Survey Says!

Hi there-Please take a few minutes to fill out my online workshop survey. Ten questions, nothing fancy.

As incentive for responding,  I will give away, at random, up to three signed copies of my book. The number of copies given away will depend on the number of responses tallied.  So please, take the survey, leave a comment to enter your name in the giveaway and then email, facebook or otherwise contact your friends and art buddies so that they too will take the survey and perhaps win a copy of my book. Your enthusiasm and input will be (and is) greatly appreciated.

    The new book looks marvelous, darling! Glad to hear you will be teaching online. I have a special needs child so it is almost impossible for me to travel to workshops and retreats, so online classes work perfectly for me. You look fantastic, Mellie. Can’t wait to buy your book and sign up for your online classes! Waiting patiently (or rather trying to) in Utah, Debbie 🙂

    I took the survey and am excited about the idea of on-line classes.

  18. Traci Bunkers

    March 13, 2012 at 4:03 pm

    I took the survey–I think having a survey is a great idea to see what people are interested in. P.S. I think you could/should charge more than what you listed for the 1/2 hour mentoring sessions. But perhaps the price could also have “package deals” where it’s more for just one session, and s little cheaper if they buy 3 together, etc.

  19. Cindy Kuo

    March 13, 2012 at 4:09 pm

    You are so inspiring. How could people not want to take an on-line class with you! Thank you for everything you give to the creative world.

  20. Kathleen Morris

    March 13, 2012 at 4:23 pm

    Melanie, I think the online class opportunity is a great idea. I live halfway across the country from you so the chances of getting to take a class with you is limited at best. You always have such interesting and challenging ideas for art quilts. Thanks for the opportunity to put my two cents in on your online projects.

  21. Teri Lucas

    March 13, 2012 at 4:29 pm

    I would love to learn more about your style of journaling and how that flows from one project to the next.
    Hope to see you soon!

    Love the video and I can’t wait to receive my copy of your new book! I pre-ordered it on Amazon and delivery date is May 6. I’m not trying to condense time or anything like that–but I wish May 6 would come quickly. You are one of my favorite inspirational people not only because of your fantastic talent but because of your courageous fight with breast cancer. Brava to you Melanie! I’ve taken the survey and would like to be placed in the box for the selection of a copy of your new book. I plan to give it to my older sister who is a wonderful quilter and fought breast cancer the same time you did. Thank you for your daily inspiration!!!

  23. Karen Harris

  27. Cheryl Razmus

    March 13, 2012 at 4:59 pm

    I took the survey. You know I want to take more classes! (Wish I could come up to the camp session, but it’s a bit too much for this year.) I’ve taken about a zillion classes from so many people, some wonderful and some lacking some connection and zing! I know you could be very inspiring online.

  28. Kristin McNamara Freeman

    March 13, 2012 at 5:12 pm

    I took the survey and was excited to read of the possibilities that may be offered in on-line classes. I loved your interview with Rice and know that a class with you would add “color” to my toolbox. Would love to be a winner of the new book.

    Oh, that survey, got my juices going! I loved all of the classes, but narrowed down to just my top picks! Loved the idea of a master class and hope to take some class by you this year. I didn’t get to do any last year, sigh.

    Melanie, I am glad you are back in the game. Without sounding “cheesy” you are my hero and inspiration. We took the same journey last year and I am so proud to have witnessed the grace and dignity with which you travelled the road to healing and health. Looking forward to taking an online class with you. Glenda

  50. Kathy Bachofer

    March 13, 2012 at 10:14 pm

    Took the survey – online classes is a great way to get ‘face’ time with an artist when it isn’t feasible to take every in person class available. Can’t wait for QBL though 🙂

  51. carol johnson

    March 13, 2012 at 10:30 pm

    March 14, 2012 at 8:41 am

    I really enjoyed your first book. I don’t buy many books but do return to your because its so well presented. Such a good source of information and inspiration. On a different subject, I was sadden to hear about your cancer and very glad to see art as part of your life. I don’t want to lose one more of my friends to cancer.

    Would love your book….if I don’t win will gladly buy it. About the mentoring… I like the idea of a series of sessions as a way of following up on a project. I’m not up for that myself at this time, but maybe some day. So glad to see you and Arrow….hope to see you in Houston in Fall! Cheers, Sarah

    March 14, 2012 at 11:31 am

    Hey Melly,
    The two classes that I had planned to take with you were both cancelled.. I would really enjoy an on-line course, fuss free and available at any time. Your new book is very exciting, and I cannot believe you were able to accomplish that task with all the other “stuff” you were dealing with at the time..
    Keep thriving.. Susan D-L

  68. Vicki

    I love your work and your whole attitude – inspirational! Just did the survey and would love to do an online class with you or win your book.

    What a great website! Love your blog too. And I’ll be ordering your latest book. I have about everything you have published. I did the survey, but I did not see anywhere to “sign” with my email to prove that I did it. Trust me, I did. It was very interesting. I like the directions you are taking. Hope you are feeling on top of the world now.

    Melly,

    With all the free classes online, I think your master classes are priced too high and your one-on-one mentorships are priced WAY too low.

    I’m glad to have found you again – I was worried that the old blog seemed to have suddenly stopped. The new book looks great, and I love the idea of more sew-alongs.

    Took your survey. Thought you might like to know that I found your site via Amazon.com
    I had done a search on “art journal” and your book popped up. The cover looked interesting and I searched for you on google. I would be interested in taking online classes in drawing and/or journaling which you will see from my survey responses. The book looks very interesting!

      Thanks! You are the first person to tell me they found me through Amazon! 🙂

    Your new blog (new to me) is just wonderful. (I too was worried that your old blog had stopped and did a search to see if I could relocate you–so glad I did.) This new site is very exciting. You are an inspiration. I really look forward to your online offerings. Congrats and all the best, Becky
