Weekly Quilt Contest: Teddy Bear Quilts

Congratulations to Ruth for winning last week’s Stained Glass Quilt Contest. She won a $50 gift certificate from Sheree’s Alchemy. Thanks to everyone that took the time to vote.

This week’s theme is Teddy Bears and is sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. Two lucky winners will each win a fat quarter bundle. See below for details.

Fat Quarter Shop

Hello Quilting Gallery fans!

The teddy bears are going to take over Quilting Gallery this week! Watch out! At Fat Quarter Shop we have bears for the holidays, in flannel and even in a children’s book print. The children’s book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear — which isn’t as much of a Teddy Bear, but he sure is a site for the memories! We also have Flannel Bear, Boo Bears, Paper Doll Christmas, Giving Season, and more!

Let’s see what kind of projects you can come up with this week including this week’s theme, Teddy Bears!

Watch out for our specials and sales by signing up for our newsletter to stay updated! Or, “Like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for other easy ways to see shop updates! We have started posting weekly Facebook and Twitter specials you won’t want to miss.

With the holidays creeping up faster every day and the adorable teddy bears hiding inside, we felt it was appropriate for this week’s prize to
be Paper Doll Christmas by Windham Fabrics. We are awarding to top TWO winners one fat quarter bundle each!

Now it’s time for me to start planning the themes for 2011 and I’d love to hear your suggestions. Some themes will be repeated, but I’m open to new ideas too. Here’s the list of 2010 themes. Please share your theme ideas as a comment below or send me an email.

    I think food/drinks/candies will be a good theme.
