Pizze Box Challenge: Round Robin Quilt Blocks
Phase One of this challenge will be completed at the June meeting when pizza boxes will be returned to each owner. Phase Two of the challenge is for each owner to sew their blocks together and present their Pizza Box quilt at the September Anniversary meeting during Show N Tell.
WIP Challenge
WIP #3 was drawn at the May meeting and is due by July 4th (although we have no meeting that day). Just send a photo of your completed #3 to Sandy Burnett by July 4th and you will get your $5 back.
First pick 5 of your Work In Progress (WIP) projects. Then number them 1-5 on the list linked below. Submit a copy of your list along with $5 cash for each WIP on the list by the January meeting. At the January meeting a random number will be drawn. Check your list and that is the project that you will have 2 months to finish. When it is finished, text a picture of your finished project to the number on the form. If it is finished and ready for Show-N-Tell, your $5 will be returned to you at the following Guild meeting and your name will be entered into the cash drawings that take place at the Christmas/End of Year party. This process will be repeated at the March, May, July, and September meetings so that all 5 of your WIPs should be completed by the November meeting and you will have your $25 back plus 5 tickets for the drawing. For each WIP not completed on time, the $5 will be added to the kitty to be used for multiple cash drawings at the Christmas/End of Year party.
