2023 Challenge Quilt
Animals!
The Rules:
1. Fabrics and techniques are your choice.
2. The biggest requirement is that recognizable animals are easily identified in your quilt. By that I mean, you cannot take a piece of fabric with animals on it and chop it up so small that you cannot tell what the animals are, sew it back together and say that you have animals in your quilt. (Unless they are sewn back together in the shape of an animal, of course). They can be domestic, wild or even cartoon animals, but not insects. Bugs are not animals in my opinion. Birds and water dwelling animals are OK.
3. Perimeters should be between 80 and 144 inches. It is OK to go a little bigger or smaller, if you have the perfect entry but it is outside of the parameters. Plus, I won't measure the entries, FYI. Keep in mind that I do know the difference between a bed quilt, a mug rug and a wall hanging without measuring though, so please try not to push the boundaries too much.
4. A 3" x 5" index card attached to the bottom right corner with your NAME and a brief description of your quilt on one side and telephone and/or email address on the other side.
5. 4" sleeve on the back
6. Please supply a dowel for your quilt WITH YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON THE DOWEL.
7. Quilts to be presented and displayed at our October 2023 guild meeting when our members will vote for their favorite.
6. Quilts to be displayed at various locations over the next year, including Charlotte Senior Center, and various local Libraries: Charlotte , Shelburne, South Burlington, Hinesburg, and Williston.
If you have a suggestion of other places to display our quilts, let me know and I will look into them.
Hope to see some wonderful entries this year!
