I had hoped that people would take some time with their comments, and join the <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-prompts\/\" target=\"_blank\">CPP<\/a>. I see a lot of new readers, but not many commentors and no new CPP participants. That is ok with me as I write the blog for other reasons that for readers. I just love it when I get comments. I also love it when people post their creative prompt responses.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is my latest scheme to get some participants in the CPP: a giveaway. Yes, I am going to be giving away some SILK.<\/p>\n<p>I am giving away luscious silks from a tie factory that used to be near me. I have about 15 bundles of approximately 10-20 10&#8243; squares and I am giving them all away. There are rules, oh yes, but I am giving them <strong>all<\/strong> away and I have a bin full of them. What I will do is keep track of who complies with the rules and if only one person\u00a0 follows the rules then one person gets the whole big box of silk.<\/p>\n<p>Notes on the silk: it frays a lot; one of the bundles will be one square short, because I used a piece for the <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/2010\/03\/aprons-doing-good\/\" target=\"_blank\">Petal Apron<\/a>. The patterns are all subtle and color coordinated within the bundles.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Rules:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. To get an entry you must <strong><em><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">leave a substantive comment<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. It may not say &#8220;please enter me in your giveaway.&#8221; You can say that, but you won&#8217;t get entered. I am the arbiter of substantive, but it basically means, read a post and comment or ask questions about what I wrote. Let&#8217;s have a conversation!<\/p>\n<p>2. To get TWO entries or TWO additional entries you must <strong><em><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">create a CPP response<\/span><\/em><\/strong> starting with <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/creative-prompt-63-cafe\/\" target=\"_blank\">last Friday&#8217;s Prompt<\/a>.\u00a0 Follow the<a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-prompts\/\" target=\"_blank\"> CPP guidelines<\/a> to post your link.<\/p>\n<p>3. If you want to leave a comment on this post<strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><em> telling me your thoughts on silk squares<\/em><\/span><\/strong> or what you would do with them, you will get an entry, too.<\/p>\n<p>4. No whining or snarky comments!<\/p>\n<p>5. You can enter as many times as you want.<\/p>\n<p>6. I reserve the right to change the rules at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get your hopes up that I will be dong a giveaway every week, because I don&#8217;t plan on it. I am not ruling out future giveaways, but they are not a goal. As a result, this may be your only opportunity, so join in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did the One World One Heart blog round robin thing, as you probably noticed, back in February.
