Guild Challenge

I hope everyone has been busy reading and quilting over the summer.  Hopefully, some of you have even started the Guild Challenge, Quilts Inspired by Books.  You can use the general story line, setting or scene in the book, something that symbolizes the book, or your interpretation of a book.  It might be fun to do this with a friend, both doing your own interpretation of the same book!  Whatever you chose, remember that the deadline is earlier this year –  the quilt is due in December.  All of the guidelines and size requirements are available on the website.  If you have questions, please contact Carol Weber or Linda Stern.
