Birthday Quilt Project
To celebrate my 40th birthday, I am embarking on a collaborative community quilt project. My hope is that each square will be made by a different person and the finished quilt will carry the essence of everyone involved. Not only do many hands make light work- many hands also bring endless creativity and energy to a project and I hope to wrap myself up in the finished quilt of this communal creation. I am excited to stitch together friends and family from different times my life into one piece of art.
Here’s how it works:
Quilt square bundles are being assembled and I will begin to send them out April 1st. I am requesting that each participant contribute $10 to cover the cost of shipping. Any left over money will be used to help purchase the batting and backing material that I will need to finish the quilt.
*Note: If you are local and want make arrangements to pick up your fabric bundle and bring it back once finished, you do not need to register through the website. You can send me an email to let me know.
To participate, please register below. Or you can Venmo $10 to @thepatchworkunderground and send me an email with your mailing address. Everyone who is a part of the project will get a shout out and progress updates as we get going. Thank you so much!
Here’s how it works:
- I will provide you will a bundle of fabric, primarily by mail, for you to make a quilt square,
- You may also include some of your own fabric but at least 50% of the square needs to be made from the fabric that I give you.
- The finished square needs to measure 12 x 12 inches.
- You are invited to include embroidery or hand stitching on your square if you feel inspired but it is not required.
- Once your square is finished, mail it back to me. I love sending and receiving mail!
- You will also get reminders of these instructions.
- If you want to get more than one bundle mailed to the same address, just make a note of that in your registration. You do not need to pay for more than one.
- I need to have all quilt squares back by May 15, 2020.
