"Best of Show" exhibitReceiving a "Best of Show" award is a fantastic achievement and MMQS would love for you to share that special moment again. Join us for the "Best of Show" Exhibit! Application are available for any quilter who has won a "Best of Show - Machine Quilted" at any quilt show. Enter to today! All entries must be postmarked by June 15, 2010. "Pass It On" exhibit
This challenge is about following creativity through two groups of six quilters, along the lines of a grade-schooler whispering a sentence in the ear of a classmate, who then whispers to another, then another, until the final student repeats the sentence out load (and it rarely resembles the original sentence!). We start with a photograph chosen by the two Group Leaders. Each group used the same photograph as the starting point. The Leader interprets the photo into a quilt. The Leader then sends that quilt to the second person in their group, but does NOT share the original photo. The second quilter interprets the first quilt and creates her oun design. The second quilt is then "Passed On" to the third person, with no hint of the previous quilt that inspired quilter #2...and so on. by the time the sixth quilter produces a finished quilt, the design travels far from the original photo concept, but it shows the creativity sparked by each of the previous quilters' work. It will be interesting to see the different interpretations from the two groups as well. Call for Quilts The Milwaukee Machine Quilting Show is currently accepting quilt photo entries for a juried and judged quilt show at MMQS. Participants must send digital images or photos of quilts completed on or after January 2007. All entries must be machine quilted. Visit www.mmqshow.com for a complete list of rules, details and entry information. All entries must be postmarked by June 15, 2010.
