Christmas in July on Etsy

It's Christmas in July starting today through July 24, in my shop! Please use the coupon "JULYSALE" to enjoy 10% off anything in the shop. Don't forget that I donate 10% of all my profits from btaylorquilts to the American Cancer Society.

Meanwhile, I teeter on 499 sales!!

It's true, and I feel like I'm reaching a big milestone with the shop, and of course, want to have an excuse to get excited and celebrate...even if it's something small and only means a lot to me :) You guys get it! My next sale will mark my 500th sale in my quilt shop! Yay!

Meanwhile, my wonderful and most excellent friend, Jeff Derose, has taken some photos of some of my quilts in a gorgeous field in Amherst, MA. Nicole, at Lillyella had so kindly interviewed me for a featured spot on her blog, so I needed some really nice shots of the quilts, and an actual photograph of me to include. Thanks, Jeff :) Check out his websites. It's great to get someone else's perspective on your work, and hiring a professional photographer is pretty amazing. I highly recommend it, because they really see things that you just do not. Or, as in my case, I have a certain way that I photograph my items, for consistency in the shop and all that. Anyway, here are some of the photos from that shoot... enjoy!

The March Giveaway! Yay!

I'm so excited to be holding my first giveaway! You can be automatically entered in the drawing in two ways. #1 ~ by being or becoming a "follower" of this blog, or #2 ~ by being or becoming a fan on btaylorquilts facebook page. If you are BOTH, then you get TWO chances to win.

Here's how it'll work. For lack of a more technological way to draw names, I'll be doing this the old fashioned way by putting all of your names in a bowl and having a friend draw the name. (luckily I don't have a huge amount of followers....yet) I'll then post the winner on the Blog! If I don't hear from that person within 24 hours, I'll draw another name. So be sure to check back. I'll be announcing the winner on Wednesday, March 10.

Here's what you'll get! A set of four quilted coasters from btaylor quilts! There are bigger plans in the works for the next giveaway sometime in April :)
