The President’s Challenge this year is to create a quilt inspired by a book.  Even though the book may have been made into a movie, there are usually differences, so bear that in mind and focus on the book.  The perimeter should be a minimum of 72” (that’s only 18” on a side, for instance, but can be as large as you’d like). Bring quilts to be judged at the Holiday Party in December. Pictures of the completed quilts along with a description of how it represents the chosen book are due Dec. 4 to Alberta Dalke. Categories are: Best Meets the Challenge; Members Choice; President’s Choice.

The challenge for 2023 is to create a quilt that uses two different striped fabrics and a dotted/spotted fabric.  Use at least a charm square (5"x5" square) of each fabric (cut as you like, ok to square up) in your quilt. Quilt/wall hanging size requirement: 72" or larger perimeter, such as 18" square or larger, 16"x20" or larger, etc. There are three categories: Best Meets the Challenge (best quilt with at least the minimum amount of the three required fabrics that meets size requirement); President’s Choice (favorite based on personal taste); Members’ Choice (favorite based on personal taste).  Photos & a description of your quilt are due Tuesday, November 28, 2023; judging is planned for the December 16, 2023 meeting (update from previous 12/6). Please plan to bring/send your quilt in a plain brown bag (or similar) to the meeting for anonymous display prior to the slide show judging.  This way members at the in-person meeting can see and evaluate the quilts in all their glory, and members over zoom can still participate in the voting.
