Guild Challenge 2023

Each year, the Canadian Quilters Association issues a guild challenge. Congratulations to Dianne Kirk-Benincasa. Her entry, Beach Glass Penguin, will be going to Halifax to represent Royal City Quilters’ Guild for the 2023 challenge. .

Beach Glass Penguin created by Dianne Kirk-Benincasa

When a male penguin sees a female penguin that he lies, he searches for a pretty pebble and delivers it, dropping it at her feet do indicate his intentions towards her. Dianne made this wall hanging as a birthday gift for her favourite penguin
