| CURRENT CHALLENGES President's Challenge 2021 Take4 Many traditional quilt blocks have been around for decades. And there are dozens we're all familiar with like Sun Bonnet Sue, log cabin and Dresden plate. Well, now's your chance to pick a traditional quilt pattern and see what it would look like in the 21st century! Take your favorite quilt block and interpret it four ways! Some idea for other approaches you might take: Modernize it, add embellishments, crazy quilt it, fracture the block, collage, repeat, fuse in different materials, distort the image, simplify it, complicate it, etc. Assemble your four 12" blocks into a square or strung out lengthwise or vertically. The only restriction is that the original traditional block need to be recognizable in some form in each panel. More information available here. Due at the November guild meeting President's Challenge 2020 Quilter's House This year's challenge will be to use you imagination to create a 3-dimensional quilter's house. Feel free to customize your building any way you want: enlarge it, expand it or turn it into a totally different construction. It can be anything from a bird house or gingerbread house to a light house or castle. Use any technique you're comfortable with and make it was real or fanciful as you like. Your construction will be judged by the membership at the November meeting with 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes awarded. The charming village created will be displayed with the raffle quilt at next year's quilt show.
