Then, suddenly lock down happens and everything changes! For some, this meant less time for 'fun' sewing. For those who were able to participate, they commented how much joy hand piecing and the QAL brought to them during these difficult times.
The Grand Prize link-up has been open for about a month. It closes today. It's been exciting to see all the hand pieced finishes popping up in the link-up and email entries.
I absolutely loved interacting with everyone via email and the Facebook group. I'm also thrilled that we've converted a few people over to the pleasures of hand piecing!
Now today is the last day to enter into the Grand Prize draw. Tomorrow we get to choose the lucky winners.
And there will be 4 of them because we've got 4 grand prizes - (1) Pressing Paradise (2) Perfect Piecing Package (3) Quilt Designers Dream and (4) Lighten Up your Room! (Read more about the Grand Prizes on this post.)
To be eligible for a Grand Prize, you must:
- Share a photo of a completed quilt top (i.e. the flimsy) or a completed quilt in the link-up below or via email. All entries must be submitted by midnight July 15 ET / 9 pm July 14 PT.
- The quilt top (blocks, sashing and borders) must be entirely hand pieced.
- Quilt tops must use at least five unique blocks from the Book Club QAL. You can use any layout that you chose for your quilt top.
- Block must visually match a block to the Book Club - A Hand Pieced QAL pattern. Blocks can be made a different size.
Winners will be chosen randomly and notified via email. Winners have 72 hours to claim their prize - if we don't hear back, we will draw another name. Once winners have claimed their prize, this post will be updated with the names of the winners.
Photos can be shared from a blog, Flickr, or Pinterest and must include a link to Elm Street Quilts or Simple Handmade Everyday. Photos can also be shared via a public Instagram and must contain the tag #handpiecedqal and/or #bookclubqal
Don't have a way to share? You can also email them to handpiecedqal at gmail dot com. Need instructions on how to link-up? See the tutorial!
Quilts shared must follow the guidelines below to be eligible to win a prize.
We hope you take a few minutes to visit others and make new friends!
Please note - sharing a photo in the link-up gives Elm Street Quilts and Simple Handmade Everyday permission to feature a photo of your block on their sites. Full attribution will be given.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
Thanks for another great QAL. I had hoped to have my top quilted, but alas that did not happen. Also big thanks to your sponsors.
