Guild Activities

New 2026 Challenge

Bock Bock Bucket
● A Chicken Bucket was passed out in December 2025 and January 2026 and you are to label it
and add two yards of fabric into the bucket.
● You will swap buckets each month and make at least one 12-1/2’ block (or many) out of the
fabric in someone else’s bucket. You may add additional fabric from your stash and we want
you to put your skills to work. Paper piece, traditional piece, appliqué and use all your talents
and make these blocks for someone else in the guild. You will get one credit for each different
12-1/2 block you make. Each pattern must be different from others in the bucket. Variety is the
spice of life!
● The next month you’ll check in and get your credits from me. Please make sure you return the
bucket each month and also please make sure each block measures correctly.
● Grab the next bucket and make another block or two. You may also call people up and swap
early if you know you’ll miss a meeting.
● Save your credits for the end of the year for fantastic prizes and awards!!!!!!
● Any questions contact Amy
