For the first challenge all participants chose a project they had started that was stashed away in a drawer, on the design wall, on a shelf, in a bin or baggie. Then they were take that item and make it new by adding to it and making it a quilt, or taking it apart and using the pieces in some other way. They could make a garment or a wall hanging or table runner out of it. Basically they could do whatever they wantent but they MUST use all of it. It does NOT have to be quilted but whatever the item is it MUST be FINISHED. The idea isn't to finish a UFO but to repurpose it.
There were no restriction on how much or how little other fabrics, trims, etc may be used.
The winner was PANDIBEAR

For this challenge everyone was sent a small priority mail box full of scraps in their color choice that my girls and I sorted through and ironed.
What they were to do with it was up to them. The only limitation was that any additional fabrics had to be solids.
The winner of challenge #2 was jayardi!

For this one I sent a fat quarter to 10 willing people who had 50 days to come up with anything of their choice. There were no restrictions except that they had to use the fq in some way.
The winner of challenge 3 was jayardi!

For this challenge we took inspiration from the song that was the number one on the day we were born. The project could be whatever we wanted as long as it fell under the category "Quilting/Needlework".
The winner of this challenge was alexemmarose w/ her work inspired by Percy Faith - The Song from Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)

This one was about the holidays. Whatever it is you celebrate, we made something just for the season.
The winner of challenge 5 was Gonesewin!

Congratulations to Jayardi. She joined all 5 challenges and came away with a prize of $255.13!!

Congrats Jean! And what great challenges they were Lori. Thanks to you my Spring (1st challenge)and Smog (2nd challenge?) each won ribbons at our quilt show. Spring got visual impact award and Smog got one of the judges choice! So thanks for the inspiration. Loved it.
Congrats Jean..you are one talented lady!! and to Lori for the Challenge..and to all the other challengers. I participated in a couple, was glad I did as it got me thinking out of my comfort zone. I have a project picked out for #6 .. and I'll continue it. My GKs are coming for a couple days (DD having minor surgery and I'm contributing to a quiet house to recover ) and thought I'd have them help me lay out the pattern. Thanks again, Ali

Congratulations Jean! Beautiful challenge pieces. Thank you Lori for these challenges. I was only able to participate in two of them, day job always interferring with my hobbies, but all the challenges were great inspirations to create.
I am so glad to know you liked my challenges! I think it is great that irish62 won prizes for some of her work I had fun doing it and really enjoyed seeing what everyone did with what I gave them - especially my scraps!
