NEW AUGUST CHALLENGE

As promised, we’ll have one last challenge for this calendar year which I’m calling

The Floral Focus Fabric Fun Challenge. To celebrate our Guild’s “Year of the Friend” I have donated a bolt of this floral focus fabric. Yellow flowers are the symbol of friendship, and my favorite flower is the daisy, so what better way to honor the new friendships we’ve all made this year, and to wrap up my year as President, than with this fun fabric called “Daisy Toss”. Simple rules – just use some of this fabric in your project. That’s it! You can use the whole piece or just a small snippet as long as we can see the fabric somewhere on your finished item. Check out the Challenge  Table at our August meeting to purchase your fabric and get started. Fabric pieces are cut in either Fat Quarters (18” x 22”)  or  ¼ yard (9” x 44”) so think about your intended project and choose the piece that will work best. Because this fabric is currently out of print you will be limited to ONE PIECE ONLY! I told you it was a challenge J

Complete rules (and a sneak peek at the fabric) are listed below.

To celebrate our Guild’s “Year of the Friend” I have chosen this floral focus fabric.
