The Past President’s Challenge is a quilting challenge issued to our membership annually by the outgoing President(s). People are welcome to participate as they choose. This is an easy way to try a new quilting technique or step outside your comfort zone with lots of support.
2023/2024 Challenge
Paper Pieced Sailboat Blocks that paid homage to our logo. The blocks made by members were assembled into a quilt and will be displayed at Pauline’s Place and then donated to the Oncology Department at Brightshores Hospital in Owen Sound.
Churn Dash and a 9 patch variation block were made by members and donated to Community Quilts to be made into a quilt for donation. This Churn Dash quilt was donated to the Oncology Department at Brightshores Hospital.
2021/2022 Challenge
The pattern was free from Janome and was designed by Kimberly Einmo. Participants downloaded the pattern from a link that was sent to all guild members. This pattern challenged those who participated with lots of half square triangles and flying geese. Members that participated purchased their own fabric and kept their quilts for their personal use.
