Margaret Phillips did a fabulous job running this Challenge and wanted to extend thanks to Terri Gavin, Andrea Winter, Jenny O’Shea, Denise Isherwood and Susie Andersen for their efforts in running this Challenge and to Deirdre Abbotts for taking pictures for the website. Outstanding work, ladies!
Thanks to all who participated!

2009 Guild Challenge
Got ideas???? Or just want to head a really fun committee?
Then submit an idea for
next year’s NSQG Challenge!
How to begin:
- Any guild member can submit a proposal. It should include a topic idea with a
name for the Challenge, the rules for the Challenge, and the judging categories
for which ribbons will be awarded.
- Write down these ideas and submit your proposal to Janis Tobias, Special Events
Chairperson (paper or emailed proposals are fine!).
The next steps:
- Janis will present the proposals to the board (without the submitters' names) and
the author of the winning idea will be selected as next year's Challenge
Coordinator.
- The Coordinator gathers a committee of about 5-7 people to help collect
Challenge entries, hang the quilts at the Feb. 2009 meeting, count the ballots, and
award the ribbons. The committee also hangs the quilts on Friday night before
the NSQG show in May.
Please contact me if you have any questions at all. I'd like to present all proposals at the
April board meeting so get your idea in by the end of March!
