14.4 – A Novel Project – Challenge 4 of Project QUILTING Season 14

February 12, 2023 by persimondreams 4 Comments

Hi it’s Trish, and I can’t believe we’re alreaday halfway through season 14 of Project QUILTING! I’m excited to keep this fun going!

Side Note about Prizes! Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a random drawing 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 Aurifil. AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted your name will also be added into the final drawing at the completion of the season for an opportunity to win the GRAND PRIZE!  Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!?  Can it get much better?
We also have support sponsors that I’d like to take a moment to give a quick shout out to! They have made monetary donations which helps me with the shipping of the prizes and keeping this website up and running. Thank you to Patchwork Posse and Oliso for the support.

And back to the challenge …

Challenge 14.4 – A Novel Project

Many of you know I’m a former librarian and lifelong reader. At the drop of a hat, I can easily list 50 books I’ve loved in my 50 years so far – and this week, I want you to think about the books you’ve loved.

One of the best things about books is the adventures and journeys you can take – all from the comfort of home. With just your mind and the guidance of a gifted author, you can visit the past (or future!), experience real and imagined locale, love, live, fight and frolic.
This week, I want to see projects inspired by books you’ve read. Childhood favorites or adult book-crushes. It could be a beach read or a heavy tome – you know what you love. But plan a project inspired by books.

 

Rule One: your project must be inspired by a book you’ve read.

Some examples from my personal quilt library:
* Olivia quilt made for Trish Frankland by Shannon Linde (Olivia (#ad) by Ian Falconer)
* Postcard from Krakatoa by Trish Frankland for PQ (The Twenty-One Balloons (#ad) by William Pene du Bois)
* E-reader cover by Trish Frankland (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (#ad) by Douglas Adams)
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 February 12, 2023, and posted by noon Central Time February 19, 2023.

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.
Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.
Link up at the bottom of THIS POST by Sunday, February 19th 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. At this time, if you choose to link up to an instagram or facebook url you will have to manually upload the picture to go with it – look at the section “upload a link” on THIS POST to see how to do this.
  • Alternately, by 11:30 am on Sunday, February 19th you may email a picture and description to {projectquilting@gmail.com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line.

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

SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING

  • Share progress pictures on Facebook, Instagram, and your blog – seeing your process and how you get to the final project is part of the fun!
  • Please use the hashtags #pqSeason14 and/or #projectquilting when posting on social networking sites to help spread the word.
    If you’d like to tag @PerisimonDreams, @QuiltChicken and @GoGoKim on instagram then we’ll for sure see your posts!

    […] This week for Project Quilting, we were tasked with being inspired by a book we have read. When I worked full time as an engineer, I was an avid reader. I would devour books in the evenings as an escape from the stresses of the work day. I have fond memories of long hours spent in a bath soaking in warmth and being lost in the pages of a (good/decent/interesting/exciting/amazing) book. […]

    […] “Nowatorski Projekt” bo tak brzmi wyzwanie, tym razem jest jak dla mnie szalone, ale dzięki niemu zrealizowałam projekt o którym marzyłam długie miesiące. W tym tym tygodniu Trish chce zobaczyć projekty inspirowane książkami, które przeczytałam. Mogą być to książki z dzieciństwa lub książki dla dorosłych. […]
