Welcome to The Joyful Quilter!! And... Welcome to the wonderful world of Project QUILTING hosted by Kim Lapacek @ Persimon Dreams!! This is my 3rd year of participation in the Challenge. Trish Frankland @ QuiltChicken is the creator of the crazy challenges that participants will face during the next 12 weeks.
Sassy @ Farm Quilter got me started at the beginning of Season 11 by inviting her readers to join in the fun. I accepted her invitation and the rest is history. As I have for the past two years, I will be dragging along my friend LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color again this season, as she enjoys having a reason to stretch her creative wings. Would YOU like to join me in this creative journey, too?
BEWARE: It's a wild ride, but oh SEW rewarding!
Challenges are given and start to finish you have ONE WEEK to complete your project. PQ 14.1 can be found at THIS LINK:
PQ14.1 The First One
- Number one could be the winner. The “first” to reach a summit or achieve a position.
- But sometimes one is the loneliest number; a single with no one around.
- And sometimes it’s just math. In any event, let’s carry the one this week!
Tutorial for these baskets can be found HERE. |
RULE ONE: Your project this week must somehow use the theme of “one.”
You have one week to meet the challenge. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline – that is, started on or after January 1, 2022, and posted by noon Central Time January 8, 2022.
Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes.Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
Follow THIS LINK to the Season 14 overview. Check back on the Challenge release days (or sign-up to be notified automatically) and there may be one that YOU just can't resist. I'm pleased to have joined the Link Party with 4 hours remaining until the deadline. Yay, me! :o))
It's a SHORT turnaround time!
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, that doesn't HAVE to be insurmountable. With a little creativity and a few evenings, you really CAN do this! My project was begun shortly after the prompt was announce but was finished with only 36 hours until the deadline. Even so, I will link up with only a few hours to spare. (I just couldn't stay up until midnight in order to join earlier.)
I like your quilt ribbon display, what a perfect backdrop for that ribbon!
