Grand Prizes will be awarded to those that have taken the Pledge to complete all 12 FMQ tutorials.  After they complete all 12 tutorials there will be a special post with information on how they enter.  Prizes will be randomly awarded in early 2013.

SewCalGal is proud to recognize our

The winner will need to determine the size that is appropriate for them by visiting the page on Quilter's Touch site that shares insight on how to help fit gloves.




Winners of the January Challenge were randomly selected by those that completed the challenge.

Congratulations to the following winners:

Prize #1 -  Mary (Quilt Dancer)

Prize #2 -  Jen (Closet Quilter)

I will send an email to these winners to get their mailing information and confirm that they want to claim this prize.  If I do not hear back from them within a week, another name will be drawn. 

As I am mailing out these prizes, at my own expense, I do want to share that to help offset such expenses I now have sponsored advertisements on my blog.  If you are interested in a paid sponsorship advertisement, please email me for more info.  And, I hope you will all support all sponsors of SewCalGal and definitely "click" on their advertisements and go visit their shops. 

Don't forget that the  main page for this event is http://www.sewcalgal.blogspot.com/p/free-motion-quilt-challenge.html and it will be updated throughout this event, to provide a summary of current info and links.

Quilters of all levels can enter this challenge anytime. Take the Pledge by signing up.

WOO HOOO,
A big thank you to the sponsors of this FMQ challenge.
Thank you so very much SewCal Gal for having this FMQ challenge and for setting up the FMQ Facebook page.
I have found your blog to be a great resource for what is happening in the quilting industry and the Facebook page has led me to many great quilters and blogs across the world.
I think this whole endeavor is a winner.
