Guild Challenges  --  BOMs  --  Sew Alongs

2026 Guild Challenge

 

March Challenge Message from Your Challenge Cheerleaders!

Challenges are so much fun! Hopefully many of you have joined our Sewcialites 3 quilt challenge!  Remember, Kimberly Jolly introduces a new block each Friday morning on YouTube and on Facebook. Kimberly provides many tips on sewing the blocks as well as showing examples of blocks others have completed. My blocks are in the photo below. I usually make scrappy quilts, but this time I am using a Tilda Jubilee fat eighth bundle that I had been hoarding. So far, I have made two blocks each from Sewcialites 2 and 3. I also have blocks selected from Sewcialites 1. Also, remember that there are different skill levels available. If you don’t like the block that is featured, sew a different one. 

 

I saw a few member blocks at our last guild meeting. Since we didn’t have a chance to share our blocks, please bring all of your blocks to our March meeting. 

 

If you haven’t participated in the challenge yet, please join in at any time. At least, give it a try. The challenge will run through August for making the blocks, and the quilt completion date and presentations will be during our November meeting. 

 

Sewcialites 3 Information is available free at the Fat Quarter Shop - Type Sewcialites in the Search Box or Click the PINK BOX below 

 

God bless and happy quilting!
