Tula Pink "HomeMade" Challenge
Posted by Angie Lamoree on
It's no surprise that we love Tula Pink! What better way to get to know the upcoming line from Tula Pink than to participate in the Tula Pink “HomeMade” Challenge, sponsored by FreeSpirit Fabrics and Aurifil.
One quilt from 5 Little Monkeys will be submitted and juried by Tula Pink herself for the chance to hang as part of the HomeMade Challenge exhibit at the Fall International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston, TX in October 2020!
The concept:
The challenge encourages quilters to pay tribute to what drives the quilter/sewist/maker to create with their hands, through the creation of a 60” x 60” quilt featuring 80% of the new Tula Pink HomeMade fabrics and using Aurifil threads. Tula and her panel of experts will jury submitted quilts that speak to the glory, attitude and beauty that comes from the privilege of saying “Hey, I made that.”
One first place winner will earn a prize package of over $10,000 including a BERNINA 570QE Special Edition by Tula Pink sewing machine, Tula Pink Fabric from FreeSpirit, an assortment of sanctioned Tula Pink Aurifil thread collections and other related sewing and quilting products. One Viewer’s Choice, selected via social media, will win a package of sewing related items valued at over $1,200, and one Honorable Mention winner will receive a prize package valued at over $1,000. All winners will receive a quilt show ribbon!
The challenge runs from March – June 30, 2020. Fabrics will be available in March, so keep an eye on your newsletter and our social media - we'll post some pics as soon as we get them in! We will also have Tula Pink’s Aurifil thread collections and newly released notions with this line.
