THE 2024 CHRISTMAS QUILT CONTEST!
In July 2024, we challenged our quilty customers to purchase a 2024 Christmas Quilt Contest quilt kit; with this kit, they were to make a Christmas quilt of any size and design. The only condition? They had to incorporate each of the fabrics in their kits into their projects. For months, 32 dedicated quilters pieced, quilted, and finally finished their festive masterpieces. What happened next? You voted for your favorite projects and crowned the 2024 Christmas Quilt Contest champions!
THE CONTEST KITS
AND THE WINNERS ARE...
The winners of the 2024 Christmas Quilt Contest are Joanne Giel and Barbara Porter! *Triumphant music plays*
Joanne collects nutcrackers, so she wanted her Christmas quilt to feature the beloved figurine in one way or another. After seeing a wooden nutcracker statue at Hobby Lobby, she knew exactly what she would do for her contest project. She meticulously traced the wooden statue’s features and transferred them to fabric, appliquéd and custom-quilted these pieces onto a nutcracker-filled background fabric, and, as a finishing touch, embellished the design with 3D yo-yos for a bit of flair. At last, her nutcracker quilt was finished! It earned her the top spot in the “Best Original Pattern” category!
Barbara’s quilt was a star, winning not one but two categories. Her use of foundation paper-piecing was excellent, and that’s why she took home the prize in the “Best Use Of Techniques” category! The party doesn’t end there, though; Barbara made the beautiful and intricate Ribbon Curls pattern and added it to the back of her project. You all loved this reversible element so much that you crowned it as the ultimate Christmas quilt in the “Best Overall” category! #Legendary
Congratulations, Joanne and Barbara! *Places crowns on their heads*
