PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE 2023-24

Borrow a book from our guild library and make something from it. It can be big as in a quilt, a piece of clothing, a table runner, or something as small as a pin cushion or any other number of things...your choice. The only restriction is it must contain at least one piece of fabric from Cindy’s store (Crafters Vineyard).

President-Judith Hughes has already completed and shown two examples.
