2015 Summer Challenge

Summer Challenge

Our Summer Zig Zag Fabric Challenge as begun and is off to a very good start.  Approximately 30 squares were taken with some people doing both the regular challenge and the super challenge.  There is still time to join in the fun!   If you would like to participate in the Summer Challenge, please contact Pat Alfredson or Mary Mazzuchi to make arrangement to receive the 10 inch square of the challenge fabric. Your challenge is to use some or all of this 10” square of fabric in a clearly recognizable form in a finished quilted piece.  The use of embellishments in the Challenge is your choice.

For those of you who think this challenge is a bit too tame, we have the Super Zig Zag Challenge.  You will have the same challenge material as above. Additionally, you draw, sight unseen, 2 crayons from a basket.  Your piece can only contain the challenge material in a recognizable form, and material matching the colors of each of the two crayon colors you picked in solid or print that reads like a solid.  You may add one other material in a neutral color (black, grey, white, cream).  The use of embellishments in either level of the Challenge is your choice. 

Completed projects will be revealed at the December luncheon.  

Please direct your questions to either Pat Alfredson 703 416 2718 pat.affredson@verizon.net or Mary Mazzuchi 703 960 0569 mazzuchimw@aol.com

Set yourself free and have a wonderful time!
