VIEWERS CHOICE AWARD WINNER - KAREN BERMAN

WHAT IS IT THAT WOULD “MAKE YOUR DAY”?

What is it that would make your spirit soar—that would “make your day!” Dream big. Think about what would be the most wonderful thing in your life that could happen... did happen...will happen...or you wish would happen. Could it be a very special family event like the birth of a grandchild? Perhaps it’s a fabulous trip you long to take to Venice, seeing Machu Picchu, a safari or riding a camel to the great pyramid. Maybe it’s something on your dream bucket list, a dream of having a quilt in the Houston show, winning the lottery or how about world peace?

The Challenge: Create a quilt that expresses the theme “Make My Day!”

Rules: There are none! The quilt can be any size or shape. All quilting techniques and surface embellishments are allowed: piecing, hand or machine appliqué, embroidery, photography, painting, foiling, beading, any type of quilting. The style is up to you. A hanging sleeve is optional.

Details: One entry per member. There will be a $100 prize for Viewer’s Choice, and a $50 prize by random drawing from among all participants. The same member cannot be awarded both prizes. Please submit an entry that has not been shown to the Guild before.

Due date: Email one overall photo and one closeup of your quilt, in JPEG format, to Deb Shoemaker at DebShoemaker22@gmail.com by Friday, October 21.

Quilts will be shown, and winners announced, at the November meeting, either via Zoom or in person as the situation requires.
