VFHQ Challenge 2011/2012

Our Challenge this year, as announced in September, is:

Silver Celebration

• We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary in 2012. Your challenge is to use silver in your quilt. Silver can be shiny, sparkly, or gray. It must be 25% of your quilt.


• Use any design or pattern, original or commercially available and any construction technique. You may piece, appliqué, embroider, cross-stitch, paint, or embellish it.


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


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


• Your quilt should be something made during the coming year (October 2011 to September 2012).


• 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). Use 50-75 words in your description on a card or paper no larger than 8x8.


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


• All questions should be directed to Judy Snook, judyann112@verizon.net or 610-933-8094.


• Completed challenge quilts will be displayed and voted on at the September 2012 guild meeting.
