enter a quilt in the Lovell quilt show the last

taking money for the opportunity raffle quilt; all

Continuous Prairie Points. She demonstrated how to
make them & passed out directions.

2009 Quilt Challenge is "Memory Lane" It is due at the March 2010 meeting, so you have plenty of time to plan. With the March deadline, these will be ready in time to show at the Cody Country Art League Quilt Show in April. The Challenge Committee wants unique quilts for this challenge. No look-a-likes here. You choose your favorite colors. You choose what size quilt you want, from wall hanging to king-size. This quilt will be uniquely yours because it is about you. As you go down "Memory Lane" with your quilt, we all will share the ride and get to know you better. Show and tell will be lots of fun with this one. Below are suggestions only. You are in the driver's seat. So use this as a guide to jog those memories, and start sewing. Use traditional blocks, piecing, appliqué, painting, whole cloth or collage, etc. Printed novelty fabrics will work well here too. This could be done as a block-a-month, if those deadlines tend to sneak up on you. 1. A Star is Born (that's you) 2. When I was young ... 3. My Pets 4. My First ... (kiss, car, job, child) 5. I Lived ... (where, how, for) 6. Best Vacation Ever 7. If I Could Be Anything, I would Be ... (a do-over opportunity) 8. Moving and Grooving (music, dance, U-Haul) 9. My Favorite Things ... (family, chocolate, sewing, garden, etc) 10. The Golden Years (if you are not there yet, make a plan)
Need help with ideas? There is a "Memory Lane" traditional block of the month at: http://www.knoblin.com/bom2009-intro.shtml There is also a great pattern called "All About Me" by Atkinson Designs: atkinsondesigns.com, which uses novelty fabrics.
