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.

    I have co-workers trying to vote for me, but since we’re all on the same Network, it won’t let them!!! Bummer…

      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.

    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.

    I really liked the tooth fairy pillow! Also the octopus! All of the pillows were quite nice and looked like they took quite a bit of work to complete. I wish all the best to everyone!

    Amazing talent and such vibrant colors! Difficult to choose only five designs. Every entry was a winner!

    Many talented contestants! I liked more than five pillows. However, as required, I limited myself to five votes. Good luck to all participants!

    Voting was really tough! #50 & #60 are the same pillow

    hmmm, I have selected my 5 pillows, but cannot find any
    ‘submit’ button for them. I have scrolled up and down several times. Is it the ‘submit comment’ button?

  • Jill Hensley

    Hard to choose! Lots of great pillows!

    Many beautiful pillows with talented people behind them. I can appreciate all the time and effort each one put into their project.

    I do think the vote choices allowed should be increased to perhaps 10% of the entries (eg, 100 entries =10 votes). There were so many wonderfully creative pillows, it was difficult to choose just 5!

    Also, I experienced a problem when somehow a vote was cast by me unaware. Another time my finger touched a “heart” unintentionally while scrolling; please consider redesigning voting procedure so a vote can be erased or changed.

    I was blessed to see what so many talented people create. I will be entering next year…!

    You have two that link to the same Etsy shop, so were submitted by the same person. (the black and grey flower pillow and the blue “modern pillow patchwork”) I thought the rules had changed so each person could submit only one entry?
