Howdy!
Anyone else remember when Debs in Ky gave us the Food Quilt challenge?
Wallhangings representing some of our favorite foods, a meal, crops,
veggies, fruit- whatever we wanted, as long as the quilt said "food".
Feed Me is hanging on the wall beside me (had to remove the big pink lips
show/hide quoted text
that were in one corner, so I could stand to live w/ it <g>).
For a fabric exchange: one year we did a picnic theme here on RCTQ.
I chose fast food (Taco Bell) as my buddy's picnic. We were required to
include at least 4 fat quarters (didn't have to look like food, just
represent food; cream for flour tortilla, brown print for fried chicken,
red for tomatoes), and could include smaller pieces to complete the meal
(a little green for the lettuce, a bit of yellow for cheese).
It was a hit.
Cheers!
R/Sandy - at RCTQ we like to eat!

Oh, yeah, I remember that! It was a *long* time ago.
(My free server thing ended up not working out very well (msn kept
blocking the outgoing ports and such) so I'm giving up and using the
google interface. A few messages are better than none!)

I remember this challenge. I still have mine. A wall hhh with
chocolate. Chocolate pie, cake, brownies, hot chocolate etc.
Fun. There used to be pic of some of them through Google, but can't
find it now.

Our Guild once passed out a sort of, well, ugly fabric....it had to be
included in any project...quilt, bag, pillow, etc. It was amazing to see
how well it went with so many colors and patterns! Another time we had to
use the same block in two different sizes in a quilt. Some were very
apparent, and others had the smaller block almost hidden in a border, etc.
This year's challenge resulted from a vote by the members. We voted for our
favorite block, color, and shape. Our quilts will have to include the Log
Cabin, blue, and a star. Those are due in March, so haven't got any ideas
yet!

I saw the Hoffman Challenge at the Rocky Mt Quilt Festival on Sunday. I
thought the fabric was ugly last year when I first saw it and I still
thought it was ugly on Sunday! BUT ... there were some amazingly beautiful
quilts made from it. I liked best the ones that disguised the ugly fabric.
