.... are fun.
Who doesn't like a great challenge?
A few weeks ago I received this pack in the mail. MQX is hosting a Charity Challenge to benefit the New England Quilt Museum. The fabrics are sponsored by Sew Batik and are beautiful. The requirement this year is- to use the Bear Paw block anywhere in your design. I know what I'm going to do... but finding the time will be a challenge...

Below is my last year's Charity Challenge.The theme was Victorian Elegance and we had to craft something typical from the Victorian Era..

Below is a Guild Challenge from a few years ago. The guild I belong to hosts a challenge every year. I've done every one since joining- kind of a personal challenge..... This is a "Novel Idea"
One of the things I like about challenges is interpreting the theme and seeing how others do, as well.

This is "The Shape You Are In". Also a Guild challenge from years ago.

Another Guild challenge.
"How Does Your Garden Grow?"
You wouldn't think of garden, when you see this quilt. I will have to post about it's interpretation some day. I liked thiking about this quilt, designing it and quilting it. I wanted to remake it but haven't gotten to it..... Still on the bucket list of challenges, I guesss you could say.

Below is not a challenge, but finishing it was. I can go awhile before I quilt another circle.... I still have threads to tie off. The background is a mottled black. Seeing the quilting stitch was/is a challenge... kind of like quilting in the dark.

And as some guessed... yup, below is an extreme closeup of a tiny section of my Fiberactions Challenge. There are so many new online challenge groups popping up all over the place. I look forward to watching other artists/quilters approach their new challenges.
I'm looking forward to this new challenge. I'm going to learn how to make this cool bracelet shown here. I love fiber, fabric, quilting and all things textile... however, I do need to take a break from it. Especially now, when I'm so busy with a lot challenging quilt deadlines. This will be a fun afternoon out.
