Quilt Show Challenge
We hope you will want to participate in this fun project for the quilt show. Here are the details provided by Karri who is organizing this event. All projects registered and handed in will be on display at the show.
Guild Challenge 2024 – 'Anything Goes'
The Challenge:
- Purchase a fat quarter from the Guild for $5 - When you submit your ‘Anything Goes’ guild challenge project in our October 2024 Guild Show, you will receive your $5 back. If you don’t complete your challenge project, you will have purchased a lovely fat quarter.
The Rules:
- ‘Anything Goes’: Create whatever you want – quilts, bags, journals, containers, etc. – the sky’s the limit. Choose any technique, add any embellishments, include any additional fabrics. Quilts must have a hanging sleeve; other items will be displayed on a table.
- Size/Dimensions: Not to exceed a total circumference of 100 inches.
- You must use the whole fat quarter, easily identifiable in your project. (no hiding as a backing).
The Submission:
- Attach a label with your name on it, and then cover it over with pinned or loosely basted fabric.
- You will fill out a registration form for the ‘Anything Goes’ Guild Challenge. Think about including how you came up with your design, how the fat quarter influenced your project, how you featured the Challenge Fabric, etc.
Happy Creating

Raffle Baskets -
The Basket Raffles are a great fundraiser for our guild. The more donated items we have the more baskets we can make. We would like to have a minimum of 6 in total. Any gently used item is welcome including all fat quarters. These items can be brought to the guild meetings and placed in the blue box. Items will be collected right up to the October meeting. Please be generous.
Consignment and Boutique Table Sales -
The guild will be having a consignment boutique at the quilt show. All items for sale must be clearly marked with your name, guild number and price.
The guild will collect a 20% commission on all consignment sales. We will accept quilts, wall hangings, quilt related items, quilting tools, books and magazines. If you are selling fabric, small and medium pieces must be bagged and marked with your name, guild number and price. Larger pieces of fabric can be folded and tagged as per instructions.
Items for sale are to be brought to the church Friday morning. It is suggested that you bring your items in a tote or box for ease of handling.
Donated items will also be accepted please also price these items.
We hope you will do some sorting in your sewing room to find items for donation to the boutique table. You can also make small items to be donated if you wish.
