2026 Guild Challenge

“Cancer Awareness” 

Cancer has many forms and affects people in many ways. Some of you have lost loved ones to cancer. Some of you have struggled with cancer yourself. Some of you have supported or are currently supporting those with cancer. Whatever your story is – this is an opportunity to express how cancer has affected you in a creative way. To tell your story. To show your support. To raise awareness.

Rules:

- Create a quilt or quilted item using “cancer awareness” as the theme.

- Quilts can be any size.

- One quilt per participant.

- Any quilting method/technique may be used.

- Quilts made in 2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026 will be accepted.

- Quilts will be voted on during the October 2026 guild meeting. 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners will be displayed at the November 2026 Quilt Show.

UFO Challenge 

UFOs (UnFinished Objects) in quilting refers to any unfinished project, from a pile of fabric waiting to be cut to a quilt top awaiting final steps like quilting and binding. To participate in the UFO challenge, complete a 2025/2026 UFO form and turn it in at the project table. Forms are available to print online or can be picked up at the project table starting in October.

As you complete your UFOs, show them at the monthly “Show & Tell” and come to the project table to mark your item off on your list. If you forget to add a UFO, don’t worry! You can add them as you come across them. The last meeting to show a UFO for 2025/2026 will be the August 2026 meeting. Winners will be announced at the September meeting.

FAT QUARTER RAFFLE

For the Fat Quarter Raffle, drop your Fat Quarter at the Guild Project table before the meeting starts. For each fat quarter you drop off that meets the theme, you will receive one ticket.

By definition, a fat quarter is 18 inches x 22 inches, so please be sure each fat quarter you turn in meets this size requirement. During the meeting, a ticket will be drawn and the winner will receive all the fat quarters.  Please be sure any Fat Quarters you bring for the exchange are 100% cotton intended for quilting.  

If you have any questions please text or email Rene Bennett.
