Take the WOW Challenge!
The theme for our first club challenge since 2019 is “ Words of Wisdom”. Create a small quilt based on words that inspire you. Those may be inspirational, humorous, family sayings or something from your imagination. No text on the front. Keep your inspiration a secret!
It’s not too late to start. The registration table will be open at every meeting from now until May 29th when the entries are due. Stop by and get your entry bag which includes an entry form, a copy of the requirements and the 2 crayons whose colors need to be included in your quilt, “A word to the wise is sufficient”. You won’t want to miss the fun.
Club members will vote on their favorite in June. Winners will be exhibited at the Quilt Show in July.
