Weekend Shout Out! I'm still looking for a catchy name for this weekly "shout out". I've received the following suggestions, but am not 100% sold on any of them. What do you think? Can you suggest something catchy?
words
wonderings
wanderings

Let's have a contest! Send me your ideas and I'll offer a $35 coupon for longarm rentals, services or to go towards a class registration at the studio as a prize for the winning contribution. Deadline is the end of July to get your suggestions to me. We'll make a choice and award the $35 coupon August 1.
Have a great week sewing and quilting.
