Register to Vote in US Midterms 2026 & Maybe Get a Quilt
Once upon a time, I tried to draw art for everyone who told me they registered. This year, I am offering a prize drawing where the prize is a handmade quilt.
To enter the quilt drawing:
Register to vote in the US in time for the 2026 midterms
Make a social media post mentioning that you registered to vote
Send me a message or email (pentapoda at gmail) with a link or screenshot of your post and a way to contact you if you win.
I will enter your name in a drawing for the prize of a throw or baby size quilt, made by me (more details under the cut). My plan is to draw a winner 2 times in 2026, one on June 1 and one November 1. If my schedule allows, I will add a third drawing on September 1.
Here's a few images of quilts I've made (plus one tote bag):
A few additional notes below the cut:
What size are they? Baby quilts will be ~3x3', throw quilts will be somewhere between ~4x4' and ~5x5'. Ish.
Who makes the quilts? Me! Yes, I made all the quilts in the pictures, as well as many others not shown here. I will make the prize quilts, including piecing, free motion quilting, and binding. They are made with a sewing machine. "Free motion quilting" refers to the spiral designs you can see the diamond quilt on the lower left.
What does the winner get to choose? Winner chooses the size (baby, throw, or tote bag) and a color scheme. Requests regarding pattern / design will be considered optional, but I will ask the winner to share some examples of quilts they like.
How long will it take? The quilt will take 2-3 months to make and send post-drawing.
Shipping? I'll pay to ship. If you win, I'll need your address. I won't share this info with anyone except the post office. I will ship anywhere in the continental US.
Are you really doing this or will you flake? Maybe! While I will do my best, I reserve the right to cancel part or all of this plan if my IRL circumstances change. But I've been reliably making quilts since 2020 when it became my pandemic hobby, so fingers crossed.
Winning: If you win, I'll ask for your email address so I can email you to ask for 1) a picture of your voter registration (info can be blacked out, I just want to see that it's got the right date) and 2) your mailing address.
Folks not eligible to vote in the US: if you convince someone else to fulfill the requirements, they can enter and tell me the prize should go to you.
