Giveaway announcements here! First, I'm so happy to be able to share with you this great conversation I had with art quilter and teacher Karen Lee Carter while we were both in Virginia for the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. I had great fun talking with Karen and really took to heart her own personal story of empowerment. I also announce my National Quilting Day giveaway (this weekend) plus Karen gave me some fun stuff of hers to giveaway as well. So listen carefully for the many ways you can get some great gifts in the next few weeks!

First off, I announce the Boxing Day Sew-In on December 26--find out what's going on and who all is involved! Next, it's time to enter in the 2012 Quilty Resolutions Give-Away!

Check out last year's resolutions podcast (Episode 33 In Which We Make Quilty Resolutions) for more information about SMART Goals and how to be successful at working your plan. And by the way, I've since removed the former Resolutions tab that was referenced in episode 33.
