PCQG 2026 Christmas Exchange Challenge

Scrappy Crumb/String Composition Notebook Cover

A Challenge was issued at the August meeting to make a scrappy Composition Notebook cover to bring to the December Potluck as a gift exchange.

You can participate by following these steps:

  1. The color of the composition book and pen you received at the August meeting MUST be used in some way for your notebook cover.
  2. Notebook covers must be made using your stash.  Do NOT buy any new fabric for this challenge.
  3. Notebook cover must contain some portion of crumb piecing.

As inspiration for the challenge a You Tube playlist has been created with several videos describing making covers and crumb piecing. A construction handout and the links below were emailed to all members after the August meeting.

The videos include:
