manner desired using hand and/or machine sewing techniques using the
challenge pack fabric and any other additional fabrics. Quilt entries needed

Society headquarters in Delray Beach Florida during the month of
June. Prizes were given in two categories Quilts/Wallhanging and
Wearable Art. First place $250.00, second place $175.00 and third place $100.00 gift
