This is just in from Owen Calverley, organizer of the International Quilt Convention Africa which will be held July 27-29 in Johannesburg, South Africa, about the Dreams Challenge:
Hello IQCAfrica fans
Entries for the Dreams quilt challenge officially closed on 1 May. Since then however, we have been receiving frantic calls and emails from quilters who missed the deadline. Rather than have UFO’s lying all over Africa, we have extended the deadline until Tuesday 15 May.
The following is addressed to all quilters living in Africa:
If your entry is almost finished or even only just begun, you have another 12 days to get it ready and photographed! Just in case you missed the notice, the Dreams exhibition will be also going to France in September for exhibition at the very prestigious European Patchwork Meeting. After IQCAfrica 2012 we will pack up the entire collection of Dreams quilts and personally escort them to France. Will one of YOUR quilts be one of them??
Before sending your entry, check the rules and requirements here to save yourself and us much time and agony: http://iqcafrica.ning.com/page/quilt-challenge
Send your entries to: challenge@iqcafrica.com – we are watching that mailbox for your entry!
Best wishes
The IQCAfrica Team
