Collaborate with Me

You’ve got some UFOs, right?  You know, Unfinished Objects?  I’ve got a drawer full.

Here’s the thing.  These UFOs have potential.  Otherwise I wouldn’t have kept them.  (My friends will tell you that I DON’T keep things that just take up space!)  But, these items no longer interest ME.

So, I thought I’d see if any of you readers might be intrigued by some of them.  Here’s the first one, started in a QSDS class with Cherilyn Martin around 2003.

It’s about 21″ long, with a cluster of something organic at the top.  This cluster was stitched on water soluble film, so it’s a stand-alone item that’s been hand stitched onto the background.

Batting is already in place, and some quilting has been done.

Do you have any ideas for this piece?  If so, I’m giving it away.

I’d LIKE it if the recipient would:
– promise to actually use it (or pass it on,)
– show me pictures of the completed project (which I’ll post on this blog,)
– and credit me as the artist who started the project.

But there are NO RESTRICTIONS about what you do with this.  You can paint it, cut it, burn it.  I don’t care, as long as it serves your artistic purposes.

I’ll mail it at no charge to the first person (within the US) who emails me with a request.  Email: 
ellen@adventurequilter.com  UPDATE:  This piece has been claimed.

P.S.  I have lots more give aways.  I’ll mix up the way I do them.  Some will be offered via my Face Book page or my newsletter.  I’ll also reward them in different ways.  Stay tuned!

    That’s a nice giveaway. But I will not do it. Because I myself have no UFOs and wants to keep it that way 🙂 Hope you find another lover

    What a great concept. About 6 months ago I gave a UFO to a friend..no strings attached..and felt lighter.

    My interest in your UFO is it appeals to me in its present state and I sense it will be accompanied with a FREEDOM TO PLAY like no other. With no investment what have I to lose yet what have I to gain. I’m consideringtaking it to my group “Doll, Beads and More”* to brain storm and stimulate their juices.

    *Friday Aug. 4th, four members saw your quilt at the Porcella/Florida exhibit at the Ruth Funk Museum. We all were examining and jabbering about it. Congratulations.
