Event Details

The Challenge was put forth to quilters asking them to interpret Artisan as a celebration of excellence. The resulting entries were juried by a panel of experts including Kaffe.

Contest Details:

Artisans celebrate excellence. Artisans start with thoughtfully-chosen materials to create an item with inherent beauty and attention to detail and design. The focus of the I Am An Artisan juried exhibit, is on quilts designed to showcase the harmony of color and texture. Each quilt will speak to a time when hand creation included dedication, appreciation, skill and love of the craft. It’s about simplicity, intention, approach, quality, and a sense of connectionto a time when craftsmanship and artisanship were celebrated.

The entries can be art quilts that speak to the theme or traditional quilts. Any techniques—piecing, appliqué, embroidery, and/or manipulated fabric, etc.—may be used. Competition is open to artists in the United States and Canada. Roughly 80% of each work (60”x 60” quilt) must feature the Artisan fabric collection by Kaffe Fassett for FreeSpirit, www.freespiritfabrics.com/artisan.

A jury of experts, including Kaffe Fassett, will select the works. The jury’s decision is final. The organizers reserve the right to decide about the quilts for the exhibition upon seeing the actual quilts. The organizers reserve the right to refuse any work that does not match the slides submitted to the jury.
