Challenge 2016

Challenge Leader: Janis Hagen

The 2016 Challenge theme was movies or songs from the 50s in honor of Smith Mountain Lake's 50th Anniversary. This way we could work with the number 50 without having to use the number in our quilt. You might choose the movie Singing in the Rain or a song from the 50s, such as, "Blue Suede Shoes." The entries could be a wall hanging or a table runner.

The Challenge Entries were viewed and voted on at the December Luncheon. There were two categories: Wall Hangings and Table Runners.
