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 answer GO! cutter
I would like to see a patchwork pattern step by step with comparison of with GO! and without GO! Haven't seen any large bed sized quilts posted by "people" who used a GO! Have only seen little projects. Would be nice to see the difference on a large project.

Sign me up for the Accuquilt. Several of the ladies in my Quilts of Valor group have one and love them. I could help cut quilts so much faster for the soldiers with this.

I would love to win a go!

Susan Entwistle said...

I have a couple suggestions for Team Projects. A swap with a finish from possibly Dresden plates or another die lending itself to a mix of fabrics, or a challenge or mystery with a die common to all. We could even donate the finishes to QFK or another charity when complete. (D)

laneycath said...

I would love to win the GO unit.

laneycath said...

what you would like to see Bloggers with AccuQuilt products do in the future, either as a group or individually.

There are a number of head trauma vets who have returned to Walter Reed but equally are being sent to various hospitals across the country. The Westwood, CA facility on Sepulveda blvd. has a large number. I believe quilts with brain stiumulating patterns and fabrics/prints will be most helpful to those who have progressed to rehab or being sent home.

Jac of all Trades said...

I love your blog :-) and need some dies! Thank you for all of your hard work.

Cheers,

PS - would love to participate more in the future as well.

Dionne said...

You have been doing so much, and I love your Accuquilt events. I think tips are great. But I would love to see a "cyber" quiltshow for people with blogs that made quilts using their cutting system but that isn't open only to those who participated in a contest. (I couldn't participate in the last blog hop because I didn't have an entry in the contest.
Cheers,
Dionne
ps would love the GO!

Joy said...

I am following yours + Kim's + Marjorie's + Judy's blogs. Thanks for the chance to win a Go!

Joy said...

It was great to see how each blogger used their Go! I was able to visit each one and commented on their day. Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway - I don't have a Go cutter but was even more motivated to put one on my "wish list" after seeing how wonderful they are!

Linda said...

AccuQuilt is on my WANT list!!!

Little Bluebell (Adrianne) said...

G for Go! If I had a Go cutter I would become a quilting machine.

My DH said I *needed* one the other night after my too tired brain made three cutting errors in a row. It was time for bed. : )
