The Template's cover: 2006 challenge winner

How good does Tanya Coxsedge's quilt look on the cover of The Template?

Tanya won the Guild's 2006 Challenge, Going to Pieces. In this issue, she writes about making this quilt - not an easy task, with such a confronting image being stitched.

In each issue, you'll find a piece about the cover quilt, so you can find out its story. This was one suggestion from the Guild's recent survey - the committee received lots of valuable input from this and is working through it all.

This issue doesn't use the usual Template masthead - mostly because the quilting hoop/needle would have done unkind things to Tanya's head!

Tanya included this comment about participating in Guild challenges:

I really enjoy the NSW Quilters' Guild challenges, for they force me to consider ideas I wouldn't have imagined on my own.
