Got mine today. So many ideas buzzing around in my head.

Still waiting for mine. Excited to start brainstorming ideas.

Mine arrived and Mom said "What do you plan on making with THAT?" LOL! Oh Mom, I figure out something!

Also received mine... I'm with your mom - KC!

Uh, oh. Is this a case of retreaters, BEWARE?!!!!

Not here in Houston...............

Got mine too. I have a couple of ideas...

Got mine, too. Hmmmmmmmm......

Got mine and have an idea! Nice to have an idea. Usually I look at it for a few months, wondering "what the h**** am I going to do with that?"

Mine arrived today. No ideas yet, but think I might actually try this year. The fabric has a wonderful feel to it....so smooth!

Mine came today!!!! Many ideas but need to thin them down to the perfect one!!!!

Not here (NY) yet. GAquilter, toss your extra ideas my way.

Got mine today. It is from Connecting Threads. I have a few ideas I would love to try. Just need the time to try them.

Not here in Houston yet........

got mine today here in sunny calif. i have no clue what i'm gonna do with, but you're right Magnolia it does feel really nice.

mine didn't make it to sw ohio, then again our mail is running 3 days later than usual.

Got mine today. No ideas yet, still in holiday mode.

Received my fabric yesterday. I'll have to wait till the holidays are over before I even begin to think about a project.
amiko

Got mine yesterday and shortly thereafter an idea came to me. Might not be a winner but I know I will enjoy it later on!

...OK ... what's the deal here... why does my neighborhood get the donkeys instead of the ponies ... mine is not here yet .. but I have ideas

Sandie, your donkey must be partying with my donkey. No fabric in my mail yet.

Mine arrived today. Gotta think about this a bit, and get inspired.

Mine arrived today too... hmmm???

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.

Mine came today and I don't have a clue... Chris

that is correct, paus.

Can anyone throw me an idea or 2???

Wait! Gonesewin, didn't you pick out this fabric? And you need ideas?

Got mine Thursday, I like the fabric, and have no idea what to do!! But...that's normal for me

Not yet. Didn't the pony have to pass my house on the way to Lakequilters?

I received mine yesterday. Amazing that you could have driven it to me in a couple of hours, yet mine arrived by mail same day as a couple of ppl in CA

Mine arrived on Thursday. Now, to put it somewhere "safe" and hope I can find it in May!!!!

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.

Mine arrived yesterday and is pinned to the wall while I ponder........

Got mine yesterday and I like it!

Rondi

got mine the other day too. Since this is my first retreat, I really have no clue what do make with it.

Should be interesting!!!!

Well the donkey party is over, I got mine today. Now to decide and find time to create. A couple ideas have come to mind. We will see.

Yep, I picked the fabric but I haven't a clue as to what to do with it. How am I going to surpass last year's?

are there any pictures of the challenge entries at Branson, it may give some incentive to those still scratching their heads

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. With making Christmas gifts will be after the holidays I am thinking.

dang! It's taking forever to get to Oregon! Not that I can do anything with it until Jan. But, I'm excited to start planning.

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.

I have mine. Now to do some thinking. Thank goodness I have a few months (yeah, I'll be finishing it in the car on the way as always, LOL).

My prototype turned out great. Will make the actual challenge item tomorrow!
No, I'm not excited at all about the retreat!

I found this, it's some of the items made...

and here's this kindle holder:

and here is mine:

Got mine. Got no ideas. But got my fabric

...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...
