Long time IHAN blog readers know I don't pay to advertise. I'm a peanut size business and advertising is a luxury I don't choose to afford. 100% of my business is from word of mouth or Google. You may be surprised if you have seen the June 2010 edition of American Patchwork and Quilting .
Check out page 14
Oh yeah baby.....that is IHAN right there in print. You can imagine my excitement and joy when I saw this. Talk about a Happy Anniversary....I'd say that is an awesome Anniversary present, wouldn't you?
Now....although I am sincerely grateful.....this does not mean I will put aside my plans to run off with all the Aurifil thread displays at Quilt Market. Don't think IHAN has hired nude models to distract the Italian guys at the Aurifil booth. Nope, not me. Just because I'm driving to Minneapolis with a dolly does not mean I'm conspiring a heist. (total lie.....I am conspiring a heist!!) I figure if I get a jury of my peers....I'm home free, right? Who among you would convict me of such a wonderful dream/crime? I didn't think so.....look out guys!!! ROFL
Smiles,
Kelly
That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think that, if nothing else, if you made off with tall the Aurifil displays you could at least buy off a jury of your peers!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that in the magazine when I got my issue. Was going to drop you a line about it.
ReplyDeleteI say bring home one of those cute italian (eyecandy-talian)guys and ship one to me...(send the paypal notice to hubby's email...LOL)... maybe the guys can cook?
Wheeeeeeeee!
Love ya hon!
Wow! What great advertising and linky love you got there.
ReplyDeleteAs a longtime businesswoman in the quilt business (patterns) I know what this means to YOU!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

That is totally cool!! Congrats! I've got one of those hot Italian guys at my house, okay, maybe medium, but he's still Italian!!
ReplyDeleteNice place to see IHAN, right!! What dolly are you driving to Minneapolis?
ReplyDeleteThat is SO awesome! The folks at Aurifil seem pretty nice. Maybe I'll buy a few extra spools to help out with the sudden 'shrinkage' they are about to experience (lol).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the free advertising, Kelly!!
