Rogue Art Quilters’ Challenge

“Meet Me on the Bricks”

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) is an integral part of the small town of Ashland, Oregon. Therefore, the theme “Meet Me On the Bricks” was selected as the latest Rogue Art Quilters’ challenge. The “Bricks” refers to the meet-up area for patrons attending plays at the Bowmer, Elizabethan Stage, and New Theater. OSF also hosts a free “Green Show” on the bricks each summer night, with musicians, jugglers, and dancers entertaining theater-goers. As the sun begins its descent, music fills the air, locals and tourists smile at one other, and an occasional sign is held, pleading for tickets to a sold-out performance.

This quilt challenge required members to incorporate the OSF theme and use the same brown mosaic “brick” fabric. The quilt width was set at 20-24 inches with no binding.

The quilts will be on display at the U.S. Bank, 30 N. 2nd St., Ashland, OR from July 2 to August 31, 2012.

Journal challenge for Feb. 2012

This is the challenge fabric for the next Journal quilt, due the first Wed. in February. The challenge is to pick a fortune cookie from the bag at Quiltz and to use it as inspiration for your quilt. This fabric and something metal must also be used somewhere in the piece.

The Purple Line Challenge

For this challenge, the Rogue Art Quilters chose the theme of “travel.” Each quilt was to measure 20 inches wide and have a purple line going through it, exiting at each side with a 1-inch measurement. The travel theme could be interpreted any way the quilter desired.

The Purple Line Challenge exhibit is on display in the lobby of U.S. Bank, 30 N 2nd, Ashland (across from Quiltz), from July 1 through the month of September, 2011.
