"Try Something New" Challenge
Join us once again for a "Try Something New" Challenge! This is the perfect opportunity to learn and grow as a quilter!
How it works:
● Pick a technique, pattern, or material you have never used before.
● Make a mini-quilt, block, or full project that showcases this new skill.
● Bring your finished piece to show off at our Show & Tell in January.
● Earn a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize!
Need ideas? Think about trying foundation paper piecing, sewing with curves, trying a new binding technique, or using a new color palette.
Questions? Text or email Enid Martindale or Tammi Fiedler.

UFO Challenge
UFOs (UnFinished Objects) in quilting refers
to any unfinished project, from a pile of fabric waiting to be cut to a quilt
top awaiting final steps like quilting and binding. To participate in the UFO challenge,
complete a 2026/2027 UFO form and turn it in at the project table. Forms are
available to print online or can be picked up at the project table starting in
October.
As you complete your UFOs, show them at the monthly “Show
& Tell” and come to the project table to mark your item off on your list.
If you forget to add a UFO, don’t worry! You can add them as you come across
them. The last meeting to show a UFO for 2025/2026 will be the August 2026
meeting. Winners will be announced at the September meeting.

FAT QUARTER RAFFLE
For the Fat Quarter Raffle, drop your Fat Quarter at the Guild Project table before the meeting starts. For each fat quarter you drop off that meets the theme, you will receive one ticket.
By definition, a fat quarter is 18 inches x 22 inches, so
please be sure each fat quarter you turn in meets this size requirement. During
the meeting, a ticket will be drawn and the winner will receive all the fat
quarters. Please be sure any Fat Quarters you bring for the exchange are 100% cotton intended for quilting.
If you have any questions please text or email Enid Martindale or Tammi Fielder.
