For the past couple of days I have busy counting votes for the 2nd Annual Crazy Quilt Challenge Contest that I hosted on the HGTV Quilting Forum. 22 ladies sent in their entries and all have been posted to my flicker album : 2nd Annual Crazy Quilt Challenge If you'd like to see some pretty eye candy, please grab a cup of coffee and take a cruise through some creative and talented Crazy Quilt work. Once you are in the Album be sure to click on the pictures for a larger view or just click on "Details" under the title of the Albm (you can then also click to make pictures larger).
Each participant was given the same 5 items in a kit and set free to create whatever theme they wanted to. Only restriction was they had to incorporate the 5 items - 2 pieces of fabric (1 textured white piece and a blue/green swirly piece), a piece of lace trim and a lace motif, green silk ribbon, 2 bird charms and a little "I love you" envelop charm. Each entry is featured with 1 Full Size shot of the block and 2 - close ups. Voting will end for the Board members Friday evening win the winners will be determined. Prize monies will be sent out Saturday.
Prizes:
1st Prize - $100!
2nd Prize - $70
3rd Prize - $50
4th Prize - $30

Well while I'm here I thought you might like to see a couple UTS (Under the Sea) blocks I have created for Lisa in the CQI Group. I am currently involved in two separate UTS RR's and am having a blast embellishing .... just love anything that has to do with the ocean... and of course blue.

Lovely UTS blocks! I'm off to check out those sites.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could use lace in so many different ways. It seems you cut out a suitable piece of lace that reminds you of the shape you are looking for.
ReplyDeleteThe result is beautiful.
