Texture Magic Tuesday/ Challenge Blocks

Posted: 20 July 2010 at 6:25 a.m.
Many of us belong to quilt groups or guilds where we are asked to make a Challenge Block.
Often a piece of fabric is given, and we are encouraged to create something unique and of beauty.
Our thanks today goes to Virginia Perry of Knoxville, Tennessee for sharing with us her use of Texture Magic in a Challenge Block.

Virginia attended a quilt retreat in Moutrie, Georgia hosted by Suzanne's Quilt Shop.
"Our instructions for the challenge block were to use half of the fabric they provided, use sky blue for the background and you must have a flower as its main focus.
I wanted my borders to look like leaves. The dark green fabric that I selected has leaves in a lighter green on the fabric. I used texture magic to create the borders."
she said.
Virginia is a Star Member of The Quilt Show, and even though she is a beginning quilter, she has sewn, smocked and embroidered for years.
"I have been married to my husband, Bill, for 47 years and we have 3 grown children and 6 grand sons. No girls for a women who made French Hand Sewn and Smocked dresses at a small business that we called The Perry Patch.
Professionally,I am a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner."
Beautiful job Virginia, of combining quilting, embroidery and Texture Magic.
