Cary Quilting Company's 2023 UFO Club
It's our 9th annual UFO (UnFinished Objects) Club!
We all have unfinished quilt projects, started with the best of intentions.
Wouldn't it be great to finish them up this year?
Who:
Anyone who has quilt projects in need of finishing
What:
Our FREE club that gives you a 10% discount (online and in the shop) on everything needed to finish up to ten unfinished quilts. The three quilters with the most points earned for finishing projects also win one of three Cary Quilting gift cards valued at $100, $75, or $50! (No purchase is necessary to win; winning is based on earning points for finishing projects)
When:
January 1st through March 31st
Where:
You can be a club member from anywhere! Every club member will recieve their own online discount code to purchase items for completing registered projects, and local club members can get a membership card for in-shop discounts.
Why:
Because we want to motivate you finish up your unfinished projects!
How it works:
1. Register your projects - registration closes on 1/31/23!
During January, register up to ten unfinished projects online. You'll need a free Google account to join the club, as you'll be asked to upload photos of your UFOs on the Google-based registration form.
Click HERE to register your projects.
2. Sew and Quilt!
From the time you register through March 31st, your job is to sew and quilt! You earn points along the way for each step of the project that you complete, from sewing blocks together to adding the all-important label to your quilt.
We would be honored to assist you with the quilting and binding. You will enjoy the discounts for quilting and binding with our longarm team, even if it's not completed by the end of March, if you've submitted a registered quilt to the CQC longarm team by March 31st.
3. Show us your progress
Send photos of your progress anytime to julianne@caryquilting.com.
At the end of March, whether you've finished everything you entered or not, be sure to send photos showing your progress, and Julianne will tally your points for the big prizes!
You may also show and tell in the shop: just ask a shop staff member to take photos of your progress and send them to Julianne with your name so you get your credit.

The Details
- "Big UFOs" are 3600 square inches or larger, and "Little UFOs" are 200 - 3599 square inches.
- Projects are considered UFOs if the project was started before registration, which is January 1 - 31. "Started" means that the first cuts into the fabric have been made. Untouched kits in the closet don't count! You may have a quilt that just needs binding and a label, or even just a label - those count too!
- Each person is limited to 10 registered UFOs per year.
- Only quilts qualify as UFO projects. Bags, pillows, rugs, etc. don't count for this club, though they are lovely to create and to finish!
- Your discounts are only to be used for items needed to complete registered projects from Jan 1 - March 31 of the current year. If you submit a registered project to our Longarm Team by 3/31, you can still receive your quilting discount, even if it's not finished by 4/1. If we find that you're abusing your discount, you sadly won't be allowed to participate in the club again and your online discount code will be revoked.
- No purchase is necessary to be a part of the UFO club or to win.
