Wee Quilt Challenge

Deadline: March 4, 2009 (RECEIVE)

Wee Quilt Challenge


McDougall Cottage, is a charming, stone labourer's cottage surrounded by an equally charming pocket-sized garden situated on the banks of the Grand River in downtown Cambridge, Ontario. Home to two families of hardworking Scots for the first 100 years of its history, McDougall Cottage boats spectacular trompe l'oeil ceilings and hand-painted friezes, many of which evoke the magical Scottish landscape.

"Wee Quilt" Challenge
McDougall Cottage will be showcasing this strong Scottish heritage by hosting is seventh annual "Wee" Quilt Challenge in the spring of 2009. This mini-challenge invites quilters from all parts of Canada (...and of course, Scotland) to submit a wee quilted creation no larger than 24" x 24". Your "PLAID-VERTISING" WALL QUILT must include a piece of plaid.

Plaids have provided inspiration for many a marketing genius. Become your own marketing "wunderkind" by interpreting a favourite plaid-ad in fabric. Or, quilt your own wee creation, choosing a plaid that helps deliver your special message to the world. Please be sure to credit in your statement, where appropriate, the source of your inspiration.

The "PLAID-vertising" Quilt Show will open in April and run through Labour Day. The artists will be honoured at a Scottish Tea Wednesday, May 27, 2009 when "bonnie wee prizes" will be awarded. 4-6 p.m.

Digital images and entry forms must be at the Cottage by March 4, 2009. Our "PLAID-VERTISING" Quilt Show will open in April and run through Labour Day. The artists will be honoured at a Scottish Tea Wednesday, May 27, 2009 when "bonnie wee prizes" will be awarded. 4 to 6 p.m.
