Squirrelin' Around by Jane D

I am lucky enough to split my time creating between Madison and Door County in WI. This is my second attempt at a challenge quilt and I knew I wanted to try some new things with it. I’ve always wanted to do a ‘crazy quilt’ and also to try ‘quilt as you go’ plus I have a new sewing machine so it was great fun to experiment with some of the embroidery stitches. 

I really liked the squirrel fabric and also the floral fabric included in the Kim packet so they became the centers of the squares. The squirrel squares are arranged in a circle so I named the quilt “Squirrelin’ Around”. It is 34.5” high X 35” wide.

Recycled by Beverly H

Lots of firsts in this project, the plaid is mostly from recycled men’s shirts I worked on last year when I wasn’t able to do any sewing. 

 I’m not enamored with the binding though the idea seemed great. I had used the remaining fabric on the back already. Possibly longer pieces of the plaid in the binding would have looked less choppy. Overall, fun project. Thank you for the push to “just do it”!

Button it Up by Lily H

 It's the last challenge. Too many ideas and just not enough time to test them out.

I just made a simple envelope style pouch with a stacked button closure. In keeping of my own challenge of creating some type of bag for each challenge.

Button It Up by Maren

 Dear Kim and Trish,

a wonderful season again. So sad that it was already the last challenge this year. The projectquilting boosts my creativity like nothing else. Thank you for that. 
This year most of my projects turned out in felt
Also the last one.

 Although in the end i disqualify because i found this leechen which compliments the button hole so nicely that i exchanged it for the button:)

3 layers felt. Hand felted, hand quilted

Hope for many more seasons and will continue the button series....

Sunny greetings from the Canary Islands

Button It Up by Caroline

 Posting now because 2 weeks ago I so forgot!!!!

Anyhow voilà… 

I was traveling for this last one, hapoy I could come up with a hand sewing project. 

The word « button » was in my head… then I saw a tutorial by @Bookhou for a collapsible container. 

In it are circles that made me think of buttons!! 

So voilà how I prepared my hand sewing and did the sewing in my Amtrak train. 

Thank-you both for an amazing season! Fun themes!!

I heart PQ by Nancy H

This week’s theme is Button It Up. I found a heart shaped button and thought of how much I enjoy this challenge. I decided to use the button in a banner saying “I heart P Q”.

My quilt is 7”x5”. #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason16

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Each week is a different theme. Here is a link to this season 16: https://kimlapacek.com/project-quilting-season-16

I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done. For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

Follow Your Arrow

'To The Moon'

I was drawing a arrow on paper and my friend said 'my little daughter would make that into a Rocket... I liked that idea so designed an arrow like rocket on the way to the moon!!.. The sky moon and hills are my hand dyed fabrics and the rocket little bits of other fabrics and free motioned stitched.. I made it quite long and narrow to fit a space on my studio wall.. running out of gaps!!

What Goes Up, Must Come Down by Jacomina

The fireworks fabric inspired “what goes up, must come down”. 

And the fabric for the arrows has IMO little arrows too.

Follow Your Arrow by Beverly H

The concept was to depict starting in one direction and coalescing towards one dominate goal, with wobbles on the way.

Trapunto Heart by Maren R

 Just trying out Trapunto. Had this piece of prefelt left and Arrow and heart seemed a good combination to work on. 

And here it is.

Embelished Trapunto and some Grafitti Quilting. The Arrows are a bit on the subtle side but i really like it. Nobody should check the back too closely because i made a huge mistake snipping too far and therefore have the batting peeping out but just enjoy the front.

And anyway it is not a showpiece but a dive into creativity and new techniques.

So grateful for project Quilting.

Follow Your Arrow Bag by Linda G

 I remembered this beautiful arrow fabric I received from a niece awhile ago so made a bag.  I tested another pattern but it makes a very large bag.  We went to the recent archery tournament that another niece competed in and so this bag will go to her.
