QUILT SHOW CHALLENGESDo you need some inspiration for your next project? Consider participating in one of our quilt show challenges! See below for guidelines for each of this year's challenges. Completed projects should be entered into the quilt show in the category for the particular challenge. Entries are displayed together at the quilt show and viewer's choice ribbons awarded for each challenge category. It is a lot of fun to see how each person has interpreted the challenge! If you have any questions about a challenge, contact the appropriate chair listed below. |

2027 PASS THE ENVELOPECHAIR: KATHY CALLAHAN
The first person in the chain gets an inspiration photograph and makes a 9" x 11" inch quilt based on their interpretation of the photo. The next person in the chain never sees the photograph but uses the quilt they receive from the person before them in the chain as their inspiration for their quilt. The chain continues, as each person uses the quilt of the person before them as the inspiration for their quilt. Each person in the chain has one month to complete their project before passing it to the next person. This is very fun to do and is not as time consuming as making a larger quilt. |
This challenge is similar to the childhood game of "Telephone" and is worked in a chain.
