2024-2025 MPQG UFO Challenge

Let’s “WIP” out those “UFOs”!

✓ Do you have works in progress (WIPs), projects in grocery sacks (PIGS) or

unfinished objects (UFOs) you'd really like to finish?

✓ Did you miss out on the Guild UFO Challenge last year?

✓ Do you still have UFOs from last year's Challenge?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, now is your chance to sign up for the

2024-2025 MPQG UFO Challenge!

Challenge Guidelines:

• The Challenge is open to all Guild members.

• $15.00 donation to enter.

• The Challenge starts September 1, 2024. Completed UFOs must be finished by August 4, 2025 at

6:30 PM to be eligible to win.

• All projects must be in progress at the time you sign up (e.g., fabric purchased, fabric cut, blocks

pieced, quilt top pieced, etc.).

• The project can be a quilt, wall hanging, table topper, wearable art, or another unfinished

sewing project. Projects must have a minimum size of 18" in at least one direction for quilts,

wall hangings, or table toppers.

• Finished projects must be on your form to be eligible for tickets and prizes.

• Tickets are awarded for entering the Challenge and for finishing projects. Bonus tickets are

awarded for older projects, projects donated to Community Outreach, and for finishing all your

UFOs.

How do I win tickets?

• 5 tickets for signing up

• 5 tickets for each finished project

• 1 bonus ticket for each decade the project went unfinished (e.g., project started in 1988 and

finished in 2023 = 5 decades = 5 bonus tickets)

• 10 bonus tickets if the project is donated to the Guild’s Community Outreach Program

• 20 bonus tickets if you finish all your UFOs by August 4, 2025

How do I win prizes?

This year, there are three opportunities to win a prize at our Guild meetings:

• Monthly Drawing: Prizes will be given away at monthly Guild meetings. Prizes include gift

certificates, fabric bundles, notions, books and more.

• Monthly Dice Challenge: Starting in September a dice roll each month will determine the project to work on for the coming month. For example, if we roll a "3" on the dice, you have that month to finish project #3 on your list. If you finish by the next Guild meeting, you are guaranteed to win a prize.

• Grand Prize: The Grand Prize will be given away at the August 4, 2025 Guild meeting. The more tickets you earn, the more chances you have of winning.

Instructions for Entering:
