UFOs: The 2026 UFO challenge kicked off. In this challenge, you complete a form with up to 10 UFOs you want to finish this year and turn it in to Kim. During the year, show your completed UFOs at meetings (or send a picture if you’re not able to make it to a meeting). For each UFO you complete, your name is entered into a drawing for a prize at the December party. You can add UFOs to the form, submit more than one form (for $10 each), or change UFOs as needed. You can join at any time during the year. Download the form here if you want to join and finish off some of those UFOs in 2026.

Sew & Tell
We had a great sew and tell with members sharing their completions. Note that you can bring in a previously completed project if you want to share it with the guild.
January Program
Lisa provided materials and directions to make slow stitched postcards, like what we did with the recent programs at the Cummer Museum. Take a look at the fun they’re having and some of what they made!
