Charity Challenge 2015

Below is the "Call to Quilters" to send in photos of charity quilts they have worked on.

---

Quilters are some of the nicest and most generous people "out there!" We make, from start to finish, or quilt and / or bind, quilts that are donated to worthy causes or needy individuals. We make and donate these quilts with open hearts and with "no strings attached" to the receiving groups.

In 2013 we had the first Longarm University Charity Quilt Challenge and it was a HUGE success! So I thought, "let's do it again!"

Make or complete a quilt, or two, or more, and donate it to a charity of your choice. Send a photo of your quilt as an email attachment and I will post the photos on this website.

Quilts can be made from UFO's (unfinished objects), WIP's (work in progress), PIGS (projects in grocery sacks) or even a quilt made specifically for this challenge! Also included in this challenge are quilts that you have quilted or completed for specific charities during the last two years.

There will be a drawing for a $50 Longarm University Gift Certificate from those who have sent photos.

In 2013 there was such a huge response that THREE Gift Certificates were awarded! Let's see if we can beat the 2013 record of photo responses.
