News and Notes
The 2026 Guild Challenge: Boot Scootin’
In honor of this year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, our challenge theme honors a uniquely American symbol – a Texas icon – the cowboy boot. They represent the independence and spirit of the American West, bringing to mind a legacy of hard work, self-reliance and freedom. The challenge gives you the freedom to express this global icon in whatever way connects most with you! Express yourself!

The 2026 Guild Initiative: Wonky Churn Dash Blocks
Each year, we choose a simple block that all members of the guild can make. Make as many as you like – using your choice of fabric, with a white-ish background. Turn them in at the Kid Kwilt table at any guild meeting, and the Kids Bee will assemble the blocks into finished quilts for our outreach partner donations.
This year, we’re doing Wonky Churn Dash Blocks! So much fun!
