Meet Your Contest Hostess!

Hello treasured friends and welcome to a brand new Fall into Christmas Crochet Contest!

For those of you, who don't know me, I'm Rebeckah, the designer behind Rebeckah's Treasures. I love designing crochet patterns that will make treasured heirloom gifts for family and friends.

I absolutely love seeing your creativity, whether it's something you designed or were inspired to crochet from a pattern. That's why, last year, I decided the best way to celebrate my November birth month would be though an awesome crochet contest with a multitude fantabulous prizes!

Fall into Christmas got it's name because this contest starts in the late fall and brings us straight through to the week before Christmas. I thought it was a fun play-on-words, don't you agree?

Continue reading below to see how this crochet contest will work, learn a bit about the prizes I will be offering, meet my designer friends who are contributing prizes, and submit your projects today!

How will this contest work?

This crochet contest will run over the course of 7 weeks, from today (October 30th) until Monday, December 19th, and will be broken down into two segments.

The first segment is for your submissions. It starts NOW and will last for 5 weeks, ending on Sunday, December 4th. This is when you get to submit your favourite THREE (3) crochet projects made in the last year as an entry or entries for this year's contest. Everything you've crocheted since November 2015 until now qualifies for this year's contest!

The second segment is for the peer voting portion, which will last for 2 weeks, starting on Monday, December 5th and lasting though to the 19th. This is when you, your peers, family and friends will get to vote for your/their favourite entries each day. More entries = more votes per day!!!

Finally, the votes will be tallied and all the winners (5 minimum) will be announced on Wednesday, December 21st - with prizes being sent out just in time for Christmas! How exciting, right?

I will be giving away mega prize packages including freebies of my premium crochet patterns, discounts to my shops, which winners can redeem right away and/or save for new pattern releases!

How many winners there are, and each prize package will be determined by how many entrants we receive in each category. The official prize packages will be announced when voting begins.

Additionally, each entrant will receive a special Christmas surprise for their participation in the contest from my shop. The more entries you submit, the bigger your Christmas surprise will be!

I feel blessed to have almost all of my designer friends from last year's Fall into Christmas contest back this year.

Sadly, my dear friend, Deborah from Design's From Grammy's Heart, is unable to join us again this year as she passed away in the Spring.

I would like to take a moment to remember her beautiful soul and the wonderful contributions she made to our crochet world...

She touched my heart with her kindness. She will always be remembered.

Are you a crochet blogger, designer, fiber artist? Join my friends and me in celebrating my birthday and our fans by sponsoring a bonus prize to the winner(s)! Contact me to learn more here...

Treasured Designs are projects made using one of Rebeckah's Treasures' crochet patterns!

Select this category, during your submission, if your project was crocheted from one of my patterns.

Inspired Designs are projects made using ANY other designer's crochet patterns!

Select this category, during your submission, if your project was crocheted from a pattern.

Unique Designs are projects crocheted from your own imagination!
