this fabric is "It's a Shore Thing"

it's a stunning bundle
but
I also want to ask you all to go to the beyond the reef facebook business page and "Like" the page
(no liking a comment....you gotta like the page)
and remember, you have to be a blog follower to be 'entered' for the giveaway
don't you wonder why there are bloggers that ask you to follow along?
just like getting good greens and flax seed and turmeric and spinach
to stay healthy
we have to keep our "numbers" healthy too
part of that depends on us - on giveaways and interesting posts

on the content we bring you
it says to our industry that we're 'healthy'
there you have it
(probably more than you ever wanted to know about 'quilters in the industry')
