Quilter in Residence 2018 : Prue Wheal
Handbook (complete)
Challenge Theme: make it modern - no side longer than 100cm
Take a traditional, recognisable, block & transform it into a quilt with modern techniques, motifs or specifications. The traditional block must be recognisable in the modern format or reflected in the title of the quilt. (conditions of entry as per other quilt categories)
Art to Wear
A little different this year....the theme is still make it modern however the challenge is to 'up-cycle'! You need to take an existing item - garment, bag, hat, etc and the very first thing you must do is photograph it. Then you need to up-cylce & make it modern. The starting photograph will be required for your entry form and the finished project is what you will display.
Donate a 40 X 60 cms finished but unbound rectangle using a MODERN technique, style, or quilting motif that we will cut into a puzzle piece for QGSA’s Festival of Quilts 2018 – we will gather entries all year but all pieces must be received no later than June 7, 2018. More information here.
