Since I can’t enter my own Weekly Quilt Contests, I’m always thrilled when I have a quilt to enter in one of SewCalGal’s contests.

My entry for the 2011 Christmas Quilt Show contest, is my Christmas Ornaments wall hanging/table topper I made as a bonus block for our Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along.

It’s available as a free download too. The ornaments block finishes at 12″ and the mini quilt at 19″. If you make the block/mini quilt, please share in the Flickr group… I’d love to see it.

I was told, in order to enter, I must include a photo of Milo in a Santa hat. I haven’t been able to find a hat small enough to fit him yet, so here he is with Santa.

Head over to SewCalGal’s site to see the other entries and enter a quilt yourself. The prizes up for grabs are awesome!

The theme for this week’s quilt contest is Stars. Jojo’s Quilt Shoppe are back as this week’s sponsor and have donated three Moda Candy bars for the winners with the most votes next weekend.

The quilt contests for the next three weeks are similar. Please do not submit the same quilt more than once. After this week, the contests will be Christmas Table Runners and then Christmas. You can’t submit your quilt early. Only accepting entries for the Stars theme at this time.

Jojo’s Quilt Shoppe

About Us:

We sell Top Quality Pre-Cut Quilting fabric, we provide Fast Shipping and free Custom Order Coordination for customers, which helps them to maximize their shipping dollars. In this economy we want to keep Quilter’s Quilting without having to break the bank. We want to be your “One Stop PreCut Shoppe”. We specialize in Pre Cut Fabric such as Fat Quarter Bundles, Jelly Rolls, Charm Packs, Layer Cakes, and more at 20% Off everyday.

What makes us unique:

We also go the extra mile for our customers, we order fabric for their quilt Backing (over 6 yards) when the customer is ready to finish their quilt a year or two later. We are a direct link to Moda Fabrics – We will search high and low for that difficult to find fabric, we will even refer them to a competitor if needed.

Moda Candy Bar: Each box contains 4 collections of 2 1/2″ by 5″ fabric strips and a project sheet. You get your choice of Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate. Milk Chocolate comes with lighter fabrics including: Fandango, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Bliss and City Weekend, Dark Chocolate comes with some darker but, still just as beautiful fabrics including: Clermont Farms, Collections For a Cause-Hope, Remembrance and Luna Notte. You will love them!

We look forward to serving you.
