‘The Fabrics Challenge’ for the Exhibition:
- Those entering will be given two fat quarters of fabric (donated by Neil).
- You will be required to make an item using at least some of both the supplied fabrics.
- You may include any other fabric of your choice and any embellishments.
- Items must be quilted with the usual front, wadding and backing.
- The item is your choice and can be quilts, cushions, bags, wall hangings, art quilts, toys etc. It is up to your imagination.
- This will be a challenge judged on artistic merit and innovative use of the supplied fabric, rather than strict quilt judging rules.
- Please consider how your item will be displayed.
- Entry is free.
- Challenge has been set by Neil Jackson.
