QB Flinging Flimsies - Mad Adders
Ricky Tims is going to encourage groups of 6 to rethink how round-robin quilting should happen with recorded lessons along the way to enjoy whenever you like into the future. .... Anticipate the encouragement of cutting things up that come to you. Cutting up isn't required but it sure sounds like our work will become a disappearing nine-patch type of ensemble. It could be interesting. Quilting Board Team Sign-ups will be accepted through September 15. We don't even have to do a design around whatever we receive! So long as it is bigger than we receive it is the only obligation.

Here is a description straight from the website: What Is Mad Adders? Mad Adders is a concept to create a wall quilt, primarily created using patchwork, in a round-robin fashion. The six individuals each provide a starter piece and each participant adds to it. The originator should not see their project until the reveal party. After the reveal party, the originator may then alter, change, or add to their quilt top and then finish it as desired. The size of the finished quilt is not limited, but would likely be no larger than 60” with most quilts finishing in the 36”-50” range. It will cost to have access to the classes he is offering (about $74.98 per person -- you register on his website) and the postage to ship the project to the next person (priority mail?), to say nothing of the cost of the fabric BUT it would be an interesting learning experience especially if we all accept that our work will likely be sliced and diced by everyone. Friendship to be made, joy to be shared! We need a 6-member USA team. I cannot afford to ship out of the country, sorry. Each member starts with their center and then sends it to the next person. There is a one-month turnaround to ship the project to the next person on the list. There is a class taught each month by Ricky that you can watch live or whenever convenient. No reveals until the grand reveal. But we can talk about it!! So here are a handful of rules. The rules in italics are from Ricky.
Schedule:October 4th, 9AM – Introduction with Ricky – Getting Started First pass to be received by the LIVE Lesson on November 1st, 9AM Second pass to be received by the LIVE on December 6th, 9AM Third pass to be received by the LIVE on January 3rd, 9AM Fourth pass to be received by the LIVE on February 4th, 9AM Fifth pass to be received by the LIVE on March 9th, 9AM Sixth pass to be received by the LIVE on April 3rd, 9AM Reveal Parties should be held between April 3rd and April 15th Final deadline for finished quilts, photos, and submissions is May 29th. Would anyone like to join in? If any of you have advice for this newbie organizer, it would be very welcome! September 15 is the deadline to join up. |
I will be out of the country on one of those dates. In Peru. Will I be able to connect by zoom, miss that session or not participate?
|
The lessons are recorded and accessible anytime at all that is convenient to you after the live session. He said we can access them forever. May I go to Peru with you? Is it work or vacation?

Potential team members, please do not register with Ricky Tims site until we have our team in place. We need a committed team of six and a team name to register. So far QB has only five folks considering the challenge so we don't have a team in place yet. Thanks!
potential QB Adders Challenge folks: 1. ibex94 2. Yiayia 3. c joyce 4. 1CharmShort 5. Petthefabric 6. |
Would we mail each month using a Flat Rate Box to keep costs down/consistent?

Shawnee,
Unfortunately we didn’t have the request number of participants. I am sure Ricky Tims will be doing this class again. If anyone is still interested add your name here and I will post when he advertises his next class. I am on his mailing list. He is the only person that I have taken a class from and would not hesitate to take another. |

It says to register by October 1, and it doesn't begin until October 4, but I do see they have limited enrollment available ...is that why we're too late? Ibex? |
Oops, my mind is going! I thought it was September 1. I am sorry for the mixup 😂.
I quilt far better than I read, honest!! |
