BIG NEWS!!
I am having my website rebuilt and it is going to be spectacular!! Want a sneak peek??
It will be going live the beginning of next week and I am so excited about it. It will have SOOOO much more functionality, much easier shopping cart, a wholesale site for shops, and a much nicer look. I am learning to use Word Press and working with my web developer to make everything work. Once the final testing is done on it we will go live.
To celebrate my new site I am having a BIG contest! Watch for details. There will be some great prizes and entering is easy. Stay tuned for more on this big event.
Finally I gotta brag on my web development TEAM! Anne Ashley, the graphic designer is just the best and so great to work with! Thanks to my friend Connie in MA for putting me on to her. She is a treasure! And her buddy Jo Ericson, the web developer, is so talented and amazing. If you are looking to update or develop a new web presence I strongly recommend these two incredible women.
Phew! Now back to my apple core quilt! Oh, and did I mention, I got the borders on last night so the top is finished???? I can't believe I actually got something done JUST FOR ME!!!! LOL
I am overwhelmed! Thank you for picking my block to win for the month of June. I am very excited to find two blocks posted this month. I look forward every month to see the new block. I am doing it all in batiks and I already love this quilt!
