I can’t believe it’s already time to start thinking about the TWELFTH season of Project QUILTING (and I don’t even want to admit how many tries it took me to spell twelfth properly … must have more coffee!).  Season 12 starts on Sunday, January 3rd, 2021 at Noon Wisconsin Time (aka Central time) which is just over 7 weeks away. My goal right now is to put together an amazing group of sponsor to help motivate folks to make quilts in just ONE week!

About Project QUILTING

Running 12 weeks during January, February, and March, Project QUILTING is a series of online challenges for quilters held on my blog, Persimon Dreams (www.KimLapacek.com). I post a new challenge every two weeks; participants have a week to meet the challenge and link up their final projects to the blog. Then, since it’s a little intense to make a quilt a week, there’s a week off to catch up with life.

Past sponsors have provided gift certificates, patterns, fabric, buttons, postcards, and other fun things which are awarded several ways:

• All completed entries are entered in a random prize drawing after the challenge deadline.

•  At the end of the season, a Grand Prize is drawn. Each completed project is gets an entry, along with a bonus entry awarded to anyone completing the season’s full slate of challenges.
