***DEADLINE EXTENDED – You now have until Tuesday, September 6th at NOON. I just realized that it is a holiday weekend which may make posting your pieces challenging so I’m extending this challenge until Tuesday.*** Our August off season challenge was sent to me from Crystal S of FrivolousNecessity: 
Table Runner in Etchings by 3 Sisters Moda FrivolousNecessity’s Blog FrivolousNecessity’s Etsy Shop Here it goes…
I was actually just “inspired” by a photograph from a mail order catalog for a future quilt idea and thought that might be kind of fun – everyone picks their own “inspiration” ad photo from a magazine and explains how that created the idea. ~Crystal S.
This time – everyone that enters will be put into a drawing to win a pattern of your choice from Crystals shop FrivolousNecessity. Great challenge Crystal! I think we’re going to see some really fun pieces from this!
THE RULES:
- Have FUN! These off season challenges aren’t about winning a prize – they’re about being inspired to create something you may not have in the past.
- Please remember that these projects need to be created during the time frame of the challenge.
- If you need advice/tips/help (or you just want to give us all a sneak peak) with your project as you work on it feel free to post pictures to the flickr group: Project QUILTING WIP: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1430386@N24/
- POST your entries with a description of your creative process, including where you are (ie, I create in Madison, WI) and the size of your project by Sunday, September 4th, 2011, at noon, CDT, to this flickr group – Project QUILTING with KimsCraftyApple: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1401824@N21/ OR email a picture/description of your completed project to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line . (4 weeks to finish the challenge)
- If you do want people to truly critique (the good and the bad) your project please post it to the Flickr Group: Project QUILTING – Critiques
- If you have an idea for an ‘off season’ challenge which includes a miniature feature about you on my blog please email me at {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com}.
What was her inspiration for the quilt? Give us an idea!
I have some great ideas, but I want to know if I am on the right track?
It's a quilt right? #1 rule says Non-quilt quilted items??
mine is actually a photo from the white house black market mailer… but you'll have to wait until I post it… 🙂
Does it have to be a quilt, or a quilted item? Can it be an ad we cut a while ago, or does it have to be an ad found during this challenge time?
meant to say or "can it be a quilted item?"
