Tips and Tutorials Tuesday- The Quilter’s Planner Cover Contest {and Day 2 of the 2016 New Block Hop}

Welcome to Tips and Tutorials Tuesday (please scroll to the bottom to link up and see all the blogging world has to offer this week)!

My team has put together a spectacular contest this week to honor all the creative Quilter’s Planner covers that people have stitched over the last few months. In order to enter, post a picture of your cover on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #quiltersplannercover and tag us @thequiltersplanner. You have until April 8th, 2016 to enter!

The prize for this contest is awesome!!!!

The winner will win a 2017 Quilter’s Planner Starter Kit, this adorable Liberty of London market bag by Life Wear, this sweet bundle of low value fabric from my stash.  And even better, the winner will get a fresh bouquet of flowers from my cousin’s fabulous flower deliver company that’s taking the country by storm, called Bloom That. 

If you haven’t made a cover yet, there’s still time!  You can download the free pattern at the Quilter’s Planner website.

The second piece of business today is to remind you that today is Day 2 of the 2016 New Block  Challenge sponsored by Paintbrush Studios. Cheryl from Meadowmist Designs is hosting 11 amazing bloggers today.  Altogether, they will show you 12 original quilt blocks, with complete instructions how to make them. It takes so much time and work to write up tutorials, so I am in awe that we have such a wonderful turnout of dedicated bloggers again this year who were excited to participate. Their talent and enthusiasm is phenomenal.

I will share my block tomorrow, and will host 10 more bloggers.  We are all looking forward to sharing our creations with you!
