2013 Free-Motion Quilting Challenge #6 - 2nd Chance 2012 FMQ Challenge

The 2013 Free-Motion Quilting Challenge #6 is all about second chances.  You may have wanted to participate in the 2012 FMQ Challenge but couldn't find the time, or maybe you completed the challenge but feel you could do a better job.  This challenge gives you that second chance on all of the 2012 FMQ Challenges and to enter to win a prize in the 2013 FMQ Challenge.

 Everyone is invited to participate.  There are two categories:


  1. IF you DID NOT enter the 2012 FMQ Challenge to win a Grand Prize, which required you to complete 12 or more FMQ challenges, you now have a 2nd chance.  You simply need to complete 12 or more of the tutorials released in the 2012 FMQ Challenge to enter to win a prize in the 2013 FMQ Challenge. And show evidence when you enter in the linky towards the bottom of the post.
  2. If you DID  enter the 2012 FMQ Challenge to win a Grand Prize,  you can still enter this challenge (Challenge #6) by showing evidence that you have continued to improve your FMQ skills.  Your challenge will be showing that you have improved by continuing to practice four or more of the FMQ tutorials released in 2012.  Your evidence will need to show what you created in 2012 vs 2013 and your insights on how you improved!

1) You will need to have a Flickr account (www.flickr.com).

This is a bit confusing. I entered only the 2013 challenge. What do I need to do for this challenge 6? ? Finish all 2912 challenges?

SewCalGal said...

Maartje your settings are as a no reply blogger, so I couldn't email to you to reply to your comment.

Yes, Challenge #6 is a 2nd chance challenge for those that didn't complete 12 of the 16 FMQ challenges during 2012, which was required to enter to win a Grand Prize in 2012. So, now those that completed those challenges late, or those that want to complete them before Oct 31st have a chance to claim another entry to win a prize in the 2013 FMQ Challenge.

Please let me know how I could make this post clearer on what this challenge is all about.

During 2012, I completed 10 of the 12 month's challenges, so to enter Challenge #6, can I select 2 of the ones I didn't do to complete my 12?

SewCalGal said...

Yes Ruth, you are correct. As a 2nd Chance Challenge this gives you the ability to finish the goal of completing any 12 of the 16 tutorials released in the 2012 FMQ Challenges.

This is perfect! I have 5 more challenges left from 2012, and this is just the motivation I need to get back into the FMQ swing. I've been doodling feathers on my iPad like mad for a couple of months now, and I ALMOST feel brave enough to attempt Diane Gaudynski's feather challenge now! :-) Thanks for the second chance.

Great idea this second chance, I do hope lots of ladies who didn't get their monthly challenges finished will take the opportunity to do them now. Well done SewCalGal, you have done it again.
