Wish Upon a Quilt Blog

We had such fun on July 25th revealing our first ever Mystery Quilt. We used  a Debbie Caffery  mystery quilt program.  All of the quilts were gorgeous and all of the participants had fun making them. We would like to give a viewer’s choice award to one of these lucky mystery quilters. Click on the image of each quilt to get a better view. Cast your vote by leaving a comment and we will also select a random winner of all comments left on August 5th. The comments winner will get a FREE pattern for the Mystery quilt and a suprise gift!

Thanks for all of the great comments on our holiday quilts, we appreciate the feedback!

Drum roll please…..the winning quilt is…..FIGGY PUDDING by Moda pieced by Holly Cox, quilting by Three Bears Quilting.

And the winning entry is #89, Larinda from Tampa Bay. Larinda’s choice was the Sizzlin Sixties Table Topper, so she will receive a 1/2 yard cut of Majestic Yule.

We had a such a great time last Saturday at our first Christmas in July event. Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of our event. We appreciate it very much!

 Santa has delivered some great fabric and the Wish staff did a fabulous job on finishing their holiday quilts before the event!  To continue the fun, we would like to know which quilt is your favorite? Post a comment to let us know and we will draw a winner for a 1/2 yard of fabric from your favorite quilt on Monday, July 20th. The Wish employee that made the winning quilt will get a special gift from me as well as bragging rights until next year’s event.
