2007 GUILD CHALLENGE
The 2007 Quilt University Challenge was
"Poetry in Motion" and our guild participated in the challenge. Here are the rules: "Take a line from any poem or song
and create a quilt that expresses it. Your quilt can be representational or abstract. The title of your
quilt will be the words upon which the quilt design is based. You may use any methods or techniques you like, but the work must be original and
you must complete all of it yourself."
2006 Challenge The Old Church Gallery Quilter's Guild was 20 years old in 2006.
Our annual challenge celebrated our 20th anniversary while also
participating in the Annual Quilt University Challenge. The rules for Our Guild's 2006 Challenge
followed the rules set out for the Quilt University Challenge with the added provison that
your entry include Emerald green and White to commemorate our 20th anniversary. See all the 2006 Challenge Quilts
2005 Quilt University Guild Challenge: INVENT A FLOWER See the 2005 Challenge Rules Past Challenges The guild has participated in some wonderful
challenges in years past. If you have photos of past challenges, please send them in. It
is fun to remember some of the great old challenges of the past and the wonderful quilts
that sprang from them. Some poplar challenges included: A Millennium Challenge in 2000 Birthday Challenge in 1999 The Color Challenge Everyone selected, sight unseen from a paper bag, a
combination of two colors. They had to make a quilt using the two colors. The combinations
included Scarlet and Purple, Turquoise and Peach, and everyone's favorite: Chartreuse and
Orange. You were allowed to trade colors with someone else if you could find someone who was
willing to trade. Quilt a Camel Challenge We had a committee design this challenge. Five
people in the guild each contributed an element to the challenge. Since a Camel is a horse
designed by a committee we called it the Quilt a Camel Challenge. The elements of the
challenge included a log cabin, a pine tree, an architectural element, the color chartreuse, and ???
