It is no secret that quilters love challenges. Well, some might have a love-hate relationship with them, depending on what the parameters of the challenge might be. As a whole, it is fun to figure out how to use mere fabric and your own creativity to rise to the challenge. Every year, the show committee brainstorms and comes up with a theme for the show. Our challenge to the quilting community is to make a quilt that embodies that theme. While we don't have pictures of the quilt shows prior to 2009, we do have a list of the themes.
