Cherrywood Challenge 2020 - Princess Diana

Crazy.....

Like a fox...

This guy thinks he lives here now!!

But the really crazy part?!?!??

My entry for Cherrywood Challenge 2020

has been chosen to travel! 

(at least some one gets to travel)

The Theme was Princess Diana

and

being Canadian....I had to give it a shot!

This is the 4th time I have entered 

AND

the fourth time I have been chosen to travel!

Now that is CRAZY!!

2017 - Van Gough

Finally home....

2018 - Prince(the singer)

I think he is in Minnesota at the moment

2019 Bob Ross

He's still out gallivanting somewhere in the world.

The first Challenge I ever entered was the  Hoffman Challenge 2014. 

This Butterfly Kisses toured for a year with them.

The second was this purse for Hoffman 2016.

It also toured for a year.

Last Year, I tried the Trendtex Challenge for Canadian Quilter 

Which thanks to all of you....

Made Viewer's Choice!!

(insert bow of thanks here)

I remember when I started this one at guild,

 they all looked at me with a funny eye.

This fabric screamed 'Halloween' to me but what the heck...

I had nothing but time to lose.

I won a ribbon and 100$!!!!

I am currently finishing up 2021 Trendtex Challenge.

I love the challenges that specify

 you can only use the pack of fabric that is provided. 

One less decision to make. 

Give it a try sometime!

It makes you think outside of your box

and 

inside their perimeters!

Ps.

 Thank you to everyone guessing the date of my quilt on Facebook!

You're getting close!

 

Cherrywood Challenge

 Since 2020 did not go as ANYONE planned...

The 2020 Cherrywood Challenge 

was 

postponed to January 2021

This year the color was pink

and

the subject was Lady Diana

I am not a fan of pink

but 

being Canadian I thought should give it  a try.

This is what I came up with....

Will this one be chosen to travel in 2021?

I will let you know!

Bob is still out there touring...

Bob Ross 2019

As well as Prince.....

PRINCE 2018

My Van Gogh is home from a World Tour!

It was a show in France at the Bohin Factory!

Van Gogh 2017

If only it could talk...

What will be Cherrywood Color for 2021?

I Did It Again.....

Last year I entered the Cherrywood Fabrics Challenge

The theme was Van Gough using their hand dyed blues.

It had to read 70% blue, be 20" square and be reflective of Van Gogh.

I was a finalist 

and

it made it in their book!!

It's actually still on tour.

My family tried to get me to one of the viewings when it was in Minnesota this summer 

but

there is never a dull day around this farm.

I couldn't drag them that far for a quick peak.

This years challenge was purple.

Like BLUE...Purple is my 'next' favorite color!!

This was my entry for a quilt based on Prince (the singer)

I called it 'Let It Rain'

The list was published this morning at 4am!!

Third column....top of the list!!!

Crazy!!

If you want to see the real thing before it goes touring.....

Mom and I are off to the lake today

To set up the artisan cabin for the weekend

at

Moose Mountain Park,Sk

Come for a visit today or tomorrow!!

Prince Cherrywood Challenge 2018

Last year, I entered the Van Gogh Cherrywood Challenge

 simply....

 because it was blue.

I LOOOOOVE blue if you haven`t realized that yet.

I didn`t have a clue about `Van Gogh` though.... 

This was the start of my inspiration....

And this is what I came up with....

This is where is was published and is now touring the world!!

Who knew!!

So when 2018`s challenge was announced,

 I had to give my hand a try at it again.

After all....Its PURPLE!! 

(my other `don`t know what to make with` favorite color)

You may think I don`t have a color I hate....

Oh but I do..

If it was yellow or orange....count me out.

No way could I do anything with those!!

This year`s challenge is an ode to Prince, the singer

You must use the 3 purples and one black in the pack.

It should read 70% purple and be all Cherrywood Fabrics

I wasn`t sure where I was going with it 

but 

I have to say I am loving where I am at.

I can`t show you yet.....

But I think it`s going to be good!

And it`s not a little PURPLE corvette!!
