UFO Challenge
January 2 - May 26, 2015
“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.”
“I’m not buying any new fabric
until I use up what I have.”
Now, we know that last one isn't true. But we won’t tell anyone! :)
No more excuses! 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.
Here’s the deal. Bring in your UFOs anytime during the month of January. 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 yourUFOs in on Saturday, January 10 and you’ll receive 10% off any fabric 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 January.)
Rules
• UFO must be a quilt, wall hanging, purse, or tote bag.
• 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 – quilted and bound.
• No UFO registrations after January 31, 2 015.
UFO Show and Tell Party
On Saturday, June 6 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 June 6, FIVE lucky people will win $100 gift certificates to Cortez Quilt Company. Remember, the more UFOs you finish the greater your chances of winning!
