This year's theme has been announced and QueeniePatch has all the details on her blog, plus she has already finished her block! You really need to check out her blog, but here are some basics, including a few changes from the past (size and date mainly) ---
For anyone who wants to send in and donate a block to this charity quilt project, here are the rules:
one block per person
15 cm x 15 cm for the motif, add a seam allowance of 1-2 cm on all sides
flimsy block, i.e. no wadding, no quilting
your name should be written with pen in the seam allowance of the lower right hand corner
your block should have reached NHK by 31st July, 2016
enclose a note with your name, address, tel no, email address
send to:
Partnership Quilt NHK Sutekini Handmade 2-2-1 Jinnan Shibuya-ku
Tokyo 150-8001 Japan
You can get information on this project and see all of the lovely blocks she has made over the years on her NHK page. Yes, I plan to make a block this year. How about you? Let's make this festival more international with all of our blocks!
Thanks for sharing, Queenie has great projects, I'll consider joining in the fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you for spreading the word, Pamela! I hope to see more blocks sent in from overseas.
