Hey everyone! I’m so glad I have some partners in crime this month. This episode I review the goals of the Mayhem ladies. Hopefully hearing our goals out loud will give us plenty of steam to meet the challenge.

And the winner of the Quilter’s Newsletter subscription is: Collette! Thank you everyone for entering, and congratulations to Collette.

The AQS show at Paducah has the winners listed. Go check out the list! There are some beautiful quilts.

Would you like to win a $1000 Accuquilt shopping spree? They are holding a contest. Check out the details.

Have a listen to the show.

Episod #4 – Quilt fix by snail mail

There are lots of ways to get your quilt fix by snail mail – who doesn’t love getting mail?!

Show notices – glossy brochures to upcoming shows are lovely to get. Here are a few I’ve recently received:

The Original Sewing & Quilting Expo has 4 upcoming Spring events around the United States, including Cleveland on March 26th, 27th, and 28th.
AQS Quilt Show & Contest in Paducah Kentucky, April 22nd – 25th. Big Gammill giveaway – go here to enter for free or join up as a member.

Sewing catalogs! I love catalogs! Sure you can shop on the internet too but then you don’t get the joy of touching glossy paper. And you can still browse when the electricity goes out.

Keepsake Quilting - order a free catalog for yourself here.
Sewing with Nancy - order a free catalog for yourself here.

Magazines!! There are tons of magazines to read, here are the three I get:

Quilter’s Home
Quilter’s Newsletter
The Quilting Quarterly (from NQA)

What about…

Block of the Month programs – otherwise known as BOM’s.
Fabric subscriptions – some shops offer a subscription service similar to fruit-of-the-month clubs, with themes like Bali or Moda fabric, etc.

Many thanks to those leaving comments!!!
