I’ve recently started attending the Pine Needle Quilters’ Guild as part of cultivating the Top Ten habits I outlined here. A lovely group of about twenty ladies who meet monthly and share what they’ve been doing that’s quilt-related.
They held their first challenge this month and the show was Tuesday night. Most of the ladies make traditional quilts, so what you’re about to see demonstrates how much they flexed their creative muscles for this challenge. Click on the photo below to go to a slide show of the entries, noting those winning Viewer’s Choice and Best Use of Focus Fabric. Can you guess which one is mine? (Hint: it wasn’t an award winner.)
Maria! You have a fantastic website!(I’ve added it to my “favorites”) Thanks so much for the latest “view the quilt guild challenge” ! I’m very sick with pneumonia and did not get to the viewing nor enter my quilt, so seeing your report was awesome! I would not change a thing on your website! I love it! {Hope to see you at the viewing at Sew Memorable next week…I only had the binding left to finish my challenge quilt when I got sick so I’ll call Jeanne this weekend and see if she wants to show it at her shop next Tuesday.) Keep up the good work! Sincerely,Kathy Humphries
I am proud to be an active member of this wonderful group of ladies. the challenge made each of us “think out of the Box”! It was difficult for most of the ladies including my self but it did what a Challenge is intended to do. The results are amazing! what a talented bunch of ladies! Thank you Maria for this presentation! And I loved your entry as well. Sally
It is so exciting to see my quilt on line in your blog!!!! This is a wonderful site, and I’ll be back to see other cool stuff you showcase. But, there are only 13 of the original 15 represented, did they opt out? Thanks for sharing our challenge in this way. Susan
Oops! I accidentally left out the adorable tote bag that was #5! Please accept my apologies and know that it now appears first in the slideshow and all 15 entries are represented. Thanks Susan!
