Supplementing your Quilting Budget

Have you ever won quilting supplies from a giveway or contest?  How did you feel?  Excited, happy?  Were you happy that you were able to obtain the quilty item and not worry about your budget? 

I certainly appreciate whenever I win a quilty contest or giveaway as it definitely helps by quilty budget.  And, I do appreciate all the sponsors that sponsor bloggers or hold their own giveaways on the internet.  I for one, definitely think this is the best PR ever...and great fun.

While I enter a number of giveaways, I also try to share insights about the ones I've found and those that others may have shared with me.  I update try to update the page on my blog labeled "giveaways" a couple of times a week, and definitely try to do some searching to ensure it has insights on new giveaways every Monday.  You may want to visit this page and bookmark it in your favorites, and check it throughout the week to find out about various giveaways and enter.  After all, you can't win if you don't enter.
