Tallgrass Prairie Studio 2.0

So, I drank the facebook kool-aid. My youngest son is in Chicago for a few days over Thanksgiving and I have built in tech support, so I took the plunge and created a page for Tallgrass Prairie Studio. I have a personal facebook page, but I haven't been there since I started it. I'm more interesting as a business than I am as a person. I'm going to try to keep it up to date and actually use it.

I understand the facebook protocol is that you're supposed to ask people to like you. To make it easier for you, there's a button on the sidebar that when you click, magically tells facebook that you like me. Doesn't everybody want to be liked?

In other news, I received the latest catalog from C&T and I'm a cover girl! That's my quilt on the cover of We Love Color which is all about using Robert Kaufman's kona solids.  I do love konas and all those luscious colors!  I'm so excited to see inside and I have to say it's simply thrilling to be in the company of the other 15 designers in this book.

For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving this week, have a happy day.  I'm thinking about where I was three and a half years ago, having never made a quilt before.  I am more than blessed and thankful for what quilting has added to my life.

    Congrats on the cover quilt - it is amazing! I didn't realize you'd only been quilting such a short time.

    Good luck with Facebook - I joined too but am still not really sure what I'm doing :)

    Congratulations! I've already "liked" you on facebook.
    You and I started quilting around the same time (I just had my three year anniversary) and am totally humbled by where I am today after such a short amount of time. It's amazing, this world we live in, isn't it?

    Congrats on being a covergirl! You surely deserve it! I started quilting about the same time as you. It was August of 2008 for me. Too bad I'm no covergirl though.......

    Congrats on being a cover girl! Now I'm going to try to "like" you. Um, that's doesn't sound so nice--like I DON'T like you or something, but you know what I mean. :)

    Congrats, Jacquie! The COVER. Wow!

    If I had also drunk the Kool-aid and had facebook, I'd like you. Instead, you'll have to content yourself with a spot in my blogroll. LOL.

    Happy American Thanksgiving! (Ours was last month - in November, we have snow instead of turkey.)

    Sorry to be dense, but what is C&T and where can I get it?

    I want to know where to get the C&T catalog too and I'm liking you on facebook too!

    C&T is a publishing company. Their modern quilting imprint is Stash books. Google either and you'll find their catalog of books. I'm sure you can probably request to receive a catalog in the mail.

    I have to say I've been quilting for 28 years and aspired to do what you've accomplished in just a few years. I'm very happy for you, as I know that those who are naturally gifted are just that... gifted and blessed. Those of us who are not continue to dream. Have a nice Thanksgiving, and happy Facebooking. I am still refusing that Koolaid! (ggg)
