The More the Merrier Giveaway

image from http://salsa.wiredforchange.com

So I've often heard the phrase, 'the more the merrier' and I would like to incorporate that idea into this giveaway. The idea is to spread the word about our Drawstring blog and the more 'followers' we have the bigger the giveaway.

Here are the details, if you're not a 'follower' become one now!

If you are a 'follower' spread the word to your friends

Once we get to:

50 'followers', I will give away a $10 gift certificate

100 'followers', I will give away a $20 gift certificate

200 'followers', I will give away a $40 gift certificate

(all winners will be picked randomly from the 'followers' list picked thru random.org)

So get going!!!!!

Pre-Ordered-Coming in April

I was so excited when I first saw the new collection being offered by Cloud 9 as part of their Designer Series. Cut Out & Keep by Heather Moore. I pre-ordered some of the fabrics, unfortunately they don't come until April, but I will be anxiously awaiting. They are organic cotton and will run $12/yard-pretty good deal for Organic.

Today I

got my FLU SHOT. I debated whether to do this for awhile and kept putting it off while I was pregnant-I honestly didn't have a really good reason, I have never researched it enough to say that I am against vaccines, I just think a little part of me thought I was invincible-silly I know. But now that I have two little ones at home, one that is too little to get the flu shot, I needed to think about them. My mom also went to the Dr today and he told her that it's a really bad flu going around and it's going to be a tough flu season(isn't every flu season). So I sucked it up and gave them my arm and got my band aid and hot chocolate-not really a bad deal if you ask me.

Virtual Quilting Bee

Interested? Please say YES! I'm very excited about this idea and should have gotten a move on it last month so that we could start right away in January, but needless to say I had some things going on :)

Anyways, this is open to anyone in the US-you do not have to live locally. Basically the Virtual Quilting Bee is made up of 12 people who are each assigned a separate month as their month to be the recipient of the blocks. The bee will run then for a year, with each person taking turns making blocks for for everyone else 11 months, and one month sending fabric out and receiving their own blocks back.

So if you are interested please email me at drawstringstudio@gmail.com and we'll go from there. Hopefully we'll get enough people right away that we can get this started. Here's a link to some block tutorials if you're interested as well. HERE
