Sweet Home Quilt Along Giveaway Week 1
Each Friday, throughout the Sweet Home Quilt Along, there’ll be a Giveaway Friday. Maureen Cracknell , Jennifer Jones, and myself are co-hosting this QAL and have coordinated special giveaway prizes with our amazing participating sponsors for each and every week! If you've happened to miss the first Sweet Home QAL post, take a look back and read about it HERE.
We’ll announce what the giveaway prizes are for each week on Friday morning, here on our blogs. The randomly drawn winners will be selected from the growing Instagram hashtag pool the following Monday around 4 pm Eastern with the winner(s) announced on Instagram.
We’re using Instagram as a Sweet Home QAL community share spot where we can follow along and comment on each others quilt progress and share beautiful photos of our work.
Every time you share a post to your public instagram account and use the official #SweetHomeQAL hashtag in your post caption your post (along with your username) are automatically entered into the giveaway hashtag pool! That’s right—it’s as easy as that, just do what you’d do anyway! So, to up your chances, post a lot of of progress shots of your fabric pull, cut pieces, blocks, sashing, assembly, tops, and ultimately, finished quilts.
You may notice I keep saying you need a public Instagram account to be entered into the giveaway drawings. That’s because if you have your IG account set as a private account, Instagram does not add any hashtags to hashtag pools from private accounts—it’s just the way they roll. So, you may want to go into your IG settings and turn your account to public for the QAL or if not, and I totally get the need for privacy in this strange world we live in, just know that you won’t be eligible for the giveaways.

I also want to let you know that during the QAL Jennifer and I plan to have impromptu IGTV live videos to give you tips and tricks for sewing your Sweet Home Quilt. We each had live videos on Wednesday talking about how to select fabrics for your quilt if you’re not using a kit.
Work on gathering your fabrics and cutting out all the pieces so next Wednesday we can start piecing the Log Cabin blocks!
