2016 has been a difficult year for Fandom. As we grieve, we'd like to invite you to honor two of our beloved lost celebrities the best way we know how: with quilts.
We invite you to participate as we remember George Michael & Carrie Fisher by designing and sharing your own themed quilt patterns to be posted on fandominstitches.com.
Any size, any design style (hand embroidered, applique, paper pieced...) is welcome.
George Michael-inspired patterns are due on January 13 and will be posted on January 14, 2017.
Carrie Fisher-inspired patterns are due on January 20 and will be posted on January 21, 2017.
Would you like to remember another celebrity from a fandom you love? Please feel free to do so anytime and we will share your pattern as quickly as we can.
As always, all Fandom in Stitches patterns are fan-created and free for personal & non-profit use only.
This is the end: Design Invitational patterns post tomorrow!

This month's prize is an autographed copy of Stories in Sepia by author Linda Lowery. More by Linda on Amazon!
Each month, Fandom In Stitches gives away a Flickr prize for general participation.
How do you win one of our fabulous prizes? It's easy! Share photos of your blocks and other projects you have made using Fandom In Stitches patterns with our Flickr group! You receive one entry for each project! Only photos posted to Flickr are eligible to win.
Why share via Flickr? It's the best way for me to post your photos right here on fandominstitiches.com! Every Tuesday, we have a virtual show & tell called Tuesday Photos so everyone following along can see an entire week's picture in one place every Tuesday.
Would you like to be a sponsor in 2016? Sponsors give away a single monthly prize and we link to your website or store the entire month of your sponsorship. Prizes need to be fandom-themed, fabric, or something that a FiS community member would enjoy.
Email Jennifer to sponsor a month in 2016!
Only projects made from patterns available on fandominstitches.com will be shared here.
Designers & pattern testers, your blocks will be featured in "new on Fandom In Stitches." Please wait to post test blocks until they have been featured on fandominstitches.com. Thanks!
