Art Quilt Challenge for the 2023 Quilt Show

I am so excited to share the theme of this year’s Art Quilt Challenge – Denim & Lace!

Each Art Quilt must contain the elements of denim and lace in the design, and you may use other fabrics as you desire. The lace can be anything from an old crocheted doily, grandma’s hankie, a piece from a wedding dress or Christening gown, to a piece of lace from your scrap bin. Similarly, grab some denim from an old pair of jeans, overalls, or jacket. The sky’s the limit with your design, so use your imagination and start creating! There are plenty of ideas on Pinterest.

Here are the requirements to enter an Art Quilt:

  1. The quilt must measure 12” x 12”

  2. The quilt must include 3 layers – top, batting, and backing, and must be quilted

  3. Each member is allowed to enter 2 quilts, if desired

  4. Hanging sleeve is not required.

  5. Art quilts should be submitted for the quilt show

Here are a couple of examples of how denim and lace can be combined:

I can’t wait to see your creations at the Quilt Show! Please reach out to me with any questions.
