Quilting weekly discusses member features

Did you have a chance to join us last night? We had a great chat this month. Our chat was a continuation of last months chat.

In May we started talking about some of the features under "My Account" which are available only to registered members of Quilting Weekly.

Features like:

• Personal Blogs, and posting on your friends walls
• Finding and connecting with friends
• Resetting your passwords

And This month we reviewed the above topics and expanded on them even more:

• Searching the forum for specific topics
• Seeing the latest posts quickly & easily
• Finding friends from the forum
• And we also discussed the benefits of using your personal blogs/galleries

If you did not make Mondays chat, that's OK, you can join us on either Wednesday with the UK girls @ 8pm London UK time zone, or join in on Friday with our eastern members @ 8pm Eastern time. Visit t the World Time Clock to see what time it is in your neighborhood.

We have thousands of members on Quilting Weekly now, get to know them better by joining our chats or start exploring the site on your own. Make your experience even more rewarding by connecting with other members who share your passions for quilting. Remember if you get stuck, you can always send me an email.

Free - Quilt Block Challenge

Looks like we are nearing the end of the month once again. How did we get here so fast? Not sure about that, but what I am sure of is this means we will be awarding 2 lucky winners of our monthly challenge at Quilting Weekly.

May's quilt block challenge was determined by the members. Each member was to post a personal goal of how many blocks they wanted to finish by the end of the month, then post the finished blocks. Pretty easy right? 

Everyone who did this will be entered into a random draw for a free quilting class from Quilting Weekly, and they will be sent a packages of Printed Treasures fabric sheets! But it didn't stop there. For the first time we are going add a viewers choice award, so there will be a second winner this month too! This is where you can help us.

All you need to do, is go to the forum and look through the photos to pick your favorite blocks. Then send me the name of the user. I don't want these posted on the forum, so that I can surprise the winner. You can send you votes to me by email, which can be found on here under my profile. Or if you join our website you can send me a private message right from Quilting Weekly. (My user is "Chris")

Please help us pick our winner. Go vote now! The voting will close as of June 6th, 2010.

Next Months Challenge:

If you want to get in our challenge for next month, you will need to join the website to post on the forum, which is free. I suggest you visit the "June Challenge" post to see the rules. They are pretty simple, it will still be a block challenge, but I added a new twist this month. There are even more ways to win!!

We already have several challengers who posted their goals. I love to see ambitious quilters! Won't you join in the fun? June Quilt block challenge is also free..........but you still need to join the website to be able to post. This can be done from this blog (with the form at the top, or directly from Quilting Weekly)

Good luck to all the challengers!!
