Floriography | Entries due by December 5, 2023   

A dense wildflower field is filled with green stems and leaves topped with yellow, red, purple, white and blue flowers.

Floriography is the language of flowers, and every flower has something to say if you stop and listen! 

Flowers have a rich history in symbolism and even medicine across many cultures. This week you’re encouraged to find inspiration beyond your favorite blooms and think about what your botanical designs are saying. Imagine how your design would be featured in floral fabric projects or wild walls.  

Entries will be previewed on a Fat Quarter, cropped to an 18×18” square from the bottom left corner. Submissions close December 5 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Voting begins December 7. Winners will be announced December 14. See official rules.

Block Print-Inspired | Entries due by December 12, 2023  

Close up, top-down view of a hand pushing a brayer to ink a carved linoleum block printing block with pale yellow ink. To the right there is a small strip of dark gray fabric printed with a pale-yellow pattern, peeking out from under the linoleum block.

Create a design that embodies the timeless style and handmade texture of block printing. 

Block printing combines texture and precision, resulting in sophisticated repeating patterns that have the power to elevate any space. This week’s challenge presents you with the opportunity to draw from traditional motifs or infuse modern elements into a new block print-inspired design. Imagine your design being used on wallpaper, upholstery fabric and home decor. 

Entries will be previewed on a Fat Quarter, cropped to an 18×18” square from the bottom left corner. Submissions close December 12 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Voting begins December 14. Winners will be announced December 21. See official rules.
