The annual challenge inspires creativity and offers winning opportunities. The challenge period runs from September to September. The rules for the current year are as follows:
VFHQ Challenge 2009/2010
Our Challenge this year—as announced in September—is as follows:
Three P’s – Petite, Plaid or Polka Dot
- Use at least two of the three “P’s” (you may use all three!) to make a quilted project.
- Petite is defined as 20” or less on any given side. If petite is NOT chosen as a parameter of the design, then the size of a quilted wall hanging should be no larger than 50" on any given side.
- Plaid or polka dot fabric must be included in at least 25% of the overall design whether used singly or in combination.
- Use any design or pattern, original or commercially available, and any construction technique for your project. You may use components that are appliquéd, pieced, embroidered, cross-stitched, painted, embellished, etc., or a combination thereof.
- You must include with your submission a typed description of your challenge piece (perhaps something intriguing about material, or an interesting occurrence during the process, or a unique aspect of the design, or an unusual technique you used, etc.). Your description should be between 50 to 75 words (no more than 100 words) using 12-point type (or standard typewriter size), on a card or paper no larger than 8½ x 8½. (If you don’t have access to a computer or typewriter, a neatly hand-printed description will be acceptable.)
- Your creation can be any quilted item (including jacket, bag, etc.).
- Your creation should be something made during the coming year (between 10/2009 and 9/2010).
- As usual, one entry per-person will be accepted.
- Completed challenge quilts will be displayed and voted on at the September guild meeting in 2010.
- All questions regarding this challenge should be directed to Judy Snook 610.933-8094 or judyann112@verizon.net
