Vignette Designers will bring together 'stuff' (site decor) to give their Vignette theme 'definition' and 'atmosphere'! Vignette Designers will set up their Vignettes on Quilt Show Set-Up Day--Thursday, June 2nd. Each Vignette Designer will be given approximately 20 quilts to display within their Vignette space.
And for everyone else who is NOT a Vignette Designer...it's your job to print off the Quilt Entry form, and look at every quilt in your house to see if it will fit into one of the seven above listed Vignette themes. Quilts hung in Vignettes may have hung in any previous Quilt Show in the area in the past. Quilts hung in Vignettes will not necessarily be shown in-full. They may be folded or draped, and only partially visible. The job of a quilt on display in a Vignette is to look cute, or stunning, or smashing, or adorable--but not necessarily to be on display in full view.
Note to TBQ Past Presidents: There will NOT be a special display of Past Presidents' quilts this year...so get your President's quilt into a Vignette!
Completed Quilt Entry forms (with pictures) are due to Kathleen Bond by May 1st. Quilts hung in Vignettes must go through the same check-in and check-out process as new quilts! The last thing we want to do is misplace a quilt!!! (Is your 4 year old quilt any less valuable than the one you just finished? We think not!)
So that, dear TBQ'ers, is your assignment! Now get busy and get Quilt Entry forms filled out! And with all these Vignette opportunities, surely you can find at least FIVE quilts to enter in this year's Quilt Show It's going to be yet another G-R-E-A-T one!
Muslin backed block instructions
Directions: 1) Lay first strip down face up with one side on the drawn line. (Make sure fabric strip covering the corners is wide enough to prevent a seam on the corners). Lay another strip down on top of first strip with wrong side up (right sides of strips face each other; strips are lined up along the drawn line). Sew ¼ inch seam. Flip the top strip open and press. 2) Continue adding strips to both sides of the first strip as described in step 1 until the 10 inch muslin square is covered. 3) Bring blocks back to TBQ. Creative Threads mini-group will do final trimming. We are still taking red and white blocks made from the Paths and Stiles pattern from Quilters Cache website. Here is the link: http://www.quilterscache.com/P/PathsandStilesBlock.html It's a 9 1/2 inch block that can be made from scrap whites and reds. Look for the Ugly bucket and add your donations. Thanks for your contributions! If obtaining items from our storage unit, please be sure to fill in the sheet on the clipboard noting what you are borrowing and the date you take and bring it back.
