Weekly Virtual Quilt Contest: Scrappy Quilts

Congratulations to May Britt of Norway for winning last week’s weekly themed quilt contest, Circles, with her gorgeous Inside my head the ideas are spinning quilt. May wins the fabulous fat quarter pack of circle fabrics from Around the Block Quilters Shop.

This week’s theme is Scrappy Quilts and is sponsored Jojo’s Quilt and Gift Shoppe. To enter, read the rules and guidelines, then submit your quilt photo. Voting will start on Friday and last until Sunday night.

Jojo’s Quilt and Gift Shoppe

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.

We are not big tweeters, bloggers or newsletter blasters – we spend most of our time searching for fabric daily, so that we can continue to provide fabric at affordable prices!

Visit Jojo’s Quilt and Gift Shoppe today!

The lucky winner of this week’s contest will receive two Authentic dessert rolls.

Shout Out Thursday: The Quilt Rat

This week’s Shout Out Thursday blogger is The Quilt Rat. She’s a fabulous quilter and doodler and always has inspiring projects she’s working on. She shares her trials and errors and I’ve learned a lot just by reading her blog the past several months.

We had fabulous weather in Ontario over the Easter weekend. Check out the sun printing experiments she did. I love the safety pins.

She participates in the Creative Prompt Project, and her interpretations of the weekly prompt in doodles are amazing. Here are a few: Steam, Pear and Quiet, and Hand.
