2016 Quilt Challenge

8/9/2016

1 Comment

 
In keeping with our 2016 quilt show theme “Quilting - A Novel Idea” members were invited to unleash their creative energy, using a favorite book as inspiration. The challenge was to create a small quilt depicting some aspect of the book.  The rules were simple:
  1. Quilt must be based on a book of your choosing – any book is fine (Adult or children’s).
  2. Design a quilt that expresses the title, a character, a favorite scene, etc. from the book.
  3. Quilts should be between 72” and 96” perimeter (i.e. 18” x 18”, 20” x 16”, up to 24”x24”).
  4. Include a label on the back with Your Name, The Name of the Quilt, and The Name of the Book that inspired it.
  5. Keep it private!  Don’t share your idea, book title, or quilt with anyone who will be at the August meeting to vote.
  6. Only the front will be displayed for voting.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS AND THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!!!

    Hi I'm Deb, BVQ webmaster and official blog runner! I am a retired Medical Technologist,  having worked the night shift at Chester County Hospital for 30 years. I think I have sewed forever – my mom sewed, my grandmother sewed, and in 1984 I decided to make a "blanket" for my about-to-be baby....it was 3 layers sewn together with a binding!  Little did I know it was a quilt!  I am basically self-taught, but continue to learn as I hang out with BVQ.  My basement work area is seriously quilt cluttered and my better half asks no questions!  I have too many UFO’s and want-to-do’s than I can count, but I guess that makes me a true quilter!
