[Oceanwavequilters] Quilting Arts Magazine Reader Challenge - Do you want to participate?

[Sharon Lau]

In the Quilting Arts magazine for October/November 2018 there is a Reader Challenge to make “Heart of the Home” quilts. These are small (14” x 14”) quilts that include a house motif that will be donated to an organization called Furnishing Hope. This 501(c)3, non-denominational organization furnishes homes for transitional families. In cooperation with non-profits throughout California, with military hospitals and with the VA, they have furnished over 350 homes, including over 250 for wounded veterans. This year, they plan to furnish 100 more. (Check out their website at furnishinghope.org)   I plan to make one of these little quilts to send in to the Quilting Arts Challenge. The quilt must reach their office by December 7th. I would be happy to send in quilts made by other OWQ members at the same time.   The quilts need to get to me no later than December 2nd.   A gallery of quilts in the challenge will be published in the April/May 2019 issue of Quilting Arts magazine – we could see ours in print!   The rules are: The quilt must have the theme “Heart of the Home”. The quilt must be 14” x 14”. The quilt must include a house motif. Embellishments must not protrude more than ½” from the surface of the quilt. The quilt can be made of any materials, but must have 3 layers, be quilted, and be closed around the edges. 2 rings or pop-top can tabs must be attached in the upper corners for easy hanging. No text or images protected by copyright, unless you have written permission. Permanently label your quilt on the back as: The House Quilt Project Artist’s Name City, State 2018 Do Not Wash   Attached are the articles from Quilting Arts to give you a little more explanation and show you some examples.
