about next week...

In case you haven't seen the button on the left, next week is a big week. I'll be starting a new series called 10-for-10. I've lined up some of my favorite (and hopefully, your favorite) bloggers and asked them all the same questions. Some quilt-related, and some not.  I've asked them about everything from giving advice to new quilters to sharing items on their bucket lists.  The answers are coming in and I can't wait to share them!!





So, who are the bloggers, you ask??  Well... I don't want to give away all my secrets, but I will give you a little sneak peek.  Some of the bloggers I have lined up include:

• Jennifer @ Ellison Lane Quilts
• Angela @ Cut to Pieces
• Elizabeth @ Don't Call Me Betsy
• Erin @ Two More Seconds

Of course, those of you who do math will see instantly that there are six more.   Not telling you those just yet.  I know, I know...such a tease.  :o)

To make things even more interesting, I've lined up a giveaway for every interview - that's right, 10 giveaways! Each interview will feature a mini-bundle of Joel Dewberry's new Heirloom line, donated by my friend Cathy at Wondrous Woven Fabrics. (Thanks, Cathy! xoxo)





Cathy is an absolute doll.  I've purchased from her several times and her customer service is outstanding.  To be quite frank, if it weren't for her generosity, these giveaways couldn't happen, so I hope you'll visit her shop soon.  Actually - you may want to visit real soon - she's having a sale...including fabrics from Central Park, Soul Blossoms, and Loulouthi.  :)



Lastly, I also wanted to make this announcement because there are two things you can do now to be ready when the series starts.

First - if you aren't already, you may want to follow my blog, either through Google Connect (the "Followers" at the right) or through e-mail.  The interviews will be twice weekly for five weeks. While I'm hoping to get them up on Tuesdays and Thursdays, life sometimes intervenes and it's possible that I may get off schedule. Following my blog is a sure way to not miss the posts. Also, several of the giveaways could have an optional bonus entry for followers...hint, hint.

Second - check now to be sure you are aren't a No-Reply Blogger.  Not sure what that is?  Basically, it's a person who does not have an e-mail address attached to his/her profile.  This means if you leave a comment and you are a No-Reply Blogger, I have no way of contacting you. If you don't want to add an e-mail to your blogger profile, that's fine.  Just be sure to always include your e-mail address in your comments.   If I can't reach you, you can't win.  And, as my son says, that's a bad day.  :o(

So, stay tuned and be ready to be entertained. I hope you enjoy these interviews as much as I have enjoyed getting them together.  The ladies in this group are simply awesome!
