Linda Hammel's winning quilt from a previous Proverbial Challenge. The proverb she chose was "The grass is always greener on the other side."

The Annual Challenge

The annual challenge inspires creativity and offers winning opportunities. The challenge period runs from September to September.

VFHQ Challenge 2012/2013

Our Challenge this year is:

Four Seasons

• The challenge is to create a quilt showing the four seasons or just one season.


• Any design or pattern, original or commercially available may be used.


• Any construction technique is possible. This could be pieced, appliquéd, painted, cross-stitched or embellished.


• Your quilt should be no larger than 50" on any side.


• It may be any quilted item (quilt, jacket, bag, pillow etc.).


• Your quilt should be something made during the coming year (October 2012 to September 2013).


• Include with your submission, a typed or neatly hand printed description of your quilt (including possibly a unique technique or something that occurred during the making or why you chose your scene). Use 50-75 words in your description on a card no larger than 8x8.


• As usual, only one entry per person will be accepted.


• All questions should be directed to Judy Snook.


• Completed challenge quilts will be displayed and voted on at the September 2013 guild meeting
