Piecemeal Quilters Bee Challenges from the past
Posted on January 09 2022
Julianne's bee, the Piecemeal Quilters, takes on a challenge every now and then. She thought it would be fun to look back at some of our previous challenges!
For the 2017 challenge, check that blog post here.
2016 Challenge photos can be found here.
2015
In 2015, we really stretched each other with the challenge of self portrait blocks. All techniques were represented, and the results ranged from symbolic to realistic renderings of ourselves.
From the top: Lori Rice, Shirley Hendrix (state flag of Ohio), Tina Schwager, Kelly Hutchens, Sandy Fitzpatrick, Julianne Walther, Carol Franks, and Ann Young.
Julianne created her portrait in 8 different color ways, so each bee member got to choose their color. Many bee members made different versions of the same block to share.
2014
In 2014, we drew names and created bags for each other. Tote bags, iPad bags, makeup bags, small and large purses were created!
2013
In 2013, we drew names for each other and created a pillow. Some were very elaborate!
2011
We challenged each other to create our own "Inner Animal" in a 12" square or less project.

I'm still working on gathering photos from earlier years. We have swapped blocks, rows, fabric, and more. I hope this gives you and your bee some good ideas for keeping your creative juices flowing!
