2023 Summer Challenge

 

Each summer members engage in a friendly competition, creating works inspired by a theme. In May a set of guidelines is provided, and at the September meeting we display the quilts and vote for our favorites. The winners receive a modest gift certificate to a local fabric shop.

​

The 2023 challenge is:

​

What’s on your “bucket list?”

 

Do you have a “bucket list” of things you would like to accomplish before you “kick the bucket?”  Have you been wishing about things you would like to do if/when there’s time?   In 2023 we are getting out with renewed spirit and inspiration!

​

You may dream of ~

• travel to a special destination or return to an old one

• a colorful garden

• “forest bathing” in the great outdoors

• more exercise or a new sport

• a new pet

• any new skill—quilting, piecing, cooking, photography, painting​

​

Your design can depict anything that represents an item or items on your bucket list or a dream you would like to fulfill.  You may use any block style, art quilt, applique, pictorial or mixed media.

 

Basic requirements:

• No smaller than 8” x 8” (64 square inches) and not to exceed 24” x 24” (576 square inches).  Any shape is welcome.

• It must have a top, batting, backing and be bound.

• It can be of mixed media as long as it is comprised of a fabric sandwich (two layers of fabric with batting) as well..

• It must be ready to show at our September 12, 2023, meeting.

• Embellishments are encouraged!

​

Bring your quilt to the September 13th meeting by 7:30 PM in an opaque bag with your name pinned to the back of the quilt.
