There is going to be an exciting new event happening at The Festival of Quilts from August 6 - 9, 2015 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK. It is the first Game of Quilts.
Click here to go to the Game of Quilts website. Click here for their Facebook page.
Game of Quilts is about completing a quilt from the first cut to the last stitch on the label during the 7 hours that the Festival of Quilts is open each day. BERNINA sewing machines, cutting and ironing equipment are supplied on the stand.
Each day, three teams of four members each, will try to meet this challenge.
The quilts must measure no less than 48" square.
The teams will have complete freedom over their designs, but they will have instructions on how to construct the quilt top. This will be their starting point for a special quilt, which will allow all the skills and talents of the team members to shine.
Any style, technique and material is permitted, as long as it is practical. The quilts will be donated to Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity at the end of the Festival.
The fabrics for the quilts to be supplied by the teams and the choice of colors is entirely theirs.
The teams will be working in full view of visitors, who can watch their progress and engage in conversation.
This is not a competition and there is no elimination of teams. All are winners, in that they will have achieved something great in aid of a very special charity.
