2022 Challenge Group is Wednesday, January 26th at 2:30 pm! This year's Challenge is ALL about FRIENDSHIP! Julie was at the store yesterday picking out fabric for her group's Friendship Challenge, and as she was telling me about this....I just knew we had to borrow her idea and do this in the store! (I have tweaked a few things.) Thank you Julie so much for sharing and for saying we could piggy back off your group's challenge idea for 2022! Ok, so here you go:This group is a committment for 11 months, January through November and you have to committ to showing up and being ready every 4th Wednesday of the month. If you cannot be at the meetings but want to participate, you can drop off, pick up, mail and have mailed the requirements every month. Please communicate this with me at time of registration.
This group is limited to 12 people...once it is full, it is full.
At the first meeting, bring 5 different fabrics of 1 yard cuts each in the color wave you would like to make your quilt in. These 5 different fabrics will be used in the blocks that are made throughout the year. There can be no additions once you submit your 5-1 yard each fabrics. Example, Julie chose blues, yellows, and greens for her color wave and we picked out five bolts of fabric. From those five bolts, we cut one yard each...so she has 5 yards of fabric that will be used in the blocks all year.
At the first meeting, we will pass out our fabric color wave to someone in the group. They will go home, and over the course of the next month, will make their favorite block from the 5 fabrics they were given. Block size is 12 1/2" unfinished.
Then the next month, they will return, give their block to their friend, and be given a new color wave. And so it goes.
Confused? That's ok, I was too at first, but it really will work....
In November, you will have 12 blocks that are 12 1/2" unfinished, and then you can finish your quilt and bring back next January 2023 for show and tell.
This will be your Friendship Quilt to remember 2022!
Because there is a committment to show up and get your blocks done monthly, and others are depending on your timeliness, the cost to participate in the group is $60 at time of registration. Each month that you come back to the store (even if you drop off early or mail your items and they arrive int the store by the 4th Wednesday) you will get $5 back. Key wording to get your $5 back, is it has to be in the store by the 4th Wednesday of each month, because that is our meeting date. I hope we have no money left over come January 2023, but if we do, we will use it for snacks and beverages.
This group is NOT recommended for beginning quilters.
