Profile photo of Quiltnmama
While the NY Giant won the Super Bowl with an upset over the New England Patriots, Quiltnmama from Rohnert Park, CA has won the drawing for my autographed copy of my Rhapsody Quilts book! The beautiful quilt, Amish Sunshine & Shadow - also called Trip Around the World was made by Alibeoley from Redditch, WORCESTERSHIRE, Enlgand. Over forty of you went on the quilt search and GOT IT RIGHT! Hope you saw many other beautiful quilts during the search.
Not only will Quiltnmana get a book, but I'll be sending a signed copy to aliboley for using her quilt in the contest.
It's a new day! Everyday!

"They Came From Outer Space" by bakewell
Have you finished a quilt top but found that it needed a little bit more sparkle? Why not add a touch of something from the sewing department of your local fabric store? The trim and edging section is filled with dozens of ways to add unique details to a project.
Sold by the yard or pre-packaged, edgings include many options such as piping, rick rack, lace, and ribbon with beads. You just may find the perfect piece to set off your quilt. bakewell found that black rick rack was just the touch she needed for her "They Came From Outer Space" quilt. So, the next time a quilt has you stumped for ideas take a stroll through the sewing department for inspiration.

This priceless photo is Alex Goodwin - photo by Ruth Goodwin (mom)
No, neither Alex nor Lilo (TQSWizard) have had a baby. Thank goodness! However, ARJJ has added a new person to our family, Marketing Director, Ruth Goodwin. Ruth lives in North Carolina. As time goes on we'll tell you more about her. But first, you need to meet her four year old son, Alex - yes, Alex. Here is what Ruth sent folllowing a conference call:
"So I was on the phone with yall and lo and behold I look out my office window and this is what I saw riding around in my driveway. So as soon as we hung up, I HAD to run out and take a photo to share. The boy under the outfit is my 4 year old Alex. The Hunter orange vest is a vest that he HAD to get when we were at Dick's Sporting Goods last night (on sale for 93 cents. Yippee!). The bike is his new "ride" from Christmas.
You gotta love the outfit, the bike - we'll - everything!
Now get this - Ruth's son Alex is named after her father who is named Alexander Thomas Anderson. While her dad goes by Thom Anderson her grandfather was Alexander Anderson.
Go figure!

Hello Everyone,
Here's my chance to blog a bit (smile). We have received a few tech support emails regarding the pricing of the Series 1 DVD as it was explained in the January 29, 2008 Volume 2, No. 5 Newsletter. This blog hopefully explains the pricing of the DVD with a bit more detail.
The Retail price of the Series 1 DVD is $49.95.
The discounted price of the Series 1 DVD is $19.95. This discount is available only to members who have purchase Series 1 online. An additional 5% discount from the Quilt Show Shoppe for all Star Members is applied, bringing the total price down to $18.95.
If you have purchased Series 2 or 3, but not Series 1 and want the Series 1 DVD, your price is $24.95 plus the additional 5% discount.
Charter members who pre-purchased the DVD back when we were just starting, no additional amount is due. We will simply ship your copy when the DVDs become available.
Hope this helps to clarify.

Sometimes the life of a quilting superstar gets just too complicated and you need a mother's help. Obviously Ricky was having a tough time deciding on which shirt to wear for a show taping, and mom had to step in to take over the situation. Which shirt should he have chosen the green long sleeve or the green long sleeve?

"It Has How Many Pieces"? by mtcreekquilters
On January 18, 2008 we asked you to guess the number of squares in this quilt. Well, we contacted mtcreekquilters and found out the actual number of squares in this postage stamp quilt is 7,744. The total number of hours her husband spent in Iraq. Great guesses everyone!
