Since the Vagabonds finished their whisper challenge series, it was time to select the 2019 challenge. Here we are at a retreat in January.
Several ideas were discussed and the one we landed on was to take a brown paper lunch bag, fill it with scraps of fabric and other fiber, fold it over 1" and staple it shut. In the February meeting, we put all the bags into a pile and drew names. The first person chose a bag from the pile, and so on. (We put our names on the bottom of the bags so that we knew not to pick our own.)
Once we got the bag home, we had to empty it and take a picture of what was in the bag. Each person had to use a recognizable amount of the all of the contents of the bag on the front of their quilt. Finished quilts can't be larger than 180" perimeter, and can use any technique. Painting and over dying are allowed. Due date is the second Thursday of January 2020, just when we will have our art exhibit and sale at the Second Story Gallery in Camas. Here's what I got in my bag:
I can't wait to start!
