Quilting is an ever-evolving art and craft. By staying in touch with the styles, techniques, and materials of the industry,
the art form continues to grow, and your knowledge grows, too.

A Ruby Jubilee (Forty and Counting) is the theme of the 2020 Challenge. A challenge is issued each year, and members are given a brief list of instructions, a theme, and a deadline. Awards are presented at the guild meeting designated for the big reveal. If enough challenge quilts match the criteria for the AQS Challenge at their Michigan show, a vote or judging determines which quilts will be submitted to AQS. Click the red fabric image above for details about the Challenge.
Charity Workdays are scheduled monthly, and members donate their time and talents creating kits or quilts for other members to complete. These quilts are designated for a variety of organizations or groups of individuals who will benefit from the compassionate and caring nature stitched into these quilts. Check the calendar for the time and location of the workdays. Click the image above for any pattern that may be needed for these quilts.
The Quilt Show Boutique will always welcome your contributions of small quilts or small handmade items to add to the inventory. Occasional patterns or directions will be linked to the boutique image above, but you are always welcome to do whatever you wish. A list of suggestions and directions will be added soon.
