Win a Jacquie Gering Quilt!

All quilts pictured here were made by Jacquie Gering.

I am so excited to announce the raffle of  a Jacquie Gering quilt!  Jacquie hardly needs introduction as a leader in the world of moder quilting, where, among many things, she is an amazing quilter, talented author, excpetional teacher, and she currently serves on the Modern Quilt Guild Board of Directors.  But perhaps more important on her bio than all those impressive things is that she is extremely gracious, funny, and kind-hearted, and I am blessed to call her friend.  If you have already met her, you know exactly what I mean and you are nodding your head in agreement as you read this. If you haven't met her yet, please listen to me and go and do so!   You will come away feeling refreshed and inspired.

Last summer while having lunch together in Chicago, Jacquie gave me a stack of quilts to send down to Guatemala for Project Quilt Lemonade.  We thought it would be fun to raffle off one of them for people who have donated a quilt to this charity!

A quilt to beget quilts = a win for one of you and a win for the people of La Limonada!

This is the quilt made by Jacquie Gering being raffled, named Selvage Spools:

(Ignore the Christmas decorations in the background - I snapped this pic awhile ago!)

The quilt measures about 33" x 49" and already has a convenient hanging sleeve :).  It would look super cute hanging in a sewing room and I'm thrilled it is coming to live with one of YOU!
I am so appreciative of all the support from this community of makers in providing quilts for La Limonada.   Thank you!  We are spreading JOY my friends!

So, would you like to win Jacquie's quilt?  Of course you do!   Here are the details:  Any quilt donated for Quilt Lemonade that makes it's way to me by March 31, 2015, will be included in the raffle.  To be included in the drawing, quilts must meet the guidelines for the project, as specified in this post .  Basically, we need new completed quilts of a usable size.  50" x 50" is a general measurement requirement - Of course we will accept larger quilts or slightly smaller as long as they are of usable size.  We want these quilts to be both a thing of beauty and function - something that will bring joy and warmth to those who could use more of both of those things in their life.

And if you don't happen to win, Jacquie has a tutorial on her blog for how to make this cute selvage quilt.  It's perfect for all those fun selvages out there.  Is it me, or are the selvages getting cuter and cuter lately?!  

  

Good news:  If you have already donated a quilt, you are already entered!  

More good news:  Each quilt gets an entry, so you will have as many entries as the number of quilts you have donated.

Now, let's get busy making some quilts for La Limonada!  I'll draw a winner randomly at the end of March.  If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with me.  Let me know when you are ready to mail a quilt and I'll send on the address.

And I'm sending out a  huge THANK YOU!  to Jacquie for sharing her quilts with Quilt Lemonade!  I am grateful.
