Challenge


What Is "The Guild Challenge?"

The Land o' Lakes Quilt Guild has a "Guild Challenge" each year. A committee comes up with a theme and guidelines for guild members to follow when creating a quilt to enter in The Challenge. The finished quilts are brought to the December guild meeting and displayed on racks and clotheslines. It's like our own private quilt show! Guild members and a couple of local judges vote on their favorites and ribbons are awarded to the winners. The "challenge" for some of us is to see if we can win a ribbon, but for many of us, the challenge is to see if we can get our quilts finished!

      UFO CHALLENGE-(this is on-going) It’s time to clean out that closet again! Make a list of those unfinished projects that are hanging over your head. Clear your conscious of those purchases you just had to have and haven’t gotten around to yet because you found something else to make. Join us for the 2nd Annual UFO Challenge.

      How it works: -Bring a list of unfinished projects with your name and phone number to the March or April meeting. -For each item on your list, bring a Moda Marble fat quarter to put in the drawing. - Finish your project by November 2007 meeting. -Bring each finished project to the UFO table to be checked off your list. (finished means quilted and bound) Show it off in Show ‘n Tell. (not a requirement). -Fill out a ticket for each finished project and put in basket. -Drawing will be held at the November meeting. Five bundles of 31 fat quarters each were given last year. All winners are participating again this year. You can even win more than once.
