Window View
Challenge 2010-2011 Challenge
The theme
for our challenge this year is “A
View through a Window.”
Close your eyes and picture a special view you had on vacation, at the
seaside, a special family gathering, a dream, or an original scene that you
want to create. The view can be from the inside of a place out the window
or from the outside looking in.
General Guidelines:
1. The
frame of the window must show similar to the samples on this page.
2.Size:
the perimeter would be from 48 inches (12 inch square) to 240 inches
(lap quilt 60 X 60 inches). As an example: the 4 sides must not add up to
less than 48 in., nor more than 240 inches.
3. The project could be a small
wall hanging, a purse, tote bag, vest, table runner, a lap quilt or
something else you would like to make. It
must be a finished item.
4. Completed quilts will be shown
at the September 2011 meeting.
5. Entry fee is $10 and
participants will receive something special at the September 2011 meeting.
If you would like to participate,
please see Cate Brodeur at the monthly meetings to register.

Special Note
About Workshops: You are allowed to sign up for any of our scheduled
workshops beginning in September. The $10 workshop fee is non-refundable
and payable upon registration. All Workshops require at least eight
(8) people minimum for the workshop to go forward. To hold your spot in the workshop, you
must pay your $10.00 fee at the time that you register, simply putting your
name on the list is not enough. The
$10.00 is non-refundable, unless the class is canceled by the guild. This policy is in place to assure that
the teacher of the workshop is getting enough students to make the workshop
worth the time and preparation required.
Outreach
- Our guild has given away over 400 quilts to many deserving causes.
Members donate their time, materials, and even completed quilt tops.
Outreach
has presented us with a new project: Make a cheerful pillowcase for a
child who is sick with cancer or another serious illness. Directions
for making a standard-size pillowcase.
Please see our special outreach page
for more information and for pictures.
