INNOVATIONS CHALLENGES
Innovations 2010 has several Challenges now in progress! There is the Fabric Challenge, the Creativity Challenge and the Quilting Challenge.

Fabric Challenge
SewBatik is providing the BEAUTIFUL fabric for the Innovations Fabric Challenge! The fabric is a surprise, but, trust me, you will not be disappointed. When you join the Fabric Challenge you will receive 1 (one) yard of the SewBatik fabric - and your entry fee into the Innovations Quilt Show is included in the price.

Creativity Challenge
THE SECOND PART OF THE CREATIVITY CHALLENGE HAS BEEN POSTED!!

The Creativity Challenge this year is a quick and simple quilt in two variations. You get to choose which one you want to make! The piecing instructions for the Creativity Challenge are in a "Mystery" format and Part 1 AND Part 2 are now posted!

Quilting Challenge
This year's theme for the Quilting Challenge is.. Sky's the Limit! Create a quilt that represents your interpretation of this phrase. Do you think of "over the top?" Do you think of celestial, planetary or other outer space type of things? Do you think of a calm summer sky or an angry winter storm? Whatever you think... make a quilt and enter it into the Quilt Show! For details on the Quilting Challenge Click Here


Vendors - The Vendor area of the Innovations Quilt Show is beginning to fill up. For a list of vendors that will be at Innovations Click Here. If you have a product or know of someone who would like to be a vendor Click Here for information.


Hotel Murano - Recently, the local news had a very interesting report on the Hotel Murano, which is the host hotel for Innovations 2010. If you would like to view this brief video and see some of the wonderful art glass at the Hotel Murano Click Here


I am sure you will agree -

Innovations 2010 is going to be GREAT!!!
