The Language of Flowers
2022 Fall Fest Challenge
Sponsored by Moonlighters
The language of flowers is an idea that has been with us for years. We have national and state flowers; many of us have a favorite flower; we use different flowers to mark the seasons and special occasions.
Moonlighters invites you to create a small quilt to share at the 2022 CAQG Fall Fest on Saturday, November 5, 2022. The challenge is to make a quilt that represents the theme “the Language of Flowers.” Size requirements: not larger than 24” on any side; no minimum size.
You may focus on one flower or use a bouquet. Participants are free to use any style or technique including hand or machine applique, foundation piecing, traditional piecing, embroidery, embellishment, abstract or realistic, original design or work from a purchased pattern, represent a specific flower or use fabrics with floral prints. The field is wide open!
We look forward to seeing what ideas germinate, take root, and come into full bloom. The quilts will be shown in a temporary display at Fall Fest 2022. Information about Fall Fest will be sent separately, but this gives us a chance to start working on the challenge now!
Just a few ideas to get you started:
US national flower: the rose
Virginia state flower (and tree): the dogwood
Ukrainian national flower: Sunflower
