Leann over at Persimmon Quilts does a LOT of Quilt of Valor mystery patterns. She tests them on Lori, and a few others in the QOV group and then, once they are tested she releases them to us!! She says that they are not super hard, there are 1/2 square triangles in them, but everyone can do these patterns.
She has launched a new one for this year - the fabric Requirements are up, and the cutting for the first clue. The first clue will be Jan 7th, and the last clue will be February 11th.
A LOT of you have said you are interested in trying to either make or quilt, or a combination of both to be a part of the 12 Quilts of Valor challenge this year.... so .... I have a great giveaway for you!!!
FABRIC to make this mystery!! It requires
Background.......... 2 1/2 yds
Blue....................... 1 1/2 yds
Red....................... 2 yds
and I HAVE it for you!!! You will be a little behind, but hey - the pressure is there to make you work harder right LOL!
Now!! There are strings attached!! I am assuming that you will be making a Quilt of Valot with this fabric, and when you are done, you will either request a destination from the QOVF website, or present it locally.... right?
If you want to enter this drawing - leave a comment ( AND A WAY TO CONTACT YOU) on this post before Sunday January 8th. I will draw a number on the 8th, and will contact you - so I can get the fabric in the mail by Monday. You won't have too much to catch up on that way!!
Tell everyone about it, if there are more that 50 entries - I will find another set of fabric to giveaway!!
This fabric was donated from my stash and not paid for by the QOV Foundation
I'd like to be the first to enter the drawing. Carla Gentry monarch_quilting@roadrunner.com
ReplyDeletewow Alycia! that is awfully generous of you. you never do stop giving do you? If I should be so lucky, you can reach me on facebook -- Denise V. in Aurora, CO
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to enter the drawing; my husband and I are QOV longarmers here in Virginia; I made 3 QOVs last year in addition to the 9 QOVs we quilted for toppers. I'm always looking to add to my QOV stash, and having a "mystery" to do will give me an incentive to keep doing my own, too. You can reach me a kackerso@shentel.net. This is a great thing you are doing. How can I access the mystery site; (maybe I'm just not paying attention). Thanks, Kathy Ackerson
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in on this and will spread the word! @Kathy the mysteries can be found at http://www.persimmonquilts.com/QOVMysteryHomePg.html. She has a lot listed there and I look forward to doing some of the earlier ones as well as this one. It will be my first mystery I have ever done.
ReplyDeleteI am doing both the HMQS challenge and the 12 QOV'S challenge and a little more fabric would help for both, going to do at least this first mystery and try to get some of my group to also do it.J Marie

I love Le Ann's patterns and am currently doing Mystery #2 (which I found all cutout and hiding in the closet). More patriotic fabric is always welcome and thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have the fabric from your stash! Thank you for the offer! I can be found at toodevine4@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI just got my machine home from the shop and it is time to get started on a new QOV...would love to have new fabric to play with.
ReplyDeleteI am longarm quilter for Quilts of Valor and I need and "excuse" to make a quilt from scratch. I am very dedicated to QOV - my husband was in the USAF, my son-in-law is retired USAF and my daughter is a nurse in the USAF with two Iraqi deployments. I have had the privilege of presenting Quilts at RWW in Minneapolis, to veterans at the Tomah VA and a couple of local presentations. I would love to get the fabric and put it to good use.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be the recipient of the BOM Mystery material so that one of the ladies in my QOV group can participate. She has very limited funds and I am usually her "sponsor".
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Cynthia
