Challenge Quilts for 2011: Civil War 150th Anniversary
2011 marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. To commemorate this event, the CAQG quilt challenge will take its inspiration from two well-known songs
of that era.
The rules for the challenge are as follows:
• Pick a phrase for inspiration – from the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” or “Dixie”.
• The quilt size – the perimeter of the quilt must measure 80 – 100 inches.
• Fabric selection – select at least 2 blue and 2 gray fabrics that read as solid (that is at least 4 different fabrics). Use a minimum
of 1 square inch each. Up to 4 additional, non blue/gray fabrics may also be included.
Add embellishments – buttons, beads, 3 dimensional items etc.
For more information about the Guild Challenge quilt, contact Brenda Reagan or Mary Diner.
Raffle quilt update
The raffle quilt for our 2011 show is Trailing Leaves which was planned by Martha Caldwell and Ann Robertson.
Martha Calderwood will be handling
the marketing of the raffle quilt. Contact her if you know of a venue to exhibit the quilt in the months before the show.
Raffle ticket books have been distributed to all members so once you've sold them all, contact Janet Saulsbury for more.
