Fast Friday Fabric Challenge 96, August

Challenge Hostess: Catherine

Title: September Holidays
Theme: Celebrate a Holiday!
Technique: Any
Due date: Aug. 30, 2014
Theme:
"Congratulations! You have been
chosen to create a poster for one of the holidays celebrated during the month
of September. Browse through the lists and when you see a holiday that
catches your eye, tugs at your heart or simply tickles your funny bone, let
your imagination and creativity loose to run wild.
Techniques:
Anything goes for this challenge! Use
bright colors or somber, an abstract design or a very realistic one. Let
the "mood" of the holiday you chose tell you in which direction to
go, no matter how quirky that direction may be! You may choose any holiday
that you like, whether it's a monthly, weekly or daily observance. All I
ask is that it grabs the viewer's attention and truly represents the meaning of
the holiday.
Words are optional on your poster, if you can convey the meaning
of the holiday without them, that's fine, although I would be interested in
seeing unique ways to add them if you choose to do so.
The only real requirement for this challenge is that you have fun
doing it!

As you may imagine, it is a bit hard to find art or quilts to serve
as inspiration for this challenge, but I have found a few to share with you. Of
course these are all not so fast quilts to make, but they are just to inspire!
This would be great for Read a Book Day...you'll need to scroll
down to see it, the second quilt:

And if none of
the September “holidays” appeal to you, make up your own!
And
one more thing: have fun with this! :)
