Our talented member, Kristi, has worked to create an interesting Challenge Project this year. Get those creative juices flowing, and enjoy the challenge of interpreting a song title as a form of textile art! Kristi provides a few project guidelines, and signups will be held at the September and October meetings. It only costs $5 to join the fun, and the challenge entries will be revealed and voted upon at the March 2026 meeting. The top vote recipient will receive a cash prize!
Our talented member, Celeste, has once again designed a mystery quilt in 3 sizes - wall, twin, and queen - and will reveal it in 3 sets of instructions to participating members during the months of September/October, November, and December. The cost to participate is $5, and that money will be used for prizes that will be awarded to randomly selected participants that complete their quilt top and show at the reveal in May. Sign-ups for the 2025-26 Mystery Quilt will take place at our September and October Guild Meetings.
On behalf of the members of the guild, we send an appropriate note and gift to a guild member who has something to celebrate, such as a marriage or a birth, or something unfortunate has happened, such as a major illness, hospitalization or the death of a family member.
We all could use a little sunshine!
Available for our members to get together and quilt with others from our guild!
