Pillow Challenge Voting Opens Today
Voting is open for the 2016 Pillow Sewing Challenge!
Thank you to everyone who participated by entering a pillow this year! I love seeing the work of this dynamic group of talented stitchers. I’m thankful I don’t have to choose just one winner.
Each voter will receive FIVE votes. Scroll down to the pillow gallery to vote. Share this post with a friend; everyone is eligible to vote. In addition to the generous prizes offered by sponsors, I decided to also offer a prize bundle, the Hobo Tote Template Package, to one randomly drawn winner.
Pillow Sewing Challenge Guidelines
- Online voting begins March 22, 2016.
- Voting closes on April 3, 2016.
- Elected winners and one randomly drawn winner will be announced April 5, 2016.

I have co-workers trying to vote for me, but since we’re all on the same Network, it won’t let them!!! Bummer…
Becky
My husband was not allowed to vote on any other device in our house. It always showed my votes. This is not right! We tried going through his FB page, his email, nothing worked.
Nancy Zieman
Hi Becky. The votes are associated with your internet provider address. You don’t log in as a user to vote, so the address is the only indicator of “one person voting.” This is the way the link software tool is set up.
Joyce Wilson
I have a problem, I can’t pick just five entries. I want to vote for all of them. What a wealth of creative designs. Good luck to all the entrants.
Sally Clayton
Amazing talent and such vibrant colors! Difficult to choose only five designs. Every entry was a winner!
Marjorie
