As February looms, Can I have a roll call of peeps that are interested in joining in with this challenge.
The Sewing Place's 2019 Project Linus Quilt ChallengeProject Linus have an excellent website
which tells you everything you need to know but basically we are looking to
make and donate quilts in one of these three sizes ....
Lap quilt – 36″ square
Cot quilt – 47″ x 55″
Single bed quilt – 55″ x 79″
Project Linus have suggested that participants use only Red, Yellow and Blue in their quilts this year,
but I think this might be a lil OTT all together ... but you may choose to prove me wrong !!!
To give a sense of uniformity for
The Sewing Place's Quilts, I suggest
we each make a quilt in one of these colours,
Red,
Blue or
Yellowin as few or as many shades as you wish ...
plus a
neutral colour of Black, White, Ivory, Grey, Beige etc.
You choose the size, colours, pattern, design and technique used.
The color for the binding is your choice too;
It could be your chosen neutral background, your chosen colour or Black,
which would frame and emphasise your lovely bold colour choice.
Please submit at least 3 posts within this thread relating to your progress ...
you can reveal as much or as lil as you wish!
The Gals at Project Linus will remove any labels to ensure complete anonymity,
so lets save them the trouble ... No labels please!
Send Pics of your finished quilt to me at
iminei@thesewingplace.org.uk before the 25th of July and we will have an anonymous vote for the Best Quilt with the winner receiving an exclusive The Sewing Place Prize Winners badge.
The Festival of Quilts is on early this year, running from the
1st August until the
4th August,
please make a note of this change in your diary.
I'm hoping we can meet around midday at the Festival Of Quilts on the Thursday
and take them en masse to the Project Linus stand in the early afternoon as we did last year.
If you cant get to FOQ this year, don't worry if you can
get your quilt to me before Thursday 25th July I will be more than happy to take it up!
This gives you almost
SIX months to make your quilt.
That's it (I think) So Sign up here ......
