The Great Guild UFO Challenge!

Lets be completely honest with ourselves. We all have them. They are hiding under the bed, stacked in plastic bins taking up valuable real estate in our sewing closets.

They are our UFO's - Unfinished Objects (#19's).

Whether it's a project with half the blocks pieced, a quilt top that just needs binding, it is time to clear the clutter and conquer the guilt. We are thrilled to officially launch the Guild UFO Challenge.

This is your ultimate, low pressure excuse to turn forgotten projects into finished masterpieces while cheering on your guild friends.

We are making participation incredibly easy, organized and rewarding.

The UFO Registry: Specific UFO projects you want to tackle, 1-6 projects, $2.00 per project - stay tuned

For every single UFO you complete and bring to a meeting, you earn one raffle ticket.  The more you finish, the 

higher your chances of winning the grand prize.

The Ground Rules: To qualify as a UFO, the project must have been started before (date TBD) no starting brand new projects for this challenge!

The Goal: Dust off those bins, finish the projects one by one, and bring them to Show and Tell to cross off your official registry

The Deadline: The challenge runs from now until (dates TBD), giving you plenty of time to find your sewing groove



Three Steps to Clear Your Conscience

1. Go UFO Hunting: Go through your stash.  Pull out projects that are closest to completion, or the ones you still love the most.

2. Submit Your List: Fill out the Official UFO Registry Form by date TBD

3. Share the Rescue Mission: Post your "Before" photos on Instagram or Facebook using guild # (insert details).  We want to see the wrinkled tops, the rogue blocks and the glorious "After" transformations !

Lets turn those unfinished heartaches into beautiful quilts - Happy Sewing



Fat Quarter Club 

The Fat Quarter Club is a fun way to build your stash!

How it works:

* There will be a new theme or colour each month

* Bring a fat quarter (18" x 22") to the Quilters Corner table at the meeting.
