Member Challenges
PghMQG engages in challenges, anywhere from monthly to yearly, to stretch the skills of our members and to engage them in growing as makers.
These challenges earn tickets to a drawing at the January meeting.
How to Participate in This Year’s Challenges

Here’s your chance to earn credit for any UFOs you have from previous challenges! If you missed the deadlines, we want to encourage your past efforts. If you don’t have any UFOs, you’re welcome to try out any previous challenge that strikes your fancy. It’s all about getting things done and trying new things in 2026. (This doesn’t apply to completed projects that you brought in for Show & Tell after the initial deadline.)
Due at the April 2026 meeting
Blocks - 1 ticket, Quilt tops - 5 tickets, Completed Projects - 10 tickets. No limits!
