President's Challenge

My president’s challenge is called “This Month I Learned…”  Each month in 2020, I will choose a technique to practice.  You can make any size block, or project using this technique.  It does not need to be finished or made into a quilt.  There will be links on our website each month based on the technique.  If this month’s challenge is not new for you, please participate anyway!  You could try a harder block than what you’ve done before.  Or if you are an expert, please help a friend or newer member.  Bring your sample to guild next month and we’ll have a special show & tell and a door prize for a lucky winner.
