Quick excitement update

A few quick excitements...


1) Cara of http://www.caraquilts.com/ is joining us as the final guest judge of the super secret Fat Quarter Shop 7.5-yard competition (oops did I let something else slip there?!) starting HERE on Boxing day (26/12).

2) I had an amusing exchange with Alex Veronelli from Aurifil who liked Giles' idea of wrapping someone in Aurifil threads for publicity. But Alex thought he might do it himself and get people to guess how many meters it took. I suggested that while he does have that Italian spunk thing going on, if he got George Clooney (who is regularly in Italy at his Lake Como Villa), that might be better publicity and, furthermore, I am selfless enough to go over and style the shoot for him. See how kind and generous I am?

3) I've put up a page for the FMQalong. It has the requirements list and will have the links to posts on it as they happen. There's a signup there if you want to sign-up. You don't have to, but it might just be nice to be able to visit one another's blog/flickr page etc and see how different people are going!

4) Finally, I've hit 200 followers - wheee! I'm giveawayed out so you'll have to wait until the 26th for the super secret super awesome FQS competition. 



If I don't post before Christmas, have a beautiful and safe Christmas! See you on the 26th. :)

Yippee - you're commenting! I _love_ comments. :) I've had so much spam lately though that I'm limiting to registered users for a bit to see if that works... If you're a friend, you can find me on Facebook and comment that way if you have trouble.
