UPDATE! Since it took me far too long to get a proper picture up, I've decided to extend the contest until this Friday (Oct. 17). If you missed it earlier, now's your chance!

So for the past... oh, jeez, over a year... I've been working on a quilt. (Off and on, of course.) A bunch of awesome Threadless people donated tees (see the original blog here) and I got to work!

So now I've got this quilt that's (practically) finished and you could win it!


It's about 80" x 80" of cuddly goodness - definitely large enough for a queen-sized bed, but also lightweight enough to wrap yourself in on the couch.

I want it to go to a Threadless fan, so here's the main part:

- WRITE an original short story, essay, or poem somehow relating to Threadless tees or designs (1000 words max - though it doesn't have to be even that long!)


But to be eligible, you also need to do the following 2 things:

- SUBMIT at least one (1) ELIGIBLE ENTRY to the CALENDAR CONTEST - this entry must be taken especially for the contest (that is, since the contest was announced) and it has to meet all the criteria for the contest. And hey, if you've already submitted an original photo for the contest, you've got this one covered! You don't have to win the calendar contest to be eligible for this, you just need to enter an eligible photo or illustration.

- JOIN the Threadless Product Shots group on Flickr and upload at least one product shot. Like above, if you've already joined and submitted a photo, you're golden on this one.


To enter, email your story/essay/poem to me (ladykat81 [at] gmail [dot] com) by Monday, Oct. 13 Friday, Oct. 17 at 11:59 PST. Also let me know which picture you submitted to the calendar contest and your Flickr username. One entry per person.

The top 1/3 (33% - with a maximum of 10 total) among the stories/essays/poems (from eligible entries) will be entered into a drawing. From that drawing, one winner will be selected to receive the quilt!


Ask me if you have questions. :-)
