At the end of this month, midnight July 31st CST to be exact, I will be having a drawing for a surprise fabric package totalling approximately 3-5 yards of very good quality (non-Christmas) fabric that will be given away to someone who follows my quilting blog.
I am trying to generate traffic, obviously, and so at the end of the month, I will take all of the person's names that have commented on this site (even you just say "enter me in this drawing!" under this article), pool them together and draw a single name for the fabric package. If you comment more than once (under differrent articles, for example), your name goes into the pool more than once; one ticket entry per comment for the month. To gain access to all of the articles on this site, simply click the "Quilting With Terry" graphic at the top of the page; it will take you to the home page of my blog.
I also have another, very important, reason for doing this: I spend quite a bit of time writing and researching to try to give useful information to my readers in the articles I develop. It would be nice for me to know if this information is helpful or if there are suggestions for improvement or whatever... and I have no way of knowing that at this point without reader feedback. Which is where you come in. :)
So, please put this site in your favorite bookmarks (http://quilting-with-terry.blogspot.com/) and take a few minutes to check it every day or two for new announcements. Your comments really are appreciated... and help motivate me to keep giving you more free articles and quilting patterns!!

Am I the first to read your new blog? Great idea -- I have several that I follow and now yours is one of them. And that isn't just to get in the drawing for a surprise package of fabric, but that is a nice side benefit.

You're the third to read my blog! I would like to have consistent traffic, though. :) Thanks for posting! Good thing you added a name at the bottom, else I wouldn't have known who you were. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have been to your blog a couple of times and it is always interesting to read. I also like the newsletter you write up.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a chance to win some Christmas fabric. I have very little in my stash.
It's so good to see you back online again, Terry. We've really missed you.

Thank you so much! There's a button at the bottom that allows you to follow this site and be notified whenever I publish an article. It's called "Followers" in the bottom left.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogdom.
ReplyDeleteHi all...nice idea, Terry. The whole thing takes ages to load on my computer though. Maybe it's because I am a computer-semi-literate grandma!!
ReplyDeleteChristmas in July sounds great regarding fabric but I surely don't want to think about winter until December. Even that is too soon. lol

First, let me say that this is a very generous giveaway. Second, as a fairly new quilter I really appreciate all the tips and advice - I will be adding you to my blogroll! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas, but hate winter. I love snow, but hate winter. LOL
ReplyDeleteCounting down until the drawing...
What a neat idea. I have been using up stash this year and keeping track and am amazed at how much fabric I have used and not even made a dent in the stash.
ReplyDeleteTime is ticking, readers! It's like choosing fabric for a quilt... I have so much that I can't make up my mind! I want to give something that I would use!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just found your site tonight and have greatly enjoyed several of your articles. I am a beginner quilter and find your info very helpful.Thanks so much
You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteI might note that if someone posts anonymously without giving a name somewhere, I can't include them in the drawing. :(
Nina was the winner of the July Give-Away! Congrats, Nina!
