Patchwork quilting has for a long time had reputation as being the the past-time of mothers, and grandmothers. But I am going to challenge that notion today, and here is how...
You are about to learn 3 new and thrilling ways for making a patchwork quilt.
1) Get Stronger With Each Patch
To commence you off with something easy, here's a challenge that's going to push your body and your skills to the limit.
Cut up and collect all of your quilting patches, then sort them into groups. For each group, assisgn one fitness exercise.
After you sew each patch on to your quilt, you then have to go and do that exercise. After you've it all fixed, it should look something like this:
- Green patch - 10 push-ups
- Purple patch - 15 sit ups
- White Patch - ten chin ups
- Orange Patch fifteen squats
When you finish your quilt, you'll have a body as hard as granite and the power to clobber a dozen security guards. Be sure to use your new found strength smartly.
2) The Candle Challenge
Do you ever find that quilting is chewing up all of your time or merely find that it just simply takes far too long to make each quilt?
Well then it is time to get a hold of a candle, light it and stick it between your toes. You start your quilt when you light the candle and do not stop till either the quilt is finished or the candle runs out.
If the candle burns out first, you have got to toss away your current patchwork quilt and start again.
You will be amazed at how swiftly you can put a quilt together when you don't care about the tiny inconsistencies and you will be stunned at just how many corners you can cut to save some time here and there!
3) Ultra Extreme Mode
This one is short and simple.
Get a deadly animal, a poisionous snake, a handfull of scorpions or a wild tiger and put them in a room.
Then get your quilting materials ready and dive in. The challenge here is to get in, and make your quilt and get out before anything bad occurs.
Yes, you can hold your head high when you complete this extreme challenge, knowing you're the most hardcore quilter of any that you know. And you can rest secure in the knowledge that you can stare down any amount of fatal animals too!
So lets give the patchwork quilt pre-conception a good shake up and prove to the world that we're nothing to sneeze at!
Readers please note : This is all in good fun, don't actually consider doing any of the above. Well except perhaps the exercise one, that should be ok.
