So let's see those Spooky Quilts!
(there's plenty of time to whip up one of those cute monster blocks I've been seeing on flickr...)
When adding an entry to the Flickr group, make sure to put the next sequential number before the title of your quilt. (I labeled mine #1 since it is the first entry. The next entry is #2, etc.)
You do NOT need a blog to enter. Just post the quilt photo to Flickr and add it to the group.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I don't have any Halloween quilts or fabric but I can't wait to see the entries.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I can't get your linky to work though :( Is it because I'm using a Mac? Here's the link to a quilt I made last year: http://summeratgrandmashouse.blogspot.com/2009/10/it-really-is-spooktacular.html
ReplyDeleteI think there is a problem at the linky posting site.... it worked fine yesterday when I added mine?? I will contact them for a fix, but in the meantime, I may switch this contest to flickr anyway - may be nuch easier!
ReplyDeleteIs the contest only for quilts made this year? Or can older ones be entered?
ReplyDeleteAll quilts can be entered....it doesn't matter how old they are long as they have a sPoOkY theme!
ReplyDeleteJust the nudge I needed to finish my Halloween Quilt top!! ;-)
