Ready, Set, OctoberQuest at TGIFF!


This month marks the one year anniversary of TGIFF!, which you undoubtedly know is a joint CanAussieaa venture by yours truly and M-R of Quiltmatters.  To mark this auspicious occasion (yes, I'm going to whip out my $10 words today), we've got a new look and new buttons courtesy of the fabulous Em from Sewing by Moonlight. Thanks very much, Em!

In honour of this milestone and, more importantly, you fine people who link up, we are celebrating with OctoberQuest -- a month of quilting debauchery.

Your quest, should you choose to accept it is to finish up those quilty projects, whether it's for the upcoming Bloggers Quilt Festival, the 100 Day Hustle, Finish-A-Long, Halloween, Thanksgiving or even, gasp, Christmas (just think how Super Quilter-ish you'd feel if you were done some of your Christmas gifts before November even started). Or finish up those WIPs, UFOs, charity quilts, or um, overdue gifts -- you decide!

To get your quilting mojo going, we've got some incentives for you. Pam from Mad About Patchwork is giving a $50 gift certificate to two lucky participants! And there's something for everyone too -- Pam's offering 10% off purchases for the month of October to all OctoberQuest participants -- just use TGIFF10 at checkout. Sweet, eh?!

So here's how OctoberQuest works:
  1. Your quilty project must be completely finished (As much as we love celebrating quilt tops or completed blocks, they will not be eligible for the prizes).
  2. You may enter more than one finish and even more than one finish each week. Just add a link for each finish to one of the linky parties. The linky parties will stay open from their start date until the end of the month.
  3. Your post/photo on Flickr/Picasa must have a link back to the TGIFF! site and the particular party you are participating in. 
  4. Link up your quilty finish in any of the TGIFF! linky parties this month:
  5. OctoberQuest will be open until October 31st at 11:59 p.m. EST. A winner will be picked via Ms. Random Number Generator on November 1st and notified via email. Please make sure we can contact you via email or we will need to blow the gift certificates on ourselves run Ms. Random again.
So put down those beer steins, forget OctoberFest, and start polishing off those projects to share at OctoberQuest, starting this Friday at Better Off Thread.

Yippee - you're commenting! I _love_ comments. :) I've had so much spam lately though that I'm limiting to registered users for a bit to see if that works... If you're a friend, you can find me on Facebook and comment that way if you have trouble.
