We currently have season one DVD's in the warehouse. Here is what you need to know:

1. If you pre purchased last year - your DVD has been shipped, you will get it any day now.

2. We are in the middle of testing the ordering process to make sure that everyone receives the correct discount (this has been a challenging process).

Light a candle and send good wishes - we hope to have the DVD's available very soon. We will blast it from the rooftops when they are good to go!

Time is running out.  Don't miss your chance to win a trip to a taping of The Quilt Show in La Veta, CO. This new member campaign/contest is your 'ticket'. Basically, it works like this. Every time a new person joins and lists you as their reference, you get a "cyber ticket" put into the "cyber hat". One ticket for each person who lists you! The winner will be chosen May 30, 2008 and announced shortly thereafter.  So, don't wait around or it might be too late.  We want to meet you in September for our next round of tapings.

The more friends you tell, and the more friends who join referencing you, the better your odds will be during the drawing. For complete rules and details click here or on the banner on the right. To see the join page with the Tell a Friend entry box, click here and look at the very bottom of the page. Every time someone joins and lists you, you will receive an email notification. You can check your personal tally in your My Account link in the menu bar.

Blast an email to your friends - give them your screen name, first and last name (they should be spelled correctly) and have everyone of your quilting friends join TQS. Don't forget to end your email with your screen name, first, and last name.

Please take the tour at www.thequiltshow.com and join today.

What ever the reason - it continues to burn strong.  Does your city have any "interesting" factoids we need to know about? Inquiring minds NEED to know!
