It's a blog hop - prizes!

Pat Sloan is hosting a Virtual Retreat this weekend, Sept 26 to 28 at her blog. She invited us to be part of the fun so we are giving away a blog prize (which is like a door prize, except there's no door)! Just visit OUR blog on Friday, Sept 26, and leave a comment on this post. Then on Saturday we'll announce a RANDOM winner of our prize - a copy of our book Piecing the Piece O' Cake Way! 



We will post the winner's name and contact you by email to get your mailing address. Please note that if your email address is not part of your profile, we won't be able to email you. If you are the lucky winner, you can email us at pieceocake@bresnan.net to give us your address. I do have to say that Linda and I are both out of town. If we have trouble connecting to the internet to post the winner, know that we will post the winner as soon as we can.

Good luck and have FUN at Pat's retreat!

Click here to go to Pat's Virtual Retreat. There are sure to be even more prizes!

    Hello
    I love your patterns and am currently doing "Flourishes". I also won 1st prize viewers choice with "Journey to the North Pole" at our guild exhibition
    I have another pattern of yours that I am going to do, (when I find that the days have a few extra hours).

    Clever idea!

    I recently purchased Aunt Millie's Garden pattern, and I just started it. I'm doing it very similar to the colors in the pattern with a red background and scrappy flowers. Fun fun fun.

    I'm bringing three blocks with me on my upcoming vacation to Asia. I hope it will be a fun project to pass the time on the plane. Maybe it will help start conversations or bridge a cultural divide.

    I took Becky's class on applique in September 2007 at my guild in Kansas. So far the techniques I learned are producing nice results.

    Good luck on the blog-hop.

    Hi Becky and Linda,
    Thanks for the email announcing the blog hop. Sounds like fun!

    I ordered some new fabric of yours and can't wait to put it to use.
    That will be AFTER all the other projects that are lined up earlier.

    I looked to The New Applique Sampler book for guidance to make a quilt for my daughter. She designed it using EQ5 and included appliqued Sues and Sam to represent our family members. It was my second experience with needle turn applique. The first was not so enjoyable, but now I like it!

In fact this week I received my copies of two of your books (The New Applique Sampler and Applique Delights) and your DVD in Spanish. I ordered them from a bookstore in Spain. As an applique lover and a high school Spanish teacher, I thought it would be fun to read the books and watch the DVD in Spanish. A great opportunity to expand my Spanish vocabulary around my favorite topic - quilting. Have a great weekend! Jay
