Our guild is about 50 participating members, and we sometimes do the "strip poker" game, bring in favorite tools, have demos (5 or 6 ladies each do 1 item and we rotate the group of 8 or 10 onlookers to each station). I have enjoyed our UFO challenge, we each made a list of 6 UFOs (a copy for us and a copy for the president) and then numbers 1-6 were put in a hat. The number drawn out was to be finished in 2 months and brought to the meeting that month. We drew a new number that month for 2 months away. FIrst time we did this we didn't know the plan, and some listed things they would probably never complete in that time line. Second year we were savvy and listed things we really wanted to finish! We have had a "color the block" contest, different block printed up each month and if you colored it your name went in a drawing for a fat quarter. If you made the block (multiples were accepted) you put your name in a drawing for a 1/4 yard. We are having our quilt show soon, so a contest was set up to bring a pincushion that could be donated to the boutique table and a winner would be chosen for a gift card prize. Lots of different things work, think charity quilts, baby quilts, QofV, all can be "judged" and the winner gets a prize.
