It's a fun way for me to get to know a little more about you, in a snapshot.
My first guest is Duff. She is hilarious and super sweet. I SO wish we lived closer because we would have the best time hanging out, and I have a feeling I would be in stitches the whole time!
So here goes!

What's your day job? Literacy instructor at local university (I love this job!!)
What's your dream job? Editing and proofreading quilting books or magazines from home would be outrageously spectacular (any takers? Come on! I even found punctuation and font errors in Hartman's book!)
What's your favorite time waster? Netflix or the hot tub--both fabulous!
You win the lottery, what is the first thing you buy? a haircut- I haven't had one in 8 months!
Thanks Duff!
Hope y'all enjoyed this Follower Spotlight.
I'd love to know what you think about this new feature and if you'd like to be a spotlighted guest, email me.

What a great idea! I'm going to love finding new blogs (:
good idea!
Love the idea!
Very cool! What a great way to find new blogs AND to get to know the other people who enjoy reading your blog too!
Very fun idea! I always find it interesting to see fun little details about other peoples' lives. Apparently I'm nosy...
Fabulous idea and creative too! I guess we shouldn't expect anything less! :)
Great idea. Nice to get a quick spotlight on someone and take a look at their blog which you might never have found otherwise.
Great idea, I love it! This is a great way to meet new people in our little community. I'm also quite thrilled to find someone so close to me. If I'm guessing right I live about 30 miles away from Michelle.
Thanks Jennifer, thanks Duffy - really fun x
What a fun feature! I love the idea of getting to know more folks in the online quilting community. And, of course, I love finding new blogs! :)
I came from Duffy's blog to read this post and was glad I did. I am now following your blog through email. Fun post.
This is a great idea! I love the brief question/answer format.
Great idea! Fun way to find new blogs :)
I heartily agree! this gal is FABULOUS! I wish I could be friends with her in the "cool group"
Hey, Duff! You're right. This is a great place. I'm going to follow her, too.
Nice to meet you, Miss E. I like this idea of featuring a follower. Can I throw my hat in the ring?
Thanks for letting me know about this nice blog, Duff. See you over at C!BGP

Oops! Sorry. I mean Miss Jennifer. I got confused. I'm old and blonde. hee,hee
Neat idea. It will be fun getting to know more quilters.
Great idea! And I think I'd get along just fine with Duff - I also live near Chicago AND Kaffe's Paperweight is my all-time favorite too :)
this was so much fun to read...i can not wait to go check out her blog!
Love this idea!! Would you mind if I steal it once my blog is more popular?
Fun feature! I like the lightning-round type questions too. And Duff is my new girl crush with this sentence: "Come on! I even found punctuation and font errors in Hartman's book!"
An interesting new feature - thank you!
I love this! Great to learn about other blogs...and I'd love to participate once I get my blog going (which will hopefully be before Summit!). Her quilt is gorgeous! You have such great ideas...and even though I'm crazy busy with life right now and haven't had much time for blog reading, I will be checking in tomorrow!!
