Back to testing--Vol 4

I am excited again to be testing more blocks for the Quiltmaker Magazine.  It was so much fun the first time that I had no qualms about volunteering again.


Last week the mailman delivered a thank you gift; a coffee mug with the blocks from Vol 3 printed around it.  Later that day the UPS man arrived with two copies of Volume 3.  I could hardly wait to sit down and browse through it.  I found my name on page 7 listed with the other testers.


Today the editor sent me this fun brag button to display on my blog or Facebook page.  (I'm going there next)  The fun just keeps on rolling in.  Along with the button email came news that a collection of fabrics will be sent soon for me to use on the new test blocks or to save for using later.


I'm so busy trying to finish up some of the projects I've started so I haven't used any of the block designs I've tested.  I'm thinking of using a couple of them in a baby quilt for my friend's newest grandchild expected in October.  My editor tells me I can submit photos of any of my projects from Quiltmaker patterns to a show and tell gallery at Quilter's Club of America, http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/,  I can post my pictures and have a chance to win prizes. I think I'm going to check out my quilts and see what I have.  Maybe I can win a new car or boat or trip to Hawaii.  Golly, my thoughts are just running rampant!

This Friday my first testing blocks will arrive by email and I'll have two weeks to complete them and submit my reports.  I already know that I'll be on the road heading to Canada for some of them so it'll be a challenge for me to complete my assignments while I'm on the road.  This is going to be fun!

My Thank You mug
