Pop Up Paperdoll Challenge!

A 2018 CHALLENGE

has been on my mind all summer!

I wasn’t sure when we were going to get it in!

Then, during our Paperdoll Trunk Show at the MSQC Birthday Bash in Hamilton , I enjoyed a visit with Rhonda!!

She, like many of you has participated in the previous challenges, supported my efforts on social media and followed us faithfully.

It was a wonderful surprise!

And it was great to meet her in person and share. Thank you Rhonda.

We talked about doing another Post Card Challenge and exchange as we did for Valentines ’15 and still getting it in for this year.

However, I’m thinking . . . we’ll hold that thought for 2019 due to time, and I just may have the perfect NEW collection for a card challenge.

So, just this week,

I started working on an idea that I had for using the Paperdoll (main) Panel. A Needle Book Apron! I liked it so much then thought, ah ha

C H A L L E N G E ! ? ! ! !

At first, I thought Needle Book Apron Challenge? Sounds fun but did we want to limit it to aprons? Then it came to me,

PAPERDOLL

NEEDLE BOOK CHALLENGE

just popped up!

And, whatever that title conjures up in your maker’s mind is OK.

Your project can be an apron, or anything you dream up following a few simple rules:

• You must use one of the J Wecker Frisch Paperdoll Panels from Riley Blake Designs, either the main or patch panels.

• Additional fabrics must be from the Paperdoll collection or any Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cottons Basics.

• You must complete project and send photos (janet@greatjoystudio.com) before Fall Quilt Market. We’ll set an October 27th deadline.

• You must share on all (or any you have) of your social media platforms, Blogs, Facebook and Instagram using #needlebookchallenge

• You must follow us and Riley Blake Designs also on social media channels.

Oh, and did I mention PRIZES!?!!!

30 Blocks In 30 Days – Day 7

 

W E L C O M E

to DAY 7 of the

Quilt A Long and Blog Hop!

hosted by Carla from Creatin’ In the Sticks

A super easy block she calls ‘Stripper’ was offered and I decided that we could take it on.

Only two problems . .

1 – We/I have never pieced a block before or made a quilt project . . . and

2 – Our schedule is completely FULL as always with designing fabric, and another She Who Sews LANG calendar!!

So, I apologize ahead for not having a completed traditional project using this great block.

You can see Carla’s tutorial for #7 on her blog.

OK here goes.

This is our/my, first pieced quilt block ever. It’s true.

Actually we made two, just in case. Jackie cut and I stamped, inked and stitched.

Our minimal one block project will commemorate the event as a quilted wall piece to be framed and hung in the Joy Studio!

A reminder that it’s never too late to learn how to piece or quilt!!

Since we are waiting for our new fabric, “Paperdoll”

we used our partner Riley Blake Designs, Confetti Cottons in black and white and Aurifil thread for piecing.

 

 

I know it’s not much and I would love a quilt made using this block with each one turned and well, you never know. Maybe we/I keep piecing, right?

We had a lot of fun trying this and enjoyed the encouragement to participate.

Let us know how we did.

Carla was greatly instrumental in the only other blog hop I have ever participated in, the

2013 She Who Sews Sewing Room Hop!

THANK YOU again Carla!

BTW – Ask your favorite quilt shop to check out our new collection PAPERDOLL with Riley Blake at the

Spring, International Quilt Market in Portland May 18-20.

Delivers in August!
