Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Time To Post Your American Honor Contest Entry
Happy Monday Everyone,
I know that this is really supposed to be my blog just for Studioe Fabrics stuff, but since I am the president of Studioe Fabrics and The Blank Quilting Corp., I sometimes need to blur those lines and mix things up. Who is kidding who? This is my blog and I can do as I wish, right? If you have a problem with that, you can start your own blog and write something unique and special every single week for the rest of your life. How do you really feel Scott (lol)? I digress. Anyway, I feel that this is an important message for all as this is for such a great cause and everyone could have some fun at the same time.
In any case, last year The Blank Quilting Corp. came out with a line called American Honor by Tana Mueller of Western Denim & Dirt. The American Honor line evoked a lot of emotions pertaining to American Soldiers who lost their lives protecting this great country. With those emotions came the idea of creating a contest using the American Honor fabric line. Here is a link to the American Honor line in case you haven’t seen it. It is really something else in that it really hits home.
So, what I am here to tell you today, and for the whole month of March, is that the time has finally come for all entrants to start posting their projects on the contest landing page. As of the first week of March, we have not yet received one submission… WAAHHH! I am sure that everyone is putting the finishing touches on their masterpieces as they want to put their best foot forward to try and get their hands on one of the great prizes that are being offered. One special feature of this contest is that not only do top 10 contestants win, but also the top 10 contestants’ shops of choice win too. Go to this link and skip down to the prizes section to see what the winners will get. You could also view all the rules and other info about the contest.
That is my message for this week. Keep in mind also that it is only March 6, so there is definitely still time to get out there and buy some American Honor fabric to whip up a quick contest submission before April 1. Speaking of April 1, 2017, that is when the voting will begin. So, even if you did not submit a project, you will still have the opportunity to vote on your favorite project. Please make sure to exercise your right to vote.
Wishing everyone the best of luck! May the best projects win! Thank you for participating and supporting this effort. We greatly appreciate your involvement. We hope you had fun.
Until Next Week,
This is American Honor Scott

Hahahaha! Yes, it is your blog and you can write whatever you want. 🙂
I am patiently waiting for the time that I can get my projects submitted and know that others are getting theirs ready too. I’m positive there are quilts out there that are having their binding being hand stitched right now.
