Starting this week, Melissa is hosting a Valentine’s Day Showcase party featuring 10 talented designers making something lovely for you and sharing how you can make it too.

If you’re a paper piecing designer, check out the exciting blog hop that Jennifer from SewHooked has planned starting in April. She’s looking for designers.

Some site news: registration is now open for our latest swap, New Beginnings Mini Quilt Swap and Quilter’s Super Deals will start this Wednesday.

Today, I’ll be a guest on Pat Sloan’s Quilting Radio show. The show is broadcast live at 4pm Eastern or you can download it to listen later too. Join us!

Here it is .. the massive list of FUN quilting projects found in the quilting blogosphere. Have fun trying something new and making new friends.

Are you ready for a challenge? A quilting challenge, where you get to pick one of your UFOs (unfinished quilting objects), make some progress and get it finished – or almost finished. I’ve chosen my Postage Stamp quilt for this challenge.. I’m making progress.

Some quilting FUN for this New Year’s weekend… a UFO busting Luau party and Twitter chat tonight.

I’m participating in Konda’s Fat Quarter Stars Quilt-Along. Help me decide which Star block to create.

A couple of quick polls about future Blog Hop Party events. Please share your ideas and feedback.

I have many winners to announce today. The final winners of the buttons for the Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along, the Blog Hop Party, the Sew Mama Sew give-away and finally the Christmas quilts contest.

Mark your calendars … our friends at Stitchin’ Heaven are organizing a New Year’s Eve Twitter Party again this year. It’s sure to be loads of FUN and there will be tonnes of wonderful prizes!

This week, it’s Sew, Mama, Sew’s give-away days. I realize I’m a bit late to the party which started on Monday, but hopefully better late than never, right? See what I’m giving away…
