Reaffirm - CQA/ACC MEMBER GUILD QUILT CHALLENGE 2022
(MPQ PRESIDENT'S CHALLENGE II)
The President’s Challenge II, tied to the CQA Guild Challenge, was particularly difficult to “get one’s head around”. Thanks to Judy Stupak, we do have a very worthy Manitoba entry. As there were no other entries, Judy will submit her entry to be displayed at Quilt Canada. The winning quilt at this level will be decided by voters, so when that time comes, you may support Judy and MPQ by voting.
Judy's entry is titled "I AM"
The concept of "I am..." came when putting together a puzzle of a kitten who looked in a puddle and saw his reflection as a tiger.
Description in 50 words or less: 
Every person needs to look at their reflection in a mirror and use words of affirmation to embrace who they are; reaffirmation is necessary. My personal words of affirmation are: "I am... a mother, grandmother, wife, quilter, fibre artist, crafter; I am … creative, curious, unique, calm, diligent, intentional.”
Requirement: Guild Colours: blue, yellow and green with a touch of red
Technique: Raw Edge Appliqué
