P 33 challenge has been extended!

If you haven't dropped off a mini quilt for the page 33 challenge, you are in luck. The members agree "the more, the merrier" and have decided that at any time you want, until we remove them from the wall in January, you can add your entry.

So come on, finish one up and get it over to the Quilt and Sewing Center and hand it in. Bring your 4 FQ entry to our December meeting.

The customers at the shop are voting now, so don't waste any more time!

Here's a little preview of what's up on the wall already.

 And don't forget to get down there and read up on the inspiration which prompted these awesome quilts. You will be as amazed as I was.

Cheers!
Beck

p.33 Challenge Details - the more the merrier, please join in, it's all for fun

1. Grab a magazine (not a quilting one) and go to page 33. Now make a quilt inspired from what you see on that page. 
2. No checking for a good page now, the fun is the surprise on the page. If you get a Depends advertisement…that’s what you got.  It does not have to be a literal interpretation, just use something on the page or the whole page as inspiration. 

Rules/Guidelines:

·    Entry fee: 4 fat quarters

·         Finished quilt size 12 X 12” up to 30x30”; any shape okay.

·         Mixed medium is okay.

·         October 19 meeting : Deadline to turn-in
          - The finished quilt (if you cannot attend the meeting let’s figure something out for you to get it turned in)
          - The magazine page, and
          - A 1 or 2 paragraph summary of your inspiration on the page/story of the quilt

·       
      Quilts will be displayed in the back room at Quilt and Sewing Center and voting will be at the front counter for all customers
    
     We may find an additional location to display quilts such as “arts in the library” or a local show depending on guild interest

·         At the November meeting: announce winners for 3 categories (FQs divided evenly among the winners)

•         Best of show  
•     Best interpretation of a page 
•     What made you giggle?
