  2021 Lone Robin - Progressive Quilt Challenge

      

                                        

           Julia McLeod's 2020 Lone Robin                Claire Sherman's 2020 Lone Robin  

  This is a project you can undertake all on your lonesome - as most of us are, in these strange, pandemic times. Have fun sewing in your own creative space with no need to hand anything off to another quilter. This quilt will be all your own work.

  For details about creating your "Robin," see the Lone Robin Detail Page.

  There will be 6 rounds, announced February thru July 2021 in a monthly email, and on the EBHQ website. This activity is not a Zoom. 

  We will also be sharing our progress at the Virtual EBHQ Meet-up held on the second Thursday of each month.  August will be a catch-up month and September will be your chance to enter your quilt. Prizes and the final deadline TBA.

  “Covered in Cobwebs”—Paula Zurowski’s ancient, but well-preserved, quilt—kicks off our “My First Quilt” evening. Who, other than Roberta Horton, would be a fabulous resource to guide a novice through the process of choosing fabric for a classic pattern, learning how to foundation paper piece and hand quilt, not to mention how important it is to pay attention to the details when finishing your quilt? Follow “Cobweb’s” journey from its start in an Albany Adult School class in 1976 to where it is today.

  We also want you to share the story of your first quilt! You can provide a picture, hold your quilt up to the Zoom screen, or just talk about it. To participate, select the appropriate choice at the end of the Meet-Up registration page.

  In addition, you are welcome to share your Inspired By pieces, Lone Robin, Postcard Exchanges, or any other items during Show and Tell.

  To take part in our Postcard Exchange, just mark "Yes" to the exchange question when you register for Meet Up.

  Your Meet-Up Hosts,

  Nancy, Claire, Valerie, and Fredda

  Introducing This Month's Inspiration 

  
  

  Have you ever looked at a photo and been so inspired by its colors, shapes,  mood, or perhaps a memory, that you felt the urge capture that inspiration in a quilt? Well, here’s your chance!

  EBHQ’s latest at-home sewing activity, "Inspired By," hopes to get your creative juices flowing. Everyone sees something different when they look at a picture. If our photo prompt inspires you to design a quilt, go for it! Your fabric creation can be any size. Design a postcard, a quilt block, a wall hanging, a table runner, a placemat, a lap quilt, a bed quilt. You decide.

  We're hoping to entice adventurous EBHQ Quilters to join in the  2021 Round Robin groups. For inspiration, check out the 2020 Round Robin to view their finished quilt tops and commentary. December is the time to sign up, so we can get the 6-member groups organized for the January 24^th initial block exchange.
  

  
  

  Each participant choses a Traditional or Improvisational style and prepares a center block, which will be worked on by 5 other group members, with exchanges every 2 months. The final return to the "owner" will happen in November, in time for Show and Tell.

  
  

  Does this sound like fun?  Are you intrigued?  Click here for more details...

  
  

  To quote last year's leader: "Participants should be good at honoring deadlines and be prepared to do good quality work." That said, there are no judges and no beadles.
