Garden State Quilt Challenge 2024-2025

​

In keeping with our president’s goal of fostering community by getting to know each other better, this year’s challenges are designed to encourage sharing something about ourselves with other members of the guild. Use this challenge as both an opportunity to introduce yourself to us and as a form of self-reflection.  At our challenge Show and Tell meeting, you will explain how your project offers a glimpse into who you are.

​

We have 2 opportunities for you to share:

​

• February meeting (for early birds and over-achievers).

• May meeting (for the rest of us).

​

Challenge 1 – Selfie Sampler
 

Create a sampler of at least 4 blocks, each of which relates to an aspect of your life, your background, your interests, your family, your beliefs, your personality etc. 

​

Examples:  state block of your birth state; a block related to your birth month; a block highlighting your favorite color; a block related to your profession or hobby; a block depicting your pet. Make at least one block that will be a surprise even to those who know you.

​

Challenge 2 – Maker Mirror

 

Instead of a sampler, create a sewn project that reveals an aspect of your life and personality.  It can be a single block, a table runner, a bag, an article of clothing, a wall hanging, a mug rug, etc. Again, dig deep and make this item a true mirror of you.
