Library Challenge
The TQG Library has about 700 books free to guild members. We want you to look through the books and find a quilt just for you.
Rules to enter:
A completed quilt of a minimum size with the pattern or inspiration taken from a guild library book.
Minimum size: 1620 square inches. Example: this could be a quilt 36” x 45”. There is no maximum size limit.
Technique and method: Any finished quilt that has a top, batting, backing, quilting and binding/knife edge is allowable.
A Library book may be checked out any month starting in May 2019 and will be extended up to 3 months check-out for those using the book for the challenge.
All quilts must be completed and shown at a Chapter Show and Tell by November 2019. The name of the library book must be mentioned. Quilts may be shown as they are completed (July meeting, September meeting, etc.). Upon being shown, the quilter’s name will be entered in that Chapter meeting’s drawing pool. There will be one name drawn for a prize at each (Day, Night, Saturday) December 2019 Chapter meeting. You do not have to be present to win. Guild members may only enter one quilt for the TQG Library Challenge. The quilt may be shown at all meetings but will be entered for a prize at only the first meeting at which it is shown.
3 prizes of $25 each

Library
The TQG Library is divided into Red and Blue and Yellow Libraries with the libraries rotating between the three chapters. There are nearly 500 books available to guild members for checking out.
Here is a reminder of Library rules:
Here is a reminder of Library rules:
- Please try to return books to the correct library (Red books to the Red Library, and Blue books to Blue, and so on). If this isn't feasible, return them to the chapter you attend. As chapter librarians do not usually attend other meetings, this may mean that it takes a while to get returned books back into circulation.
- NEW FOR 2018: Books are checked out for TWO months at a time, and may be renewed on request. You can call or email your librarians or request renewal at the meeting. Note: if another member has requested the book, we may not be able to renew for you.
- Only four books may be checked out by a member at a time.
- A fine of $1 per book for each month overdue can be charged. Lost or damaged books must be replaced.
Several months in the year, Library collections are not brought to meetings. The month before Inventory, normally the July meetings, librarians will collect returns, but don’t check books out. Day and Night chapters have December parties every year, and books aren’t brought. When any chapter is having a rummage sale, or sometimes if a speaker has a big trunk show or a large inventory of merchandise, the Librarian will be asked not to bring the collection.
At any meeting, if a Librarian is present, books can be returned.
A third collection, the Green Library, is not exchanged among the chapters. This collection includes older or fragile items, oversize items and DVDs. Titles can be browsed online or in the Librarian’s notebook, and anything can be checked out by request, allowing time to transfer the item to your chapter.
