PEACE RIVER QUILTER’S GUILD

 ANNUAL BROWN BAG PROJECT CHALLENGE

JANUARY/DECEMBER

You are invited to take part in the annual brown bag project for our guild! The rules are simple…… 

1. Place 4 or 5 (your choice) Fat Quarters into a brown paper bag and bring to the January business meeting. You might want to keep a small snip of your fabrics so you don’t forget what you turned in!

2. You will exchange your brown bag for another, contributor unknown to you. The person in charge of the challenge will know.

3. During the next 11 months you MUST make something with the fabric you have received. You can add to the fabric but you MUST use some of each fabric that was in the bag. You can make anything…a wall hanging, place mats, lap quilt, whatever your imagination dreams up.

4. Bring your FINISHED creation to the December  luncheon meeting and we’ll have a show and tell and everyone can claim their prize!

Please keep in mind that we are lucky enough to have all different skill levels in our guild. The purpose of this project is to be challenged, to use colors and fabrics that maybe we wouldn’t normally pick to use for ourselves or just to try out a new technique. Don’t expect to receive a blue ribbon winner but do expect to have a great time. Not only don’t you know whose fabric you have, you also don’t know who has yours!

Please remember that this is a COMMITMENT…..if you take home a bag you MUST return a FINISHED project. YOU have eleven months to complete it and YOU get to decide how hard and how big a project you do.

Happy Stitching!
