Quilt Calendars?
A question for my quilting friends: Would a desktop block-a-day calendar interest you? I'm sure you remember all those that were on the market for years (I created 15, plus 4 wall calendars - I'm just saying . . .) It's not my own initiative and I just want to know the interest level.
It began with the 2006 calendar. I initiated this because the 2004 calendar I received as a Christmas gift was so poorly done (from the viewpoint of a quilter). The publisher said: "OK. Let's see you do it!" I made their publishing deadline and from there it was only up!

Why am I asking? A publisher wants to fill the empty niche out there and try to fill it with my work. The 2020 calendar was the last one I did. There were THOUSANDS of blocks designed over those years and hundreds of unique quilt patterns.
But - IS THERE INTEREST? If you saw a new desktop quilting calendar for sale, would you want it? Would you buy it? I know my generation (those of us with gray hair) loves printed media. But, I want to hear from everyone.
It's OK to say - "I'm not interested."
Please let me know! I value your opinion. Many thanks!
Oh yes. I like this calendar very much. I would be happy if there would be a new one....
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the comment above -- would very much like to have one.
DeleteI would be interested. I like a paper calendar to write doctor and other appointments so that I don't forget. The quilt blocks would be a bonus.
ReplyDeleteSherry. Yes, we all like a paper calendar. I'm not married to my phone. Paper!
DeleteI love your calendars! A new one would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, here's hoping the publisher will come to some terms this afternoon. They came to ME; not sure exactly what they want, but will tell all when I know.
DeleteI would buy one - I buy 2-3 different ones a year. I keep them too!
ReplyDeleteI don't see too many quilt related calendars anymore. The major publisher - Andrews McMeel - doesn't have much in crafts. Evidently, there isn't a market. We'll see!
DeleteI would be interested. I always have a paper calendar as a backup as one never knows when their phone can't connect somewhere, loses its charge, or dies completely. I know because it has happened to me many times. Also, I can write things on my paper calendar easier than I can on my phone.
