September meeting being cancelled). Our first challenge of 2026 is due
November 2026. Each participant
will create a quilt using only three (3) yards of fabric for the quilt
top. The goal of this challenge is to
inspire creativity, efficient fabric use and unique design within a shared
constraint
Fabric swap coordinator is Olivia. October (due to September cancelled
meeting) is stripes or polka
dots. For each swap the member should
bring the specific fabric, cut in 4 fat quarters (21x18). The fat quarters do not have to be 4 of the
same fabric, but need to follow the swap guidelines. They should be put in a bag with the
member’s name on it.
Project bag swap – A project bag can organize your
sewing project in a sturdy bag with a vinyl or mesh front. A few examples are shown on the website. By Annie.com has a pattern for these bags. Bring your completed bag to the October

wrapped bag to take home.
