5.) Free postcard

I just got a shipment of postcards! Real ones made from paper. The kind you can write on. With a pen. (I get cramps just thinking about pens....my keyboard gets a kiss) But, nothing beats a piece of communication you can hold in your hand. They feature our website splash page on one side, and a miniature "Jack Russell Terrier" pattern on the side you can write an address on. If you would like one for free, send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll send you a postcard. I also have a few print-outs of "Hummer" laying around, indicate if you would like one also. Limit 1 postcard per person, while supplies last.

Send your SASE to: FourTwinSisters.com, PO Box 111104, Campbell CA, 95011-1104, USA

6.) About Us

FourTwinSisters.com is a site that features free quilt patterns. Yes, we really are four twin sisters!

Margaret and Annette are the oldest twins and the creator of all the patterns on FourTwinSisters.com. We do all our patterns using the fine vector art capabilities of MS Word! We both love quilting, but since we both work full time and have toddlers, it's easier for us to indulge in our love of quilting by making patterns for others to enjoy. Our younger sisters, Penny and Marilyn, love quilting too but since they are in full-time medical studies they only contribute their pretty faces to our logo, and words of encouragement. We also have a younger brother, David, who, as far as I know, has never made a quilt. (Are there too many commas in that sentence? I never know when to stop.)

We hope you enjoy our free patterns!

Sincerely,

Annette & Margaret

Marilyn & Penny
