Our Vision:

To foster the art of quilting and to encourage, through education, a high standard of design and technique in all its various forms.

PSQG members are welcome to participate in this fun challenge. A $5 fee and completion of the form will get you registered. The deadline for these small quilts will be a couple of days before the show; a more specific date will be forthcoming. At the show there will be a display of these quilts and visitors will be able to admire them and vote for their favorite. Winners will receive a small cash prize, ribbon, and bragging rites!

The Challenge

Design:

  1. Participant will choose a card from the PSQG deck. Only one of each card will be used. Participant may choose any card remaining in the deck at time of registration.
  • This card is your ‘inspiration.’ The quilt does not have to ‘look’ like the card. It is to be ‘inspired’ by the card.
  • Cards can be traded for any remaining card at any time prior to September 2024.
  • Contact Ruthann Heidgerken or Barb Vlack to swap or obtain a card.
  1. All quilts must measure 18” wide and 28” long.

  1. Must have rounded corners.

  1. Embellishments may not extend past the edges of the quilt.

Techniques:  Quilt must be a three-layer sandwiched quilt and must be quilted. Any construction technique may be used. Machine and/or handwork is fine.

 

Hanging Sleeve: The quilt must have a hanging sleeve.

Questions: Ruthann Heidgerken or Barb Vlack
