2024-25 President's Challenge & UFO & Charity

President's Challenge: Create a mini quilt (max 16" - size to be confirmed) that conveys the message, directly or indirectly, DO NOT TOUCH QUILTS. These will be hung around the 2025 Quilt Show.

The UFO CHALLENGE (unfinished objects) will be our focus this year for sew days to support the quilt show rather than charity sewing. We did lots of charity sewing last year. (Check out some of our Donated Quilts).

Choose up to 5 unfinished projects
Place a number 1 to 5 on each project and take a picture of each. Submit to pqgufo@gmail.com before Sep 29
Each month a number will be drawn and you will have that month to finish the project you identified with that number (Oct; Nov; Jan; Feb; Mar)
At the end of the month you will submit another picture of the completed project to the same email
At end of each month you will be informed of the random number drawn identifying your next UFO to work on.
