3. Prizes!!
We have three prizes for the quilt along which will be given out randomly to those that submit a quilt top or finished quilt to the QAL parade.
Quilted Ever After are longarm quilting sisters Andrea and Caitlin from the Twin Cities, MN. They didn't grow up sewing or quilting but their grandma and mom did lots of quilting and sewing. As the sisters grew older, they decided that we wanted to give these skills a try and fell in love with quilting. Andrea and Caitlin decided to start a longarm business to bring people’s quilts to life.
Quilted Ever After's prize of longarm quilting details: they will provide quilting, thread, and return shipping for the winner. The winner can choose to quilt from the quilt along or other similar sized large throw. Winner pays to ship the quilt to to longarmer and for batting.
BONUS - Just for the participants of the quilt along, Quilted Ever After is offering 20% off longarm services for all quilts (not just QAL quilts) from now through the end of the quilt along! When you reach out to them, simply tell them you are part of the QAL for the special pricing.
I (Meadow Mist Designs) will be awarding prizes for two winners: a charm pack, quilt patterns, and Aurifil thread.
