2006 CQA/ACC Trend-Tex Quilter’s Challenge  We would like to thank all the CQA/ACC members who participated, both by purchasing kits and by putting time and talent into making a wallquilt and donating it to CQA/ACC. Your support and participation are essential to the continuing success of the Quilters’ Challenge. We are proud to display your efforts for all to enjoy. This year’s theme was Still Quilting After All These Years. There were 3 special groupings of wallquilts displayed among the challenges: by the current Board of Directors, by the current Regional Representatives, and by former Presidents. This year 129 wallquilts were returned, a new record. Congratulations to our members who completed their works and contributed to an outstanding display of colour, style, technique and commitment to the association.
