Last Day of the AQ/EQ Design Challenge Blog Hop - Time for a giveaway!

This is the last day of the AccuQuilt/Electric Quilt Design Challenge Blog Hop.  Thanks to Marjorie (Marjorie's Quilting Bee), Kim (Chatterbox Quilts) and Judy (jdqltr's Sewabout Quilting) for participating in this blog hop and sharing insights on their EQ quilt designs that they submitted last September, to the AQ/EQ challenge and/or insights on how they use EQ to design quilts for AccuQuilt products.  I've certainly had fun and have heard from others they have also enjoyed it too.

Janet (Fabrics N Quilts) also shared that she had previously posted about the designs she entered in this challenge, prior to this blog hop.  While she wasn't part of this blog hop, you may want to go check out her post with insights on your lovely entries.

This past year I evaluated and wrote about 3 AccuQuilt GO! dies, with the offer that AccuQuilt would sponsor a giveaway for an AccuQuilt GO! and three dies on my blog.  I wanted to hold off to hold this giveaway till now.  So, this post is the end of the blog hop, but not the end of the fun.


This giveaway is open to anyone.  Four winners will randomly be selected.  One winner will win the AccuQuilt GO! which comes with a value pack die.  And three winners will each receive a die of their choice for the AccuQuilt GO!  Those that win a die should have an AccuQuilt GO! or be seriously interested in getting a GO! as it wouldn't be very exciting to win a die and not have a GO! 

It only takes one comment to be a winner.  I've known people that always win raffles with only one ticket.  So, if you are interested in winning, please leave a comment.  And I do ask that let me know if you want to win the GO! vs a die in your comment.  Could be a simple secret code "G" = GO! and "D" = die, or what ever works for you as I think you understand this rule.

And for those that like more than one chance, here are some additional ways you can enter.  Feel free to do any or all of these:

1) Be sure you have visited all the blog posts that were made for this blog hop and leave a comment on each one, providing feedback about their entry to this challenge and/or insights that they shared.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back to the starting post on my blog that I made this past Monday as it will point you to the blogs in the order that they were assigned.  After you have done that, leave a comment on this post to let me know you have done #1.

2) Become a follower of each of the four blogs that participated in this hop.  On blogs that are not "blogger" you can follow via google reader or networked blog.  Leave a comment on this blog to let me know you are following all the blogs in this hop and have completed #2.

3) Like AccuQuilt on Facebook and go to their photo gallery and post a comment on this Valentine wall hanging.  Leave a comment on this blog post to let me know you like AccuQuilt on Facebook and have completed #3.

4) Visit AccuQuilt's Sew & Tell Forum and find out what Bloggers with AccuQuilt products will be doing in February.  Answer the question under that thread, to be entered for another chance.  Come back and leave a comment on this blog to let me know accordingly.

5)  Blog about this giveaway and leave a comment on this post, with a link to your blog/post, for an extra entry and my appreciation!

6) Leave a comment on this post with a suggestion of what you would like to see Bloggers with AccuQuilt products do in the future, either as a group or individually.

7)  IF you are a member of the "Team of Bloggers with AccuQuilt Products", your blog name name is listed on the right hand side of my blog and you have a badge for this team on your blog.  This qualifies you to leave an extra entry in this giveaway.

8)  If you are a Blogger with an AccuQuilt product and you are committing to post a project on February 14th, that you made with an AccuQuilt product, and it has  a Valentines' theme, email me that you are committing to such a post, and leave a comment on this post to claim an extra entry in this giveaway.

9) If you are one of the bloggers that participated in this blog hop (Marjorie, Kim & Judy) you are eligible to claim an extra entry by leaving a comment on this post. And thank you for participating in this blog hop too! 

That leaves ten ways you could enter this giveaway.  Good luck!

Deadline:  February 14th midnight PST.  Winners will be drawn and announced on this block on the 15th and have 3 days to claim their prize.

You must be able to easily be contacted if your name is randomly selected as a winner.  NO-REPLY comments without an email address will not be eligible to win.

Remember, it really only takes one comment to win.  But, if you really want to win it is up to you for how many more ways you want to enter.  Just be sure to do it honestly, or all your entries will be disqualified.

Questions - email me.

6. What would I like to see bloggers with AccuQuilt products do? If/when I have a GO! I will be using it to help me with quilt patterns I already plan to make, not (hopefully) depend on the AccuQuilt website for patterns. I see quilts in magazines and on the web that inspire me, and I would want my GO! to support my activity, not me having to make what the GO! can do. So, I want to see the GO! used in that way.

Joanna said...

5. I left a comment on the thread which stated that the bloggers with GO! products would show what they created with a Valentine's Day theme using their GO! product. And this would all happen on February 14th.

Lori said...

My comment with a suggestion of what I would like to see Bloggers with AccuQuilt products do in the future is...

I love to check out new sites with quilting/sewing ideas. So I love blog hops.

If I were to win or when I am able to purchase an AccuQuilt Go or die products I would love to see easy/beginner projects that can be completed in a day or single project setting.

Thank you

I signed up to be an Accuquilt blogger and would love to participate in the Valentine's project. Not sure I have an idea just yet, but with a little pressure could some up with something!

marilyn said...

I visited the Accuquilt.com site (sew and tell) and left a comment. I'm not the biggest fan of holiday themed decorating except for Christmas because you have to take it down eventually.

marilyn said...

I'd like to see people with their AccuQuilt products share their ideas. Quilters are so creative that often I get inspiration when I read about what others are doing on their blogs. One idea sparks many more. Just keep sharing everyone! also, reviewing books and fabric that comes out is great too.
