Contribute for a chance to win a $25 MSQC gift card!

If you haven’t heard about the new Online Quilter’s Market be sure to read our last post.  To sum it up, it’s kind of like a blog of blogs, or a blog where anyone can contribute a post at anytime.  It’s a place where quilters can share ideas, knowledge, tips, tricks, patterns and projects.

To get the ball rollin’ we’re having a contest.  Anyone who contributes a post before midnight on August 26th is automatically entered into a draw to win a $25 MSQC gift card for the online shop.  All you have to do is participate to enter!

Furthermore, if you read the last post, you’re probably also aware that any post submitted also has a chance to earn a $5 MSQC gift card if it receives 20 votes.  You get a vote when someone (tell your friends to vote you up) reads and enjoys your post enough that they click the “vote” button (with the thumbs up icon on it).  In addition to the $5 gift card, the submission will also be featured on the MSQC Cutting Table blog and you will receive a “I was featured on the Cutting Table” badge that you can place on your blog if you have on.  If you don’t get a lot of votes on your first submission, don’t get discouraged, just try again!  You’ll soon get a feel for what the quilting community likes.

If you have a blog, this is a great way to funnel traffic your way, and you can easily set up your account so that your blog posts automatically get submitted to the Online Quilter’s Market.

Remember, you don’t have to have your own blog to participate.  Everyone is welcome!

Good luck and happy quilting!

This week at the Shop, Mom made this apron using a new pattern we got in.   It turned out awesome.  I love the detail, that cute little ruffle and the buttons.  Who wouldn’t feel “all dressed up” to clean [or cook] in that little number? I do have to say that I am in love [...]
