Words That Move You Challenge The Fiber Arts Group would like to extend a challenge to anyone who would like to participate. Linda Klyman has extended the challenge Words That Move You. This can be a quote, saying, song, phrase, or just one word that moves you. Interpret them into a fiber creation such as a wall hanging. We are hoping to have a nice group of this challenge to hang in the Quilt Show.
