UFO Challenge
July 14 - October 19, 2018
“I have so many projects to finish.”
“I can’t start anything new until I finish something.”
“You would not believe how many projects are sitting in my sewing room.”
By request... we have had several people ask us to have a summer UFO Challenge, as they love to quilt when it is too hot to do anything outside in the afternoon. (We have also had some of our "Snowbirds" with this same request).
Now you have a great reason to work on your UFOs. For the uninitiated or compulsively organized, UFO means unfinished object. Also known as PhDs . . . projects half done. Those of you furiously working on projects for the quilt show - these will count for you!
Here’s the deal. Bring in your UFOs anytime during the month of July. We will register each one and log them into your personal page in our special UFO Challenge binder. Then, get busy sewing! (Remember . . . any day we’re not having class or special event you are welcome to come to the shop to work on your projects.) Each time you finish a UFO, bring it back to the shop. We will mark it complete and you will be entered to win great prizes (see below). The more UFOs you finish the more chances you have to win.
Special UFO Registration Day
Bring your UFOs in on Saturday, July 14 and you’ll receive 10% off any fabric or batting you purchase that day that you’ll be using to complete any/all of your UFOs. (You may bring your UFOs in for registration any day during July)
Rules
• UFO must be a quilt, wall hanging, table runner, purse, or tote bag. It can also be a garment.
• UFO must be started (i.e., fabric and pattern in a bag or a kit you haven’t begun won’t qualify).
• UFO must require at least one hour of work to complete (e.g., six inches left to bind won’t qualify).
• A completed UFO is really complete.
• No UFO registrations after July 31, 2018.
UFO Show and Tell Party
On Saturday, October 20th from 9–10 a.m. we’ll have a special UFO Show and Tell Party with coffee and a light breakfast. Bring everything you completed during the Challenge and claim your bragging rights. We’ll draw for the prizes during this party, but you don’t have to be present to win.
Prizes
When we draw names from all the entries on October 20, FIVE lucky people will win $100 gift certificates to Cortez Quilt Company and More. Remember, the more UFOs you finish the greater your chances of winning!
