Yes, I know I'm yelling, but you have to hear me a long way away. I feel like the town crier...
SEWN IS UP, AND ALL IS WELL....
OK, we HOPE all is well. You can't imagine the volume of what we have loaded in the past few days, and Damian is freaking out on the other side of the desk here, so if you are surfing around and find something that isn't working, PLEASE let us know and we will get right to fixing it. There are a few parts of the site that aren't live yet, so please be patient and they will come asap.
On the flip side, if you find something you LOVE and want to let us know, please do, because we are dying to know what you think! This site has been two years in the planning after all! Have fun everyone, and remember that there is more being loaded even as we speak. Yippee! Sarah Fielke Material Obsession 2 Material Obsession blog
PS. If you are a participating blogger and you have not received a thank you email from me tonight, please shoot me an email so I can send you one. There were quite a few of you who did not send me your email addresses when you signed up, and as the addresses are for emails and not blogs I'm not sure who is who. There is a little surprise attached to the email so let me know and I will send you one. Thanks!
PPS. We know that the SEWN buttons on some of your blogs have died - something the web guy said about codes and site movement.... here is the new code:
<a target='_blank' href="http://www.sewn.net.au" target="_blank"><img src="http://thelastpiece.typepad.com/sewnbutton.png" alt="SEWN" border="0" /></a>
We would really appreciate if you still link to SEWN and continue your great suppport!
SEWN is great & bright!
i love it!
i am exploring... if found something is not right, will alert you asap.
congratulation! well done!

LOVE the new site!! It's really great; I'm actually disappointed that I'm not actively looking for a piece of fabric to check out the fabric finder:) I also really liked the interview w/Brandon. FYI, if you ever run out of famous people to interview, I wouldn't mind the same questions just put to your followers. One technical glitch...I couldn't get directly from the site to your blog. I only tried twice; it could be my computer. Thanks and congrats...the beginning of a new era of the global quilting community!

Tried to get in and it is not working. I will just keep in touch to see if something will happen. Tried to down load the magazine and it wouldn't work. I'll keep trying.
Can't wait.
