I had some housekeeping to do since I recently rebranded myself from KimsCraftyApple to Persimon Dreams. I was fixing the Project QUILTING Flickr Group and renamed it to Project QUILTING with Persimon Dreams when I noticed a new project had been added. Barn Quilt from WaggonsWest This is the barn quilt I started eons ago in response to one of Kim’s Crafty Apple (recently rebranded to Persimon Dreams)...

Before I get to the first closer look I want to remind everyone that we have a ‘Project QUILTING Critique’ group now too. Since I don’t have judging and personal critiques this season you can add your piece to this group. Here – people are encouraged to critique your piece – the good and the bad. We want to know what you like about our quilt, what you don’t like, what you may have done differently or if you have a technique that would have worked better! Here’s a quick mosaic of the quilts that want to be critiqued from...

I hope you enjoy these quilts and as your looking at them and reading there story – remember, these were all created in just ONE week! Bravo to everyone! The second challenge will be posted next Sunday, January 22nd at NOON! Sign up for my newsletter and/or...

Thanks again to all my amazing Sponsors! AND to everyone who made a quilt for this weeks challenge! We had 32 projects submitted – a new record! Please remember that in order to have your name added to the hat the piece must follow all the rules including be a completed...
