The January Guild program, Quilting Phraseology, will be geared toward helping members come up with ideas for the Challenge... "A Word or Phrase".

Check your roster or newsletter for contact info or use the “contact us” form on this website.

It is time for the MLQG members to think back to all those phrases/old sayings from our past (or even the present!). Maybe it is a line from a book, a movie, play or a poem? Possibly a quote from a famous person sticks in your mind. A song lyric might run through your head. A play on words might bring a cute picture to your mind. Whatever it is, we are asking you to express yourself with fabric!

Some examples might be:
boot camp
when pigs fly
over a barrel

Quilts (3 layers, quilted, and bound) must be less than 36” at the longest/widest point. They need not be the familiar square or rectangle, as long as they fit inside a 36” square area. Embellishments are encouraged, as long as they fit inside the area.

Quilts should have a hanging sleeve and be ready to hang, including an appropriate rod.

Entries must have a label with the name of the artist and the title of the quilt sewn securely to the back of the quilt.

Entry forms should include the phrase that you chose and a little bit about your design process and inspiration.

As the title says, it's a CHALLENGE, so challenge yourself and try a new style or technique, but most of all, HAVE FUN!
