The Challenge was to send me photos of a recent STASH Buster only quilt and the details of why you made it and where you will use it or who you gifted it to.
The WINNER is Danielle E! Her quilt is pictured to the right. Here was her explanation:
"Every year when we used to head south to Florida, I would bring a big tote of scraps for my elderly quilter neighbor, but since we sold our place my bins have been overflowing. I finally decided to ‘just do it’ since I didn’t have the heart to toss it all. I’m usually not one for abstract quilts, but love how this turned out. Still have an outer black sashing to finish. Luckily I had a bolt of plain black to tie it all together.
Once I put all the blocks together and added a piano border, I realized I wanted it bigger, so back to the bins and made some flying geese. Now it’s queen size.
Such a fun quilt for mindless sewing! Hope it inspires some sewers who enjoy no-pattern projects."
LATE ENTRY - Jacquie G
Have you ever been away and when you get home you find that you missed the best fabric sale of the year? And then you head into the store and plead your case but your supplication falls on deaf ears? Well that's not how I do things here....
Jacquie was away when the newsletter came out and called me to tell me that the last quilt I had quilted for her was a Stash-Buster. I had a photo because it was such a lovely quilt... so here it is to the right. She did a fabulous job - and it also ended up to be a queen size quilt. It's the largest she has ever done - and all from scraps!
Danielle won a $50 certificate and Jacquie was awarded a $25 certificate.
Danielle is a longarmer - so she will be using hers to upload 3 quilts for sale to the new site that will be up and running in March. It has NOT been published but you can peek here.
