4 sister challenge
7 Attachment(s)
My 3 sisters (and sometimes a sister in law) get together once or twice a year for our Sisters Sewing Soiree. Also knows as our TBASSSS or The B***** and S***** Sister Sewing Soiree. We have a wonderful time sewing and chatting and laughing. Kind of like weeklong slumber party with your best friends.
Last year we found a fabric that none of us would have purchased on our own. It became our Challenge fabric. We each bought a panel to design something with. Below are pictures of the original fabric, as well as a picture of the various projects. We are looking forward to choosing our challenge project for the next year. We had such fun doing this. Let us know what your favorite project is. :D This is our original fabric. Not one any of us would normally purchase.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]360592[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]360593[/ATTACH] Sister No. 2 made a large quilt. Once again, beautifully done. [ATTACH=CONFIG]360591[/ATTACH] Sister No. 3 made this lovely pillow. I Love this one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]360594[/ATTACH] Sister No. 4 made this smaller lap/nap quilt. Neat design. [ATTACH=CONFIG]360600[/ATTACH] |
Wow, I am having a hard time picking a favorite. You all had some creative uses of the focus fabric. I hope I don't offend, but, I love the fabric bowl and the pillow. :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Love that you guys do this - sounds like the perfect weekend! Want to adopt me? I'll bring cookies....! Anyway, these are all BEAUTIFULLY done - very creative and I love them all!
Cindy (sister-to-be-adopted) ps - I'm good at the B____ part, and try hard on the S____ part.... |
They are all beautiful and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. It sounds like a lot of fun - keep it up!
|
Oh wow, you gals are simply AWESOME! I envy your fun! Can I come?
|
What imaginations you all have. I like them all
|
I like two best.
I bouht that panel also, and would never buy thatt....but, i saw a jacket with a big flower on the back appliqued onto it.it was stitched down with gold satin stt and thread painted throughout the petals. havent made it yet, got all the stuff and hopefully come this winter i will. |
You gals do beautiful and creative work. Can't possibly decide on a favorite project.
|
I like sister no. 4 best. Like a piece of abstract art.
|
LOVE ALL OF THEM! You sisters are so lucky! I grew up with all older brothers, fishing, hunting, football, baseball you get the idea!
|
Love them all and wish I could see what sister in law did! Seems as though you had such fun!
|
I vote for the bowls
|
Great Jobs, I very much dislike the original fabric panel, but love every completed project esp the lap Quilt. love the abstract art.

What a great tradition you ladies have going! I hope you can keep it up for years to come.
|
I agree ... the original fabric is almost on the ugly side but what you all did was absolutely wonderful. I'm having difficulty ranking them. You are all winners! :thumbup: Your parents raised some great children!
|
I like the challenge fabric, doubt that I would buy it. You all did a fabulous job! Talk about a challenge!
|
They all look great I have to say you are a very creative bunch Well done to all!
|
All of them are great- what imaginations you all have!
|
Stunning! I am so envious of your talent...all are great works of art.
|
it's amazing how the same fabric can look so different in the different projects, wonderful job to all
|
how fun! all great projects. the pillow is my favorite.
|
These are all beautiful and very hard to choose, but if I had to it would be the pillow.
Can't wait to see what you do next. |
WOW! I love them all. You are all sooooo talented!!! My fave is the pillow that sister #3 made.
|
All of your work is beautiful , I love the colors and choices of fabric. I have never seen that fabric before, what is the line?
|
Each and everyone is a winner! Beautiful work!
|
Wow! You guys must really have fun. All the projects are so different but I think I like Sister #2's take on it! Have fun next year!
|
the pillow wins the prize
|
Wow! Great ideas and good imaginations to come up with these wonderful projects. You girls are something else! I don't have a favorite.
|
I'm not a big pillow fan, but I love this one!!!!!!
|
All of the girls in your family are incredibly talented. What a wonderful thing - to be able to spend time with your sisters doing what you love to do, and challenging each other too. I'm an only child - want to adopt me? Please?
|
They are all beautiful
|
I love the pillow but also love the last quilt!!
|
very nice!!!!!

You girls are a talented bunch! Great.

All of you deserve a "Blue Ribbon"
|
To be honest I can't choose. You all did great! Can't wait to see what fabric you choose for the next challenge.

There is actually four flowers in that set. I took my panels and cut into 4 pictures. Then I had my husband make me stretcher bars and I have them hung in my living room on my red wall. I think they look great and have got several positive comments on them.
