Followers Needed, please…

| January 20, 2011

I recently started a fan/business page on Facebook and I’m such a novice on it! Now I have added an app that will push posts from this blog (via syndication with NetWorked Blogs) onto my Facebook page. In doing so, I have added a Followers widget to my right sidebar. Oh, you probably didn’t notice it way down there because I am lonely being the only follower to my blog!

Won’t you help me move it toward the top by clicking to be a follower? If I get a few followers in there I will slowly move it toward the top right instead of way at the bottom. Some of you have hundreds of followers, will you please share a few. :)

Latest quilt pattern with a video!

| January 11, 2011

“Spirit of the West” is the latest quilt pattern by Trails of Thread. I hope you’ll take a minute to watch this short video with close ups of the quilt and some really great music. The essence of the quilt is to capture the old west and its influences; a link from the past that is present today.

More information about the pattern (can be three different sizes) is located on the pattern website at: www.patterns2quilt.com.
