Quilters of the Caribbean Contest

Photobucket

AccuQuilt, HandiQuilter and Golden Threads are sponsoring the Quilters of the Caribbean contest.

If you are not yet on Facebook, this is another great example of what fun you are missing.  It is truly easy to sign up and create your own Facebook account for free.  If you have been avoiding Facebook, consider using it just for quilting fun, as there is a lot of fun and inspiration on Facebook for quilters.

Ok, I'll get back to this contest.  You simply need to sail the seas on Facebook and follow the map for the gold (amazing prizes for quilters).

On your adventure, you'll visit Golden Threads SpringHandiQuilter's Cove, and AccuQuilt Cove.  At each of these places, there will be clues for more info (e.g.  you'll find a link labeled "Quilters of the Caribbean" where you'll find a secret code).   Once you find all three codes you'll click on the "X" on the chart for the gold and you'll be magically taken to a place where you'll enter your codes that are required to officially enter the contest.  Very fun and easy.  And, you could win a fantastic prize:

Winners of this contest will be emailed on May 31st. 

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, its a Quilters Life for Me!

If you are not yet a Facebook member does this get you motivated to join fellow quilters on Facebook?  Yes, good.  I hope you'll like me on Facebook too.  And, if you are still thinking  you don't want to join Facebook, I'll leak this secret:  AccuQuilt will have another fun contest next month, with yummy prizes too!  How many opportunities to win great prizes and have fun with fellow quilters are you willing to give up?  Gosh, every Friday they have a great giveaway for their fans on Facebook (e.g. a GO! Baby has been given away every Friday). 

If you are already a quilter that is on Facebook, and have other recommendations as to why Quilters should join Facebook and/or join AccuQuilt on Facebook, I hope you'll leave a comment and share your insights.  Gosh, there must be at least 100,000 quilters out there that are missing a lot of fun by not being on Facebook (and liking AccuQuilt on Facebook). 

If you know of any quilters that are not on Facebook, I hope you'll let them knw about all the fun they are missing.

I do enjoy fb. I have really backed away from it as much and spend my time on blogs more. This sounds like a blast though..I am going to have to join in!
