4 Un Bee lieveable Quilts!!!A Patch of Lakeshore Quilters 2019 Quilt Show April 6 th and 7 th The challenge this show will be an Initial challenge Quilt Show Challenge Quilt Using your initials, choose colors that begin with that letter and a pattern/block name that also starts with one of your name s letters. Here are a couple of examples of how this works using my name, Julie A. Klumpp. J Juniper or J Jade Patten/block Jacob s Ladder A Amethyst or A Apple Green Pattern/Block Attic Window K Kelly Green or K Khaki Patten/block Kings Highway or Kansas Troubles You aren t limited to only those 3 colors, but they should be easily identifiable in your project. We d like your challenge item to be a wall hanging size or smaller so that we can keep them all in one bay at the show. It doesn t have to be a quilt, it could be a purse, table runner, book cover, etc. You decide. Some of us have unusual letters for our initials, so be descriptive with your color names. Why have just BROWN when you can have Espresso, Coffee, or Chocolate. You get the idea. For those of us that use the internet, Spycolor.com provides color names. QuiltingCompany.com/free-quilt-block-patterns-library-from-mccalls-quilting provides free quilt block patterns in alphabetical order and includes instructions. There are many websites to browse for inspiration. Most of us also have books and magazines to explore. When you submit your entry we d like a 2 square of each Initial fabric and the name of your quilt pattern/ block to include in the description. Thank you, Donna Theiss Julie Klumpp Sylvia Windstein Sue Druschke Quilt Show Committee Meeting Notes Charity Booth/Basket Raffle:.The theme of the charity booth will be Pin Cushions to Pillows.
