Thank You Kickstarter Backers!

March 22, 2018 by Ebony Love

As the time for final die shipment draws near, I wanted to take a few minutes to thank the awesome, awesome people who helped to make this possible.

If you missed the excitement, last fall I launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the release of my first set of designer dies. The support was absolutely incredible, and I appreciate everyone who was part of that experience.

We raised enough money to fund the down payment on the initial run plus the prizes, and dies are in-house so we can begin reward fulfillment.

If you missed the opportunity to purchase my designer dies, you can buy them in my shop on this page. I’ll also be running Round 2 funding in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for some special combinations!

Without further ado, let’s get the party started and thank all the amazing people who contributed at so many different levels to make this possible.

No Reward

First, I want to give a shout out to the 17 people who contributed a total of $1,001 to this campaign and requested no reward. Because of this, I have very minimal information about who these backers are, and can only thank them privately through Kickstarter. These people contributed to just be supportive, and I just want to publicly acknowledge you and say thank you.

One of the benefits of this campaign was that it enabled me to fund my appearance on The Quilt Show with Alex & Ricky. Contrary to popular belief, the guests who appear on the show pay their own travel expenses – the show does not fly you out to film. Thanks to your generosity, I was able to do this and show the dies from our campaign.

You folks are the best community I could have ever hoped to serve.  Thank you from the bottom of my die-cutting heart!

    Congrats on a job well done. Do you know when the episode of the The Quilt Show will air? I want to get it on my calendar. Hope it brings in lots of sales and interest in your company. Looking forward to the next set of dies from LoveBugStudios.
