Reminder about the AGM Challenge

If anyone is attending the IPS National AGM on the 17th October don't forget about the AGM Challenge.

The challenge for this year is to make a HOUSE block. This block must be quilted and measure 12 1/2, not smaller. You have to finish the edges of the block with a narrow zig-zag stitch all around the block.

The HOUSE blocks will be assembled by the Western Branch to create a quilt which will be raffled for a charity looking after the homeless in Galway.

Also, the winner of the challenge receives the James Lawlor trophy for the year.
