HHQ Events & Programs
​2026 HHQ Guild Challenge
This year’s challenge is all about finishing those long-forgotten projects together. Members choose five unfinished projects to work on throughout 2026, share progress with the group, and celebrate completed quilts with show-and-tell and prizes. It’s a fun, encouraging way to clear out UFOs, stay motivated, and make room for fresh ideas — and fresh fabric.
