Our 3 "challenges" for this year wrapped up at our April 2023 guild meeting, with these projects all completed in time for our end of April Quilt Show. There was an amazing display of quilts and other items and we voted on our favourites with the winners awarded prizes. This year we were given the opportunity to make the following guild-sponsored projects:
Thank you and congratulations to everyone who took on these projects and a big shout out to the makers of the prize winning pieces. Volunteers Emma Russell and Mary deVries did an awesome job of leading and coordinating these activities. Thank you both! Block of the Month This year's Block of the Month (BOM) featured 12 blocks, each finishing at 12", and each block was made from sixteen 3½” Half Square Triangles (HSTs). We made two blocks each month, with instructions for the first two being posted in August and the last two in January. Emma and Mary brought their sample blocks to the fall in-person guild meetings. While they both used a single colour scheme - Mary's were blue, and Emma's were fall orange shades, we were encouraged to choose our own colours and use a single colour scheme like they did, or to vary our colours from block to block. Participants assembled the blocks into the design of their choice along with borders, additional blocks, or background fabric. Photos of the blocks and the instructions are available here. The winners were: 1st Allison Kubiseski 2nd Brenda Davidson-Payer 3rd Mary Moss Here are the prize winning quilts.  1st Allison Kubiseski  2nd Brenda Davidson-Payer  3rd Mary Moss Mystery Quilt  Mystery Quilts The instructions for the blocks were made available in 3 parts from September through November 2022 and in December the mystery was revealed in the assembly instructions.
