Events and Ongoing Guild Projects
Challenge Project
The challenge this year is called “Self Portrait”. The size is 22″ square. It does not have to be a picture of your face, but it can be. It can be about your “essence” or personality; what makes you tick, etc. It can be any format (pieced, applique, paint, etc.) as long as it end up being a little quilt. It’s all about you! Make it funny, poignant, sweet, whatever you are, as long as it is a 22″ square quilt about you. The challenge will be voted on at the Guild Christmas Party, with prizes awarded for first, second and third place.
