By quiltshome ⋅ February 16, 2007 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

Cloth Paper Scissors® has announced two separate challenges, and the winners will have their work exhibited at two special Make it University!â„¢ reader art exhibits at the International Quilt Festival/Spring in Chicago 13-15 April. Both deadlines are 13 March. Visit the site for many, many more details than I’ve given below:

Challenge 1: It’s Home Grown! Make a mixed-media accordion-style book that is inspired by your local surroundings. Perhaps you’re like fiber artist Jean Littlejohn who finds great inspiration from cracks in pavement and manhole covers to create her grid series. Or maybe you take walks at your local arboretum and you want to capture the beauty of all that foliage. Whatever your local inspiration may be, we hope you’ll capture it in a mixed-media accordion-style book for prominent display in Chicago.

Challenge 2: Flower Power: The Paper Quilt Challenge Make a mixed-media paper quilt that incorporates a floral theme. The quilt must be backed with fabric and the edges must be stitched closed, or you may use a fabric binding. The entire quilt, including binding, must measure 12″ x 12″ and must weigh no more than 2 pounds.
