February Heritage Month
Challenge
In celebration of February Heritage month, members are invited to make a quilted piece (table runner, wall hanging, quilt, etc) to be presented at the February 22nd MPQ General Meeting, using each vintage block to tell a story. There are no size limitations and members are asked to use between four (4) to six (6) vintage blocks in their project. All submitted entries will be placed into a draw. Photos of your quilt is to be sent to: mpqshowntell@shaw.ca no later than Monday, February 17, 2025 to be entered. Members are asked to prepare their story (one (1) minute maximum and are asked to write it out and rehearse to keep within the time frame. Let's go down memory lane and have some fun with the project.
