Riding The Waves - A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle...or
does it need it

June 2003 Guild Challenge; make a quilt based on a quote and use at least
three different types of embellishments. Since I don't use a lot of
quotes throughout my day, I thought this quilt would be a real challenge.
However, after brainstorming at work, someone came up with this quote and
I got busy. I used 10 different embellishments. They are: personally hand dyed fabric, buttons, beads, 3-d appliqué, trapunto, chenille yarn, couching, hand embroidery, machine embroidery, and shells. Can you find them all? I won four ribbons: 1st place Viewers' Choice; 1st place Best Interpretation of Theme; 3rd place Best use of Embellishments; 3rd place Best Workmanship. |

The So Sew Busy Quilt Guild wanted a way to commemorate our friendship. We had a friendship basket challenge swap. The members made baskets that were first voted on in a challenge and then swapped. Some made the same basket while others made all of their baskets different. Not only did we have fun, be we have beautiful blocks to make into quilts that will remind us that our friends are near and dear. |
1st Place - Debra H. 2nd Place - Teajuana M. 3rd Place - Sarah C.-J.

This quilt actually was made to be in two challenges. Instead of making
two quilts, one for each challenge, I decided to get creative and combine
the two efforts, especially since I have over 76 UFOs that must get
completed. The first challenge is for the SSBGQ challenge due May 28, 2004. The requirements were for a completed quilt made from using two or more sizes of the same block. This quilt won 1st place.
The second challenge was for the Flower Valley Quilt Guild June 2004 challenge - "Cheaper by the Dozen." The quilt has twelve blocks and uses twelve different marble fabrics. This quilt won Best of Show, 1st place for machine quilting, and honorable mention for best interpretation of theme.
Pattern retrieved online from Quick Quilts but was also published in their January 2004 magazine issue. |
I can't wait until the next challenge; check back next year.
