Quilting Olympics! Entries for competitions here!

[Norma H.]

You people are the most crazy I know. Thanks for a good laugh. I love you all.
I'm in the Wrestling with a big quilt in a small machine right now. Does that count?

Yes Norma, that would have to be in the 'extreme sports' category! :lol:

And I think that Margo would have to win the gold medal in the 'International Lifesaving' category. :lol:

[Rita C.]

Beach Volleyball with balls hand-crafted by the teams
String-piecing marathon
Wrestling with large quilt in small domestic machine harp
Fabric stash folding
Loudest 'Woohoos'

And I volunteer to represent TQS in the discipline of Rotary Cutter Tossing.

Lorchen is a WILD woman!! :shock:

If she does that I think we all need to chip in and purchase a uniform for her made out of that stuff those rotary cutter safety gloves are made out of. I think someone should design a uniform with our Star and letters TQS. Where are the former garment designers among us?

We could either go old-fashioned and make it from ring mail (still used in industrial butchery I believe) or we could come up-to-date with kevlar. the advantages of kevlar is that it wouldn't leave nicks on the blades!

I should think that Elenor Burns has the lifetime gold for scrap shoulder tossing :wink:

[Cath P.]

Its the quilting Pentathlon for me, a little sewing each day, day after day until the last event - some fmq! Patience as the suspense builds to the final day!

[Cath P.]

Alex would be a lifetime gold for doing hand quilting sprint since she boasts about doing a quilt in 2 days.

Ricky would be a lifetime gold for strip ripping.

[Cath P.]

How about the 'Sychronised Convergence quilting'?

[Hannelore N.]

Moi?? Wild??? ..... Never!!

I'm an almost 60-year-old grandmother who has just bought a 'fascinator' for her son's wedding. That makes me soooo well-behaved and conservative.

A couple late entries for the TQS Olympics: 800m fabric bolt hurdling, and quilt frame high jump.

Photos, Lorchen!! We need photos!! You've only got a couple of weeks to practice wearing it!! :wink:

[Hannelore N.]

Please, be patient. You'll get photos after the 19th.

[Hannelore N.]

I want to be far away from the rotary cutter throwing--thank you very much ;o)

[Mary H.]

How about bobbin winding marathon.

Absolutely! I'm fascinated to see it!

[Hannelore N.]

Will the bobbin winding be done by hand or by machine??? And what size bobbins are allowed? Will we all have to use the same thread?? And would I be disqualified for doping if I eat a bar of chocolate before the event starts??

[Rita C.]

Lets just put the doping to rest her and agree that everybody has to have chocolate before they begin in any event! :lol:

How about spool-toss?

[karen f.]

Lorchen! You got the fascinator?! I can't wait to see it.
