Winner of Mini Charms

Meet Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks, the winner of the public vote in the last challenge of Project Quilting.  The challenge theme was Hooray for Spring!  I think she did an admirable job of representing the joy of the season with her quilt entitled Preparing the Nest.

Carla won a mini bundle of Simple Marks Summer Mini Charms from Malka Dubrawsky from my shop.

Congratulations Carla, and thank you Kim from Persimon Dreams for another great Project Quilting Season.

A close up of "La La" as this quilt came to be known

Read the funny story of how this quilter rescuing a jelly roll from a Big Lots store, and how La La (as the quilt came to be known), refused to be a square in a square.

The certificate was awarded by random drawing.  You can be part of the fun, and enter to win some fabulous prizes by joining the next Project Quilting challenge.

Another exciting season of Project Quilting is about to begin.  This season is different in that prizes will be awarded by random drawing from among the participants in each week's challenge.  And what a fabulous group of prizes there are!  I am happy to again be one of the sponsors of this fun challenge.

 

So get your sewing machines tuned, and your designing skills honed for this new adventure - beginning Sunday, January 8th!

The Non Quilt Challenge Results

KimsCraftyApple, who hosts Project Quilting, runs off season challenges as well.  I had the honor (and fun) of deciding on the July's challenge, which was a Non-Quilt Quilt challenge.  The entries could be anything from a bag, to a sculpture, to a wearable, anything really, as long as it was made of fabric, and was three dimensional (not flat like a quilt).  The entry also had to incorporate at least two items or textures that were not fabric.  To sweeten the challenge, I offered a fat quarter bundle of fabrics to a randomly chosen participant.

Here were the entries for the challenge:

(You may recognize the stocking )

I especially like the diaper cover that Kim made.  To see the entries up close, read about their creative process, and find out who won the fat quarter bundle, check out Kim's blog post.
