12.3 – Virtual Vacation – Challenge 3 of Project QUILTING Season 12

January 31, 2021 by persimondreams 5 Comments

Hello again! It’s your PQ challenge mistress Trish (aka  Quiltchicken) checking in for another week’s adventure!
The first two challenges of Season 12 have been RECORD BREAKING! Do you think we can get 200+ participants for a third week in row!? Let’s go for it – be sure to tell your family and friends to give it a try!
Before I get into the details of the challenge – a little housekeeping. Everything you need to know about how Project QUILTING began can be found on THIS page.
Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a hat/bucket to win one of the amazing prizes from our sponsors!  Be sure to check out THIS post for all the prizes up for grabs this weeks and to thank our awesome sponsors!  Our Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is Maywood Studio!  AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted your name will also be added into the final hat at the completion of the season for an opportunity to win one of the three (1, 2, 3) GRAND PRIZES!  Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!?  Can it get much better?
And this week, it’s TRULY all about adventure – because I’m getting claustrophobic from staying home. Remember when we used to go places? Travel? Let’s visit that time again, even if it’s just in our minds and quilts.

12.3 Virtual Vacation

Are you dreaming of a trip? Or poignantly remembering one from the past? Let’s quilt it out this week. Whether you’re a camper or a jet-setter, a perfectionist with an itinerary or a free-spirit that follows the wind – I want to see it in your quilts this week.
Sew a scene from your dreams, whip up a “wish you were here” postcard, make a project with colors inspired by a sunset with your sweetie, or build a bag to pack for your next adventure – the project is your choice, and you can take it any direction you wish. But somehow tie your project to the vacation you’re not on.

Rule 1:

Project must be inspired by the theme of vacation.

Rule 2:

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 31, 2021, and posted by noon Central February 7th, 2021. Please only link up ONE completed project. It’s awesome if you make more than one but choose just ONE to link up below.

Rule 3:

Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes.

Rule 4:

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.

Rule 5:

Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.

Rule 6:

To qualify to win prizes, link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, February 7th at noon CST (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.  This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help  you. Please only link up ONE time!
  • Alternately, by 11:45 am on Sunday, February 7th you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard@gmail.com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is earlier because it requires more work for Kim.

Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Don’t forget to post progress pictures because that’s part of the fun.

SOCIAL MEDIA LINKING:

  • Posting on social media doesn’t mean you’re linked up to this post. You MUST LINK UP to this blog post below to be eligible to win a prize.
