Hello from VancouverIsland, a new hook and some backing to continue hooking would be a great prize!

Hello from Ontario! Hope there is more than one prize. I would be thrilled to receive some wool or yarn or a kit. Love the lives as you can see how welcoming you and your staff are.
Wendy
I think one of your patterns, or kits would be great!

I think a gift certificate for a lot of yarn…would be awesome because you can never have too much yarn and it never goes bad….Donna

Hi from Thunderbay
I would love love to have a Cheticamp frame as a prize, I would even pay the shipping cost ! I joined up today for the 10 min a day challenge
Lori Denise Parsons
I have a few ideas…
One on one lesson/consultation with Deanne would be great !
Another – 1 year inspiration session membership or 1/2 year of Woolbox or M.A.P.
Mini-shopping spree at the studio would be awesome , along with a hot tea and oatcake!

I think a great prize would be a one of a kind pattern drawn by Deanne!!

Good morning from Ontario.
A surprise wool bag or a kit or a gift certificate would be nice prizes for the 10 minute challenge.
Amanda Hancox
A perfect prize for the 10 Minute a Day challenge??? Next year’s MAP!
Peri McQuay
A dream prize for me would be getting to choose yarn from the store. And I agree that many smaller prizes would be best.
Eileen
Super prize could be the “Out Lorna’s Window “ package with the kit and the classes. As a beginner, I know that would be amazingly helpful! Love this 10 minute a day challenge – thanks for keeping us hooking!!
Judi Rempel
Loved the live as always, although I must say all the walking backwards that Deanne did today was most impressive. I haven’t hooked for the past week as am getting settled in our new place, and I miss it like a pang in my heart (I am not kidding) Deanne, the sincerity and earnestness you put into the message you share with us is a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing. I think a great prize would be a car, but realistically speaking, a Deanne pattern, or a little shopping spree of the studio would be grand!
Peggy Croft
I must comment on how great that colourful top looks on you Deanne. It’s just gorgeous. The 10 minute a day challenge will be wonderful so that folks keep at their projects during the summer. Since the draw is going to happen in September, may I suggest the prize to be a Xmas stocking kit. It would be a great time of year to start it so it would be done to hang for the holidays. Thanks for your energy and wonderful guidance. It’s greatly appreciated.
Terry Turner Mitchell
Wow, what a great Thursday Live! It was a loaded episode and I loved it.
The 10 minutes a day is just what keeps me hooking all summer. Prize idea is fill the bag with small items, yarn, a book.
Valerie Ehrman
You and rug hooking make my heart smile!
I think an amazing grande prize for the 10 Minute A Day Challenge would be an originally designed and kitted pattern by Deanne.
Teri
I’m excited that the 10 minute a day challenge will get me back on track.
A lovely gift would be one of Deanne’s books.
A gift certificate would also be amazing.
Happy hooking!
Sarah C.
Wow, so much info conveyed in today’s LIVE! While I am not a fast/prolific rug hooker, I do try to keep at it. In thinking of a 10-minute challenge gift/prize, I myself (and probably others) would love to receive an original hand drawn pattern by Deanne, customized to the recipient (after a brief email /phone chat to learn their favorite rug style, colors, skill level, etc) ;-)
Carla
10 minutes a day I am away most of the summer
Though I probably hook more then 10 minutes a day when I am home.
Paula Cocco
Hello from Ontario.
One of your bags filled with goodies. A kit to excite someone e eith a new project.
A linen pattern for those who have some of your great wools at y their finger tips.
Paula Cocco
Hello from Ontario. One of your bags filled with a mix of great colors , or one of your kits to entice a hooker to start a new project. Or a linen pattern for those who have a stash of wool at their fingertips.
Kimberlyr A Hirt
A trip to your shop!
Alexandra
A possible prize could be the tote bag filled with wool and yarn and a pattern.
Joanne White
I think a selection of wool and your own choice of a pattern would be amazing. I know I would love that.
Ten minutes a day is perfect maybe I’ll l finally finish that heritage pattern I’ve been working on since pre-Covid. Signing up today:)
Thanks from Vancouver Island
Chris
How about several free shipping offers!
Meg Turner
I hope that there is more than one prize because of so many being in the Challenge…like maybe 10 smaller prizes..I’d be happy with a hook and a couple of balls of yarn..or some mixed material. Or a small pattern. Of course there would be shipping costs for you guys.
Im looking forward to doing the 10 minutes.
Maxine Boss
An awesome prize would be gift certificate so that people can buy what they need.
Judith Lilley
My suggestion for a great prize is a one-on-one consultation with Deanne for a new rug and/or having her critique one of my rugs.
Happy summer to all of you!
Diana Szurgot
A awesome gift would be a hooked rug from you. 10 minutes a day challenge.
Marnie Dunbar
The “Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club “ by Helen Simonson is my recommendation for a good summer read. Listening to it on Libby or Hoopla while hooking 10 min. a day would be lovely also.
Marnie Dunbar
Good morning from B.C. I think that rug frames/framing would be a good prize –
not to mention, of course, a Cheticamp frame!
