2017 President's Challenge 

Description – Guild members are challenged to make a doll quilt that is inspired by a children’s book.  Books and doll quilts will be donated to a charity selected by the guild.  Books have been selected by President, Pam Snow, and purchased by the guild.  Each book has quilting as a part of the story.

Rules – 

·       The doll quilts should be inspired by the book you select.

·       Quilt size is to be between 15” and 30”.  No more than 100” around the perimeter.

·       Quilt can be square or rectangular.  (Most doll cribs, cradles and beds are rectangular)

·       They can be hand pieced, machine pieced, appliquéd, traditional, modern, or a combination.  (Keep in mind the time period of your story)

·       Actual quilting can be done by machine or hand.

·       Quilts should include a top, batting, and binding.

·       Embellishments can be added.  (These are going to small children, so make sure any embellishment is “Child Safe”.)

Due date – November meeting

I’ve asked our Charity Chairperson, Susan Samuel, to research possible charities where we could donate our quilts and books.  I’m sure she welcomes any ideas from Cholla quilters.
