Drum Roll Please ............

So are you ready for the big reveal!!!!! We are so excited about this - I just can't tell you how difficult it has been to keep this to ourselves!


Denyse Schmidt, yes DENYSE SCHMIDT, will be joining us in Houston to chat with YOU!!!

So what do you need to do to take part and ask Denyse a question?????

1. Get yourself a twitter account.
Easy peasy - sign up if you haven't already and visit our site www.twitter.com/fatquarterly.com and click to follow us.

2. Think of a question!!!!
Even though the chat will be live it would be great if you could leave a comment here or on our facebook page or even email us at customerservice@fatquarterly.com with your question BEFORE the big event. It will save time on the day and enable us to ask Denyse more of your questions.

3. Tune in to twitter on 30th October at 4pm US Central Time

5 pm US Eastern
2 pm US Pacific

We advise you to log in a little earlier just to make sure everything is working OK before the chat begins.

The easiest way to follow the chat is to use http://www.tweetchat.com/ Enter #fatq and you will be able to see all tweets that contain #fatq in them. Make sure to put #fatq in any of your tweets as well.

Clear as mud?

Not to worry, get signed up now and come and join us on Tuesday (Wednesday morning for you Aussies that live in the future!) for a test run! We'll be chatting about what Holiday sewing you might be doing this year, if you have started, ideas for tricky relatives etc...

  5. This is so wonderful. I love Denyse Schmidt's fabrics! Especially the Katie Jump Rope Green and Blue Ribbon. :) I'll try and see if I can join in on the Twitter chat. Maybe you could ask her what she is working on right now and what the theme of her next line of fabric is. Oh so many questions!

  7. I would love to know if she is open to doing some old designs with Spoonflower like Heather Ross did. Flea Market Fancy in other colorways would be so fun.

  8. Many fabric designers release more than one line per year. Has D.S. considered this? If so, what are her thoughts on it?

  9. I'm totally twitter illiterate. But...for those of us who can't be available during the live broadcast, will there be a transcript available later?? I'd love to read what she has to say!
