Guild Challege 2022

Fiber State of Mind
Choose a state, any state. It might be the state where you were born, have lived, a state you have traveled to or would like to visit, a state with beautiful scenery and/or fun attractions.

Once you have chosen a state, you can draw inspiration from the state flag, bird, animal, scenery, song, etc. Let your creative juices flow! Then turn your imaginative inspired idea into a fiber project. We encourage creative stories to tie your project to a state.

Reveal your project at the November meeting.

The February 2022 monthly program was a Quilt Show & Tell.
​ 
​There were many beautiful quilts on display. The origin stories were heartwarming, and the time and workmanship put into each one is amazing. Thank you to all who shared their beautiful quilts with us.
