Tina Craig discussed World Wide Quilting: An Exploration of Quilting on the Internet. Tina has been quilting for over 25 years and uses the web extensively for inspiration, information and incentive as she swaps fabric & blocks and tests patterns for other quilters. She shared several favorite web resources and displayed some of the projects she has crafted over the years.
