My birthday is in November, and I love a palette of rainbow colors.

Designed for clubEQ, January, 2010: Calendar quilts.

My anniversary is in April, so I used wedding floral motifs for this calendar.

This quilt is on a custon layout. July has a number of birthdays in our family, So I used the "birthday cake" in the library and added extra candles. Th lone star is a celebration and the blue flowers for July.

September is our wedding month so I used the Double Wedding Ring block from Block Base (302). The heart was added on Level 2.
The calendar was made with a 7 x 7 grid adapted, with the frame added with Serindipidy . The days were added on layer 2.
The colours are some of my favourites.

The photo of the cat asleep on the dog's shoulders is one I harvested from an email. When the calendar quilt was finished, I exported it to 'Paint' and filled the background with a nifty dark green color.

I do use a calendar as my wallpaper or background but I draw them directly in the 'Paint' program that comes with Windows. I prefer to keep the calendar restricted to half or smaller portion of the monitor screen. That leaves the rest of the area for large icons. This one for September 2010 fits the bill nicely.

Nothing original here except the one-block border I drew.

This challenge was fun to do.

Our anniversary is in October so I designed my calendar for that month. If I were making this for real, I'd design it with a sleeve in the bottom half so that I could slip a paper calendar into it and change the months as needed.

I'm an autumn baby, born on 3 October. I love the time of year when the leaves change colour and in good years this stretches into early October for my birthday!

Guildford, England

I thought it would be fun to bring an international theme to my challenge, so as I am English, my calendar page is celebrating the birthday of our Queen. Although Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April in 1926, her birthday is actually officially celebrated in Britain on the 3rd Saturday in June each year - I have no idea why, other than perhaps the "real" date clashes with our Easter holiday.

In July 2010 there is a total solar eclipse visible in some parts of the world. I will be fortunate enough to be on a tiny atoll in the Pacific to see this spectacle, so I thought it was worthy of a calendar entry.

My very rough representation of an eclipse is a modified version of an EQ contemporary applique block 'Curly Flower with Centre'.

Perth Western Australia

January 26 is Australia Day. The flag, the sea and the first few lines from "Advance Australia Fair", our national anthem, are all depicting this. Even the choice of blue and yellow for the border is to represent the sunshine and blue skies to be expected just about anywhere in Australia in January.

This was a fun challenge, building a calendar.

I have not participated in the challenges for many years now due to time element, but this one sparked an interest that I could not put down until I finished the project.
