Our yearly Guild Challenge is a fun and easy way to get creative!
What's Old is New Again
Repurposing, Upcycling, Recycling! Your 2027 Guild Challenge is to create something new with something old, unusual or found. Some of your materials can be any repurposed fabric, embellishment, or trinket. We also suggest that your quilt express the theme “What’s Old is New Again” through either the artwork or by taking a modern twist to a traditional block or method.
Any technique can be used.
• Fabric: In addition to using some repurposed fabric on the front of the quilt, you can use anything else.
• You may want to embellish the quilt with old jewelry or trinkets.
• Consider the theme “What’s Old is New Again”.
• The quilt may be no larger than 25” per side, completely finished with a sleeve & label.
• Instructions to make a sleeve can be found HERE
• The quilt is to be entered into the 2027 Quilt Show. One can choose to have it judged or not.
• Please keep your project secret.
