Come one. Come all.
There’s a new quilt contest to enter!
Readers have a chance to win a gorgeous quilt made by Amish women. The money goes to the yearly benefit for their community’s Amish schools. Last year I was thrilled that by the end of the contest we had thousands of entrants. A few things to know: The winner of the first quilt contest was April R. of Temecula, California!
The photo of the quilt above is from last year’s contest and a different quilt with its own pattern and colors is being sewn for the winner. I won’t be able to take a photo of it and post it for you until the quilt arrives in June. The approximate value of the quilt is $600.
THE RULES for entering 
-
You can enter yourself into the contest one time. You can have a friend come by the site and enter themselves and you. One time per friend, please. If you have twenty friends come by the site, they can each enter themselves and your name one time.
-
Those entering are agreeing to have their full name and state listed. The contest will continue until December 31, 2008 and a winner will be announced January 20, 2009. [My apologies for the date glitch that was listed here earlier which stated the contest was over December 2007. The first contest took place in 2007. The second one/this one takes place in 2008.]
-
The winner must be a resident of the U.S. or be willing to pay the shipping costs. (Sorry, but it’s a stretch of the budget to pay for the quilt itself.)
-
The computer will automatically kick out any double entries and the final entry names and e-mail addresses will be double-checked by a human, so those who are entering can be confident that the contest is as fair as we can possibly make it.
-
After the first notice has been sent to the winner, she or he will have thirty days to respond. If we are not able to make contact within thirty days, a new winner will be chosen, but I will send one notice each week during those thirty days. Please remember to keep whatever e-mail address you’ve typed in for the contest entry functioning until after the drawing.
Thank you so much for participating! And thank you for being a part of my debut series:
