Diane Neal Birthday Project 2010!!
Hello one and all it is that time of year again, fall is here and Diane's birthday is just around the corner. Each year, as you know, we like to do something fun and different and I think this year we have come up with the BEST idea yet.
We all know Diane is a crazy Star Wars fan right? and the woman owns a boat load of things Star Wars related and we figured we can't go wrong with a project that is Star Wars. She will love it no matter what AND it will be something she can not buy in the stores...it's perfect
The project: A photo quilt with photos submitted by all of you that are Star Wars related.
How will this work you ask? let me tell you.
1) You can color, photoshop, use a screencap or design a photo that is 1000pixel x 1000pixels (it needs to be square since I will be ironing the photos onto a square piece of fabric and we need them the best possible quality)
Be creative. if you wanna dress up like a Star Wars character and have that photo on the quilt GO.FOR.IT. we love awesome nerds because well...Diane is an awesome nerd.
If you do a coloring page you can either scan it once you have colored it OR take a picture of it and then email to us. The you can either sign the bottom of the photo so it can be included on the fabric OR we can add your name for you and use the Star Wars font...it is up to you.
We will then iron on the photos to a white piece of fabric. It will then be paired with a black piece of fabric and so for example:
photo fabric, black fabric, photo fabric, black fabric and so on to make the quilt.
here is a photo of a quilt I have made before (now just imagine that every other square is a photo that each and every one of you send in to us)
I (Kristin) will then be sewing the pieces together to make the quilt. The more people who participate the bigger the quilt will be and we would love for it to be this massive quilt that she can curl up in when she watches movies because who wouldnt wanna watch Star Wars in a very awesome quilt that all of her fans were a part of?
2) If you want to send Diane a birthday card let us know via DM or email and we can send you our address and it will be given to Diane when we give her the quilt. If Diane is back on the east coast we will give her the gift in person and if she is still in LA we will mail her everything
Deadline:
*We need all photos for the quilt emailed to us by Nov. 1st (I will need some time for all the ironing plus the actual sewing)
*We need to RECIEVE all the birthday cards by Nov. 10th!
READY? GET CREATIVE!!!
