10.5–Abecedarius–Challenge 5 of Project QUILTING Season 10

Hello! This is Trish, your resident PQ challenge designer. It’s time for #5 of our 6-challenge Project QUILTING series – which means we’re in the home stretch! But don’t be sad, because I have two fun challenges for you before we’re through.
Before we get to this week’s challenge, a few notes:

• Every week you enter the challenge you are entered to win a prize from our sponsors! Be sure to check out THIS post for all the prizes up for grabs this week and to thank our awesome sponsors!
  Our Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is Hunter’s Design Studio!
• As always, there is an additional prize for the “Viewer’s Choice” winner of the week. AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted you get one additional entry in the final season-ending GRAND PRIZE!
• Let’s not forget we have PQCelebrity – Mister Domestic is joining in the fun!

THE CHALLENGE: PQ 10.5. ABECEDARIUS

When asked, I can concisely describe myself this way: I’m a quilter and a word nerd. Sometimes my vocabulary gets me in trouble (I enjoy using the full width and breadth of it!), and it’s a constant source of amusement for Kim. This week’s challenge is all about that.

The word “abecedarius” means “an alphabet primer.” Literally, the word itself is made up of a+b+c+d! It can refer to a form of poetry where the first letter of each line or verse is the next letter of the alphabet, or it can be a book where each letter is defined (A is for … B is for …).

What a fabulous word! And what a great idea for a quilt.

THE RULES:

1. Your project must be about the alphabet.
2. Projects need to be created during the week of the challenge (started on or after March 3, finished by March 10).
3. Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these three requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
4. Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.
5. Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, March 10 at noon CDT (here’s a link to time zone converter to calculate for Central Standard Time: www.thetimezoneconverter.com)
   • Add to the linky the URL of your project’s blog post, public instagram picture, or public facebook posting
   • Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, March 10 you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes, one hour earlier because it requires work for Kim.

Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Now, back to the basics – A, B, C, D.
