    Giveaway Week 31 Aug 21st - 28th

    Congratulations to SarahPlainandTall! You just won 1000 Quilters Cash Points!

    Quilting is full of challenges and triumphs! But I love getting to have such wonderful treasures in the end! Sometimes the trouble is that we love them so much we don't use them!

    So, question of the week... Are you a quilt user or stacker?
    Do your quilts get cuddled and picnic-ed on and washed and worn, or do the stack in beautiful piles of color that never move other than when the decor changes?

    To enter the game just hit the reply to thread button at the top or bottom of this page and answer the question! You only get one entry per contest round. A winner will be chosen by random selection in about a week to win our next 1000 Quilters Cash Points!
    Then watch your private messages cause I might be sending one your way!
    To stitch or not to stitch... There is no question.

        Both....the really intricate/expensive quilts to make get stacked; my scrappy quilts are the ones that get used the most!

          Both! I have way more quilts than I do beds or couch backs or chairs, etc. so some are always stacked.

            Use. No stacking yet, but if I keep quilting, it may come to that ....

                  I use the heck outta them, and give them to others who will use them. They are meant to be loved and cuddled and slept with, not hung up just to look at.

                      Both, most are used and abused, washed and dried and loved again.

                        Ours are used. I stack the wall hangings and rotate them.

                            Quilts, like books, should be used and worn! There are cases where they should be stacked when they are treasured and worn. But mostly used.

                            I made my sister a quilt. One day, when I went to visit, she apologized for the stain she couldn't get out. It was cough syrup. Her kids were fighting over who got to use the quilt because they were both sick. They thought since it was made by their Aunt, it had more healing powers. So they were fighting over the quilt and spilled the cough syrup. That's the best stain ever!
                            One yard of fabric, like one cookie, is never enough!

                              We use our quilts unless it it a wall hanging!
