Mary Beth Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just wondering....how are they coming along? I have received some great items to offer up as prizes to the winners. You need to keep focused and get those quilts done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Mmmmm does it count if you bought a boat load of stencils? LOL that is about as far as I've gotten. Now I just need some time to design. I'm going to the Vermont Quilt Fetival on Sat. and the Stencil Co. will be there...they may have a few I don't have yet :P:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Here is the low down on the throw down... ….here is the lowdown…. 1.You may use the stencil of your choice. Premade or homemade. 2. You must use only one stencil. 3. You may use the stencil as many times on your quilt as you would like. 4. You must get as many design elements from this one stencil as you possibly can. 5. When posting the pictures of your entry, you will need to include the following information: 6. A picture of the stencil along with the name of the stencil, the size, and where you purchased it. If you made the stencil, tell us how you made it; how or where you came up with the design. If this is a “designer” stencil, we need the name, ie Judy Allen, Pepper Cory, Barbara Chainey, etc. 7. More than one picture of your quilt. Suggestion, Overall Blocks Borders 8. Tell us how you marked the quilt. Here are a few examples: Brand of marking pen Pounce pad Sponge paint applicator Miracle Chalk Regular Chalk Blacklight Chalk Blacklight pencil 9. Who does the quilt belong to? You or a customer. 10. Quilt measurements. 11. How long did it take you to quilt the quilt? 12. Explain in detail your choice of quilting elements. Why did you choose this stencil? How many different ways were you able to use the same stencil. What other design elements did you add? Examples, Stipple Crosshatch McTavishing Piano key The deadline for quilt entries will be August 1, 2010. There will be two catagories Bed quilts Wall quilts Prizes will be awarded. Now, the prizes may not be like a new car, but more like a quilting gadget or goodie. Not a huge gift, because after all….it may only be coming from me. However, you will have a file of wonderful quilting designs, ideas, and inspiration to help you in your own quilting.

JustSewSimple Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Could there be a category for people who have never used a stencil successfully? That would be the one I'd fall into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Mary Beth - well it was a start! OK the quilt I'm working on next for a customer will have a stencil but I don't think it will be anything inovative at all, just plop down that stencil and stitch. I guess I'll have to get serious about a wall hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Mary Beth, LOL you made me late for work! I got to thinking about another stencil that I had gotten a secondary design out of and thought it might work for this customer quilt instead. I went down to my studio to find it and do a quilt draft before heading out the door for work! LOL I'm so easily distracted and thank goodness I don't have to punch a time clock! Besides I was working before I got to work so they always get their time out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcclannan Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have my quilt top done but I'm waiting for my Bliss to be installed before working on it. Complicating things is my trip to Jordan the last two weeks of July. Oh, I'm stressed! Thanks a lot Mary Beth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
