You are invited to make a Christmas quilt.
You are encouraged to find a new and interesting way to interpret the Christmas spirit.
It can be funny, beautiful, inspirational; modern, traditional or art.
The challenge is to use any color combination EXCEPT red and green.
- You may use either red or green but not together. That means no Christmas fabric that is red and green.
- Minimum size 160” perimeter. You could make a wall hanging, lap quilt or something of your choice.
- Must be quilted and. bound or pillowcase edge.
We are charging a $5 fee to enter and that will be the Grand Prize. 2nd and 3rd places will receive ribbons.
Participants will be asked to bring their completed quilts to the Christmas Party on December 7th where the show and viewer choice judging will take place.
Sign up at a guild meeting with Marilou; pay with cash or check.
