and after some discussion with fellow guild members I decided to use the basket as the theme of the challenge. I didn't want the members to have to make an exact replica of the basket, but just to use the basket as a starting point for their designs. It looks like we're not going to have very many quilts, so I decided to make 2. Here is one of my entries.
When the TTT gang was in Pigeon Forge earlier this year I purchased some fabric with shirtless construction workers on it. I threatened then that I was going to use the fabric in my challenge quilt, but I didn't act on it then. Last week after finishing my first entry I decided I needed to make the joke quilt I'd said I would do. Hopefully this won't offend anyone at guild!
What a great idea - it's a riot!
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical, Corky! I always wondered what quilt makers did with those risque images. You managed to make it funny and NOT offensive. Congratulations - this one should be the winner in the 'Don't take yourself so seriously' category.
ReplyDeleteI bet every one of our little "quilter ladies" will vote for that one but swear they didn't!!
ReplyDeleteGreat imagination, Corky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a DIFFERENT interpretation of the normal "basket" pattern!! :)
