Vote Now: Unusually-Shaped Quilts (and a Give-Away for all to enter)

photo-contests

Grab yourself a cup of coffee (or two) and browse the gorgeous Unusually-Shaped Quilts for this week’s themed quilt contest. Thanks to everyone that has entered and shared their beautiful creations with us.

This week’s contest is sponsored by Gail Pan, who is an awesome designer and has generously donated two of her fabulous Home Sweet Home block of the month patterns. The contestant with the most votes will win one set of the BOM patterns and everyone that leaves a comment below will be entered into a random draw for the other set of patterns. See below for info on how to enter.

Needed: Sponsors for upcoming contests. Contact me if you’re interested in some awesome exposure for your quilting products or web site.


Now it’s time for you to vote for your favourite!

  • 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 circular button** beside each one. Select the button for the quilt you want to vote for.
  • Then scroll down, all the way, until you get to the bottom of the names of quilts. Then press the vote button.

** Note: If you don’t see the circular 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. 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. This is a known bug and hopefully I’ll have it fixed soon.
