Voting Extended for the Nature’s Best Quilt Contest

natures-best

Unfortunately, one of the quilts entered in the Small Quilts category for the Nature’s Best Quilt Contest had to be disqualified due to it exceeding the size limitations for that category.

I’m truly sorry Deborah that I didn’t realize you entered the incorrect contest when you submitted your entry. I’ll do my best to make it up to you by seeing that you still win a free prize or two.

Because of this error, I’ve extended the voting deadline for the contest until noon on Tuesday (Eastern time). Those that voted already in the Small Quilts category for the Swimming with the Fish should be able to vote again in that category.

You can vote here. Winners will be announced Tuesday evening.

Enter the Nature’s Best Quilt Contest

Nature's Best Quilt Contest

There are still a few days left to enter the Nature’s Best Quilt Contest for your chance to win fabulous prizes. Registration closes on Friday, September 25, 2009. Voting will start on Saturday morning and last until October 4, 2009.

Two of the entries submitted for the small quilts and projects contest caught my eye as they were done by a 5 and a 6 year old from Germany with a little bit of help from their mom. Both quilts have won awards too.

Swimmy by Hendrik, 5 years old, won second place in Birmingham at the Festival of Quilts 2008.

Visit in my Garden by Jonas, 6 years old, won a second place in a German competition from the Patchwork Gilde Deutschland in 2007.

While I don’t have kids of my own, I hope I’ll be able to share my quilting love with my nieces when they get older and come visit me in Ottawa.

Nature’s Best Quilt Contest

It’s two contests with one theme: small projects (e.g. table runners, bags, wall hangings, lap quilts, etc.) and full-sized quilts. Read the full contest details, see the prizes and submit your photo(s).
