Rules. I don't like them.

A couple people asked me today about the rules for joining in my little Finish it in August program. Not many, really. All I ask is that you have a desire to get some quilty stuff done that's been sitting around WAAAAAAY too long, and if you're so inclined, do something about getting rid of anything you don't want or need any longer. Of course, giving things to charitable groups is ALWAYS a good idea, but it's also kind of fun to give stuff to other bloggers, so I'd encourage giveaways too.

I mentioned a couple days ago that I'd consider a "finish" to be either getting something completely done or, with a larger quilt, getting a top (or flimsy) completed. And, although I won't require it, it would be kind of nice if you'd "share" your finishes on your blogs so we can all oooooooh and aaaaaaah at your accomplishments. And--if you'll let me know you've posted a finish (OR A GIVEAWAY!)--I'll post something on my blog and link to yours.

Simple, huh?

And despite the fact that I won't be wielding a stick, I DO have a carrot or two. At the end of August, those bloggers who have committed to getting stuff done--the ones listed over there in the sidebar--who have finished three or more projects will be put into a drawing. The prizes? Whatever I don't get done in August will be sent to the winner(s). Okay, NO, you're right--that's just me kidding with you again! But there will be some kind of reward for the winner or winners. And no, I'm not sure how many will win because I'm making this stuff up as I go--remember I don't like rules? But it will be good. I promise. At worst? You'll get something done in August. Cool, huh?

And for those of you who don't want to get anything done this month? Well, check in with me anyway because I'll be doing some giveaways of things I no longer want/need that are taking over the Sweat Shop. I'll be doing giveaways at least once a week, I think. Oh, and if I announced your name as a winner yesterday? Please email me your mailing address--so far I've only heard from Jess.

I'm glad you were able to stop by for a visit! Now GET TO WORK!

P.S.: Just after I wrote and posted this, I had an email from Carol, letting me know she'd posted what she's been working on. Pop over there and ooooooooh and aaaaaaaaah a bit over her cute projects!
