Ginger Alexander and Cindy Albright are co-chairing our Challenge for 2025.

Challenge Quilt 2025 – Favorite Childhood Book

1. Quilts for the 2025 Challenge can be any size–wall hanging or larger.
2. There are few rules to depict your favorite childhood book. Stretch your skills by using any technique you’d like to try–applique’, piecing, painting, using panels with embellishment. Use colors you feel brings the flavor and emotion of the book to the quilt.
3. They must be quilted and bound before submission.  If quilting and/or binding is done by a different person, that will be considered as a group project and should be so noted on the entry form for the challenge.  These quilts will be eligible for judging and if chosen, the award is to be shared by the group.
4. The entries will be judged at the September guild meeting. 
5. The 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners will enter their quilt in our 2025 quilt show.

The 2024 winners were chosen by members. First Place was Cindy Albright.

Second place winner was Sharon Crozier.

Third Place Winner was Peggy Moody for her hand-quilted quilt.
