1,773 comments later the winners have been drawn! Thank goodness I wrote SQL for 10 years. You just never know when you’ll need those skills to manage a blog giveaway. I’m sending Jan Richards a ticket to meet me in Las Vegas. In the first round of random numbers she won 3 different prizes! After…
5/25/09: Hey everybody, I’m going to spend the day with my family and select the winners tomorrow (Tuesday, 5/26). Going to market with a friend is WAY MORE FUN than going by yourself. Looking at fabric, eating, and general aisle roaming is just better with a BFF by your side. Of all the pictures I…

I arrived home last night from Quilt Market in Pittsburgh. Quite the whirlwind trip. I’ll be sharing pictures all week of the fabulous booths and wonderful people I had the opportunity to meet. I also brought back a ton of incredible new patterns and fabric samples which I’ll be giving away. A single drawing next…
On Monday mornings we do a little show and tell at the offices of Pink Chalk Fabrics (ie the extra bedroom, the family room office, plus any and all other space I can get away with taking over in our house). My colleague Susan Berdan made this FABULOUS laptop sleeve. The wool she felted for…
