Nothing here yet, either.

Guess I posted on the wrong thread.

We can make anything we want with the Challenge fabric? And can add fabric, as long as we use 70% of the Challenge fabric.

alright ladies, it is time to put on your thinking, creative caps and come up with some ideas to use in that challenging piece of fabric. You have to admit that it is better to have a larger piece to work with even though you have to use 70% of it. Feel free to get in touch with me should you have any questions, asking for suggestions as to what to do with it doesn't count, I am still in that bubble too! Looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations in June - hopefully the creative fairies will visit us in our sleep and give us some specular ideas! Good luck and let the games begin, after all there are only 6 months until the retreat!

Mine arrived on the 5th, and I immediately knew what I was going to do with it. I'm making a prototype first out of other fabric before I start cutting, though. I believe it will take about 80% of the fabric to complete.

We got ours yesterday. Greenspools says she had an idea as soon as she saw it. Trying to figure out how to set up our time so we don't know what the other is making. Smile With making Christmas gifts will be after the holidays I am thinking.

I received mine on Wednesday and I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do with it. That's not the way I felt about the Row Robin. It took a long time to come up with an idea and I'm almost done with it, but not crazy about it. I think that the next four people can only make it better.

...donkey got here ... as I stood looking at it I said, wow, I'm not sure what to do with this,,, DNSIL says 'dont complain,it was free'; so I asked how he knew that, because it came in an envelope? He grinned and said 'Yeah' .... guess you can tell he has MAILED some of these envelopes!
So.... the thinking cap has a flat tire...
