I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. I know I did!  My husband, two puppies, and I spent part of the break at our mountain getaway in Southern Colorado and the remainder of the time with our family in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed a white Christmas and a lovely family dinner.

Now that things are getting back to normal, I can tell you about several new products and a post holiday 30% off sale on most cases (see code below)!

New Preppy Vintage Design

Preppy Vintage Phone Case
There is so much going on at Quilt My Phone that I hardly know where to begin!  So I'll just jump in.  First, I have a new vintage quilt design called Preppy Vintage.  The quilt that inspired the design was being sold on ebay as a "cutter" quilt -- that is, one meant to be cut up and used for crafts, etc.  I saw it and just fell in love with the pink and green color scheme.  It reminded me of my days at the University of Virginia when "preppy" was the style. Pink and green ruled! 

One reason it is a new favorite is that you can see every single bit of wear and tear that the quilt has seen, faithfully reproduced in fine detail on the flexible plastic case.

It is shown on an iPhone 4/4s case in the photo but it is also available for many other models.  Looks especially good on a white phone!  To see this design and more, visit the website.

Do you ever think of your phone as a lethal weapon?  Well, it could be!  A lethal MARKETING weapon, that is.  If you have a business of any kind, your phone can act as a powerful force for you, breaking down barriers and paving the way for you to talk effortlessly about your product or service.  

Admit it, most of us carry our phones with us everywhere -- to the store, on airplanes and elevators, to meetings, on vacation -- everywhere.  Now, if your phone featured your business' logo on its cover, you would have a natural conversation starter like no other.  Its almost like carrying a tiny billboard around with you.  

Imagine this scene...you get into an elevator with two or three other people. You stare at the ceiling or at the floor.  At most, you say "Hi" or nod your head.  Occasionally, someone will say something like, "I like your purse," or "Nice weather we're having."  But what if your phone case was so compelling that people couldn't stop themselves from commenting, "Quilt My Phone?! What's that?" or "Lost Reflection?"

And there it is, the opening, even if it's only a second or two, to say, "Yes, I design quilt-inspired cases that support museums. Here's my card," or, "Yes, I just published my first novel, do you like vampires?" or "Yes, I'm an interior designer. Would you like my card?"  It's up to you whether you add "Here's my card," "Would you like my card?" or just continue the conversation.  Many times, starting is the hardest part and using your phone as a lethal marketing weapon can help you get past that initial awkwardness.

To design your lethal marketing weapon, visit QuiltMyPhone or Fabcases.
