#HomeMadeChallenge

Challenge Runs: March - September 30, 2020

CLICK HERE for The HomeMade Challenge Participating US & Canada Retailers. 

What Is The Purpose?  

The challenge encourages quilters to pay tribute to what drives the quilter/sewist/maker to create with their hands, through the creation of a 60” x 60” quilt featuring 80% of the new Tula Pink HomeMade fabrics and using Aurifil threads. The jury, including Tula Pink, will select 12 quilts that speak to the glory, attitude and beauty that comes from the privilege of saying “Hey, I made that.” 

The 12 selected quilts will have the chance to be part of the HomeMade Challenge traveling exhibit, and the opportunity to win over $10,000 in prizes!

How Does It Work?

Quilters can submit up to two pieces to their local US or Canada quilt shop.  The quilt shop will then select one entrant/quilter to submit to the jury.
