Vote Now: Wildlife, etc. Quilts
Grab yourself a cup of coffee or two and browse the gorgeous Wildlife, etc. Quilts for this week’s themed quilt contest. I know we’ll all have a difficult time picking just one favourite, so this week the voting system has changed to allow you to pick more than one favourite. See below for more info.
This week’s sponsor is The Quilt Pattern Magazine. This magazine is an online-only publication and is perfect for reading at your computer and printing out templates…no need to tediously trace your patterns! The three quilters with the most votes will each win a one-year subscription for this exciting new magazine.
Give-Aways: When you’re done voting, scroll down to the bottom of this post for two give-ways that you can enter for this week.
Now it’s time for you to vote for your favourites!
- Voting is open Friday – Sunday @ 11:59 p.m.
- One vote per IP address (NOT email address), so have your family and friends cast a ballot for their favourite quilt (from home if you send it to coworkers)
- Winner announced Monday!
How to Vote:
- Review the photos and stories below… there are several, so you’ll need to scroll down to see them all.
- Underneath the photos, scroll down, you’ll see the names of all the quilts with a square button** beside each one. Select the buttons for the quilts you want to vote for. You can select up to three quilts this week.
- Then scroll down, all the way, until you get to the bottom of the names of the quilts. Then press the vote button.
** Note: If you don’t see the square buttons to vote, but instead see the voting results, that means someone on your IP Address already voted, or that the voting period has ended, or that you need to refresh the page to see the voting options. Shared IP Addresses are very common in home or work networks.
Please Note: If you are not seeing all of the photos, check your browser settings. Go to view, and text size. Make sure it’s set at medium. If you need web sites to be larger so you can read them more easily, then use the browser’s Zoom function, not the text resize. You can also use the scroll bar above, beside the photos, to scroll and see the hidden ones.

Love love love the quilts! and the ability to vote for more than one!!!
So many beautiful quilts really makes it hard to vote, even with three allowed! I know I picked out way more than that.
Beautiful quilts this week and so hard to decide on the 3 to vote for but I really like voting for more than one. I love to see all different ways that everyone made their own “wildlife” quilts. Great job to all!!!
Oh, Mishka! Thank you, thank you for the chance to vote for three!!! You have lifted the ‘stress’ of choosing just one, when so many are so beautiful.
Oh my gosh – no WAY I could have just chosen one – THANK YOU THANK YOU for letting us vote for more than one! Of course, in THIS category, every single one is spectacular! How will the judges ever choose!?
What a beautiful quilt I can relate to the 20 minutes a day as some days that is a stretch. I have used quilting to help me grieve the loss of both parents 6 weeks apart. One passed the day before Thanksgiving and used quilting to make gifts for neighbors and the Wednesday after New Years I lost my dad. Quilting has been a true blessing to just sit, sew and remember.
I love a quilter with attitude as they always think outside of the box and your blue, greens and yellow quilt does just that with design and color. Thank you
Yea for giving us 3 votes! Yea for it being so difficult to decide which of all those wonderful quilts to give them to.
Mishka,
Thanks for giving us 3 votes. It’s still hard to pick favorites because everyones quilt is so beautiful.
I really appreciate being able to vote for 3 – thanks.
