Show & Tell Quilts

TQS Fall 2010 Quilter’s Choice Contest Rules How would you like to win money—as much as $300!—for your original fabric creation? With the holidays just around the corner, those winnings could go a long way toward the purchase of something special on your wish list. Here’s the challenge: Come up with a project in the format of your choice, such as a wallhanging, table runner, or set of placements, that expresses the glories of autumn. It’s a time of bountiful harvest, so set your imagination free. Your project can be made from cotton, wool, silk, or the fiber of your choice. Theme: Autumn (e.g., plants, animals and/or birds, landscapes, foods of the season, color palette, etc.) Dates: Contest runs from October 18, 2010- December 15, 2010 Prizes: 1st place-$300, 2nd place-$200, 3rd place-$100 Determination of Winners: TQS members will select their six favorites, and the three prize-winning entries will be chosen from those member favorites by ARJJ. The three prize-winners must agree to allow TQS to publish their complete pattern on the TQS Project page as a free project. Notification of Winners: The three prizewinners will be notified via email by December 18, 2010 and will be announced in the December 21 eNewsletter/Daily Blog.
