Project Quilting Season 13

It's time for Project Quilting's 13th Season! It's a three month on-line event that challenges participants to create a quilt in one week, with a week off in between. You can participate in as few or as many as you like. Participants are entered into random prize drawings and at the end of the season there are grand prizes awarded. The more challenges you enter, the better your chances.
I've participated in every year in some form or another (and I was the overall grand prize winner of Season 2). Some of my favorite quilts that I've made were Project Quilting challenges.

The schedule for when the challenges start is:
- Challenge 1: January 2
- Challenge 2: January 16
- Challenge 3: January 30
- Challenge 4: February 13
- Challenge 5: February 27
- Challenge 6: March 13

Each challenge is posted at noon CDT and due exactly one week later at noon CDT.

The challenge will be posted on the "Persimon Dreams" Project Quilting blog and you can also find links about past seasons there.

Custom Quilts made in 2021

This year I made two large custom art quilts, which I've already shared but here they are again, anyway. Plus a t-shirt quilt that was made as a Christmas present, a table runner, and someone saw one of my mini art quilt cats but it had sold, so when I offered to make another one for her, she suggested changing the cat from white to orange, since that was the coloring of her cat.

Touching the Sky, 30" x 48"


Serenity, 69" x 49"
