President's Challenge

History:
Starting in 2018, our president Sue P. issued a challenge for all members. The challenge is completely voluntary. The very first one was the "UFO Challenge" in which you had to sign up any time during the year with a picture of the "UnFinished Object" and description of what was left to be done. The Challenge was issued in January and members had nearly an entire year to complete it. Finished projects were brought for show and share at the December Christmas party. All who completed the challenge were awarded jelly rolls as prizes and those who didn't were award a boobie prize! Fun was had by all. The challenge was repeated in 2019 with the "Jelly Roll" challenge. Anyone could participate even if they did not receive a jelly roll the previous year. A lot of beautiful quilts were created from all those jelly rolls! Click here for the 2019 jelly roll quilts.
2020:
Our current President Merdie has also issued a challenge to be completed over the year. Again, the quilts will be presented at the Christmas party.
The 2020 challenge is the "Stash Challenge". The rule is to make a baby or lap size quilt using only fabric from your stash (no buying fabric for this). By doing this size they can be donated to Community Service if desired, but is not mandatory. So dig through your stashes, ladies and get to quilting!!
The challenge is over and the final quilts have been sent here to be posted due to the pandemic and our lack of meeting physically this year. Click here for the 2020 Stash Challenge.
2021:
Our new president, Dianna has issued a challenge to be completed over the course of this year. The finished quilts will be due in December at our Christmas party. They must be fully quilted and bound. There is no need to sign up; there will be no walk of shame! Dianna will check in in August to see how many are participating.
THE CHURN DASH CHALLENGE:
The challenge is to use the Churn Dash block (very old traditional block--google it!). You need to use at least one recognizable churn dash block in your quilt. It can be any size or shape (that's a clue). Think out of the box or not to make an innovative quilt using this block as your inspiration. If you go rogue, it must be recognizable somewhere in the quilt! Good luck and have fun!!
