2021 Park Photos |
During the Covid pandemic in 2020 and 2021, we ran our monthly meetings virtually, not coming back in person until August 2021. During the spring and summer of 2021, we meet at two locals parks and had a professional photographer take pictures of us and our quilts. Photography by Angela Armstrong, @todd_studios. |
2022 Challenges |
Swap Fabric Placement Challenge
June 2022-November 2022
Using the fabrics you received during the guild swap or fabrics from your stash, you will create one block style three different ways by changing the placement of your chosen fabrics. Creations will be shared at the November meeting. All the details are here.
"Inspired" Fabric Swap
April-June 2022
Bring a Fat Quarter of fabric that inspires you to the April meeting. You will swap that inspiration fabric with another member after a fun ‘get to know you’ activity and mixer at the meeting. Your inspiration Fat Quarter will be returned to you at the June meeting along with three more coordinating quilt shop quality Fat Quarters selected by your swap partner. You can then choose to use those four fabrics in the challenge to be announced in June!
The Fabric Placement challenge has come to an end. Thank you to the committee for bringing this to life. Prize winners for participating: Barb Phelps, Terry Darling, Gail McCarthy, and Megan Smith. Congratulations!
