2009 Challenge Quilt #10 (The Old Stomping Ground) New York
Posted by: malke.y on: April 2, 2009
“I lived in lower Manhattan when I first came to NY. I quilted the most travelled route I took in those days between the Lower East Side, where I lived, and the World Trade Center where I worked. (Ii never took the bus).”
2009 Challenge Quilt #9 (New York Mosaic)

- 4 Comments
“The first thing that struck me when I moved to NY from the Midwest, almost 30 years ago, was the non-stop motion everywhere, the lack of patience and the need for everyone behind me to be somewhere else five minutes ago, if not esterday. To me, NY is a true mosaic, not a melting pot, with each person a unique part of the whole. This quilt is based on the subway tile station mosaic motifs, trying to incorporate motion, people, landmarks, traffic and some of the many things NY is know for: finance, communication, entertainment, food, etc.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #8 (Convergence)

“Convergence” By Joyce
“I was inspired by the convergence of the people, cars, trains that form New York City.”

2009 Challenge Quilt #7 (All On Time)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 22, 2009
“I employed a variation of the log cabin block. My husband and I enjoy traveling to our favorite spots in the 5 boroughs by subway. “All On Time” was sewn in honor of an artist who was forced by the Great Depression to give up his scholorship to Pratt Institute to work as a NYC motorman. He later came out of retirement to work at a menial job to pay for the tuition of his daughter as a dance major in NYU so that she could fullfill her dream.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #6 (The Maze)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 19, 2009
Reference This Post “The Maze” By Merri “Out path starts at the hospital [the bottom subway map starts at a hospital] and ends at the cemetery [the top subway map is the cemetery]. Along the way our loved ones watch over us.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #5 (A Wild Ride on the Subway)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 19, 2009
“‘” A Wild Ride on the Subway’ fits with the theme of transportation that I have been working on. From boats to taxis to Volkswagons, getting around NYC can be an adventure! Born and raised in Brooklyn New York, I have been painting for over 35 years. Over the past five years, I have been experimenting with fiber art, finding it to be freeing and fun. where as my paintings are formal, my quilts are whimsical and playful.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #4 (Sweet Dreams)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 17, 2009
“Some people count sheep to help them fall asleep, I count trains. It works for me since live a stones-throw from the Q Train that helps lull me to sleep.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #3 (People on the Moon)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 15, 2009
“People in NY, with it’s great history and diverse cultures, are all on the moon. Both residents and tourist alike using different means of travel. Buses, trains, cars and trucks moving over the grand bridges. Through tunnels, up and down our streets, sometimes at great speed I might add. Let us not forget the boats that travel in and out of our vast waterways and harbors. We have it all for people on the moon.”

2009 Challenge Quilt #2 (Our Day in Central Park)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 12, 2009
“Our Day in Central Park” By Perri
“I stared at the challenge fabrics for a long time. Central Park was conveniently in the center of my piece of subway map so it gave me focus, after rejecting the idea of cutting out tiny words from the map and finding fabric to symbolize many NYC destinations. The quilt became an exercise in fabric scraps and wonder under.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #1 (NY State of Mind)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 12, 2009
“Our energy, our style of always being on the go and our unique attitudes make us true New Yorkers. that’s why I love every minute of my “NY State of Mind”"
Challenge Quilt Contest (Viewing Process)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 12, 2009
We had a Challenge Quilt. I will be posting the entries a couple a day. At the end of the postings I will create a poll. Being that this is a combination of in-store and online voting we will combine the two votes to come up with the winner. The winner get’s a cash prize, all the glory and media interviews!
The quilt needed to have two fabrics (I will post them soon), finished back and front with quilt batting and binding and can’t be more than 24 by 24 inches. One of the fabrics was a subway map and the other fabric had lots of people on it, hence the NYC connection. I will also post the explanations from the contestants.
