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!

Candy Bag Zipper Pouch
Taught by Karen Crozier
(purpledoxie@gmail.com or 940-594-3824)
Cost: $15 ($5 for facility use and $10 for some supplies I provide)
You bring:
– Candy bag – empty it CAREFULLY or bring it full 😛- don’t tear it!! Use scissors to retain as much of the bag as possible. Size should not be smaller than about 8” by 8” (hard to turn) and not be larger than about 12” by 12” (takes too long to quilt for this class)
– Coordinating fabric for inside – two pieces about 2 inches larger than bag on all sides
– Basic zipper (nothing fancy) – at least an inch longer than the part of the candy bag that will be the top
– Basic sewing items – machine, thread, rotary cutter, mat, scissors
– A teflon foot for your machine is nice, but not required
I’ll provide:
• Iron on vinyl
• Iron on fleece
• Extra candy bags and zippers in case they are needed
