Challenge Quilt

Every year the Challenge Quilt Committee presents guild members with a test of quilting creativity and skill! The Challenge Quilt is an opportunity for members to get outside of their comfort zones and work with new different fabrics, colors, and skills they aren't used to. Challenge Quilts will be presented at our October meeting and members will award prizes to the best quilts. If you are interested in signing up, please contact the Challenge Quilt committee chair.
