The Web Store
http://www.caroldoak.com/store.php
There are several surprise sale items available in the web store. Take advantage this month of these reduced prices.Rotary Point Cutters - I have now exhausted my supply of these out-of-production cutters. I still do have a supply of the replacement blades. I am looking for a substitute that is just as good and will let you know when they are available.
The new Easy Reversible Vests-DVD has become a very popular items with lots of positive reviews rolling in. Take advantage of the bundle package to purchase the book and the DVD together and save big!
I have uploaded a preview of the DVD on the home page so you can get an idea of this new product. If you are the type of person who likes to be shown how, then this is for you.
Please Note: I will not be able to ship product from December 5 through December 13. All orders placed during that period will be shipped on December 15th.
Book of the Month
http://www.caroldoak.com/store.php
I decided to make the 300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks the Book of the Month book because it has something for everyone! This is a must have in any paper-piecer's library. It is a super value and jam-packed with block designs. The Foundation Factory CD that comes with the book, gives you all the flexibility you need whether you enjoy making miniature quilts are bed-size quilts. This book will have you paper piecing all year long! Take advantage of the reduced price this month to add this one to your library or give it as a gift.

The Carol Doak Yahoo Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CarolDoakQuiltingGroup/What can I say but this group of nearly 4400 wonderful quilters from around the world are so inspiring. I recently uploaded a new 2008 Holiday Ornament Design. It is fun to see the photos of everyone's packages. The ornaments at the top of the newsletter were made by Nancy in Virginia. These are great to hang on the tree, use as gift tags and even insert a little green stuff inside as the gift that includes a gift.
Members just finished up a tea cup swap and now they are working on a Potted Posey Swap.
The Scenic Block of the Month continues to be very popular. Each month, I upload a design, members make the block using their own creative twists and upload a picture. At the end of the month, one participating members wins a prize from me in a random drawing. The November Block offered lots of creative options for members. Cathy from Maryland really put her personal touches into the block she made for November. How can you not smile when you see her block?
If you would like to join the group, just click on the link above. We will leave the light on.
On the Road - Not Really

All the best,
