The Janome Friend-to-Friend Challenge!
Our friends at Janome are holding a Friend-to-Friend challenge.
They want to hit 20,000 fans on Facebook and when they do, they’re giving away a FANTASTIC prize!
So … How do you enter?
Visit Janome.com and read their post of the day.
They’re featuring profiles of some of our good friends, like Anna Maria Horner, Westminster Fibers-Free Spirit Fabrics and the Modern Quilt Guild among so many others.
You’ll get to learn a little about them and the Janome machines in their lives.
Leave a comment on that day’s article and you are entered to win the prize package. You can leave a new comment each day, increasing your odds of winning.
The key is that running total on Facebook
They’ll be watching the numbers grow, and as soon as they hit 20,000, they’ll giveaway a Friend-To-Friend Prize Bundle drawing from all the collected comments.
If you haven’t already, give them a “Like” on Facebook and encourage your friends to do the same, because the sooner they get to 20,000, the sooner they’ll draw a random winner from our janome.com commenters!
Just Two Steps To Enter To Win
1) Visit janome.com each day, starting December 12th, read the article of the day, and leave them a comment about it.

Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso~
A Gilded Life
The mother-daughter design team of Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso has been collaborating in creative ways for as long as both can remember. When Shea was growing up, Debbie taught stained glass classes in the community college system and owned a custom design business and fine art painting studio. When Shea finished school, they owned gift shops together in Southern California. Shea became a highly sought-after jewelry designer; her creations appeared in dozens of fashion magazines and graced the red carpet several times. Both women designed products for the gift industry and sold pieces to collectors around the world. In 2009, Debbie and Shea completed a major remodeling of a gothic church in Dallas, Texas. Here, they indulged in their love of crowns and European design and were constantly inspired by the architecture and the light.

Charlotte Lyons
Charlotte Lyons designs and makes things in a variety of styles and media. Still inspired by the humble simplicity of traditional art and craft and the inventive use of repurposed materials, Charlotte aims to mix an unfussy playfulness with the vintage charm of handmade keepsakes.
Over the years, her work has been featured in her books (Mothers and Daughters at Home, Between Friends), those with Mary Engelbreit and Barbara Martin and also in magazines such as Country Living, Victoria, Woman’s Day, Better Homes and Gardens, Mollie Makes and Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion. Currently, she designs for her Etsy shop, licensing and teaches workshops nationally. Her new fabric collection, Walnut Hill Farm, recently debuted with Blend Fabrics at International Quilt Market.
Born and educated in St. Louis, Charlotte raised three artistic daughters in a bright pink house in Chicago. Now she and her husband live in the lower Hudson River Valley of New York, happy to have their girls (and their guys) nearby.
