A Couple of Simple Challenges

Judy Laquidara has a very interesting blog!!  She has challenges, recipes, great daily stories, etc.  While looking at her latest blog, I saw a challenge or two that I think I will give a try.  One is a cooking challenge...she will list ingredients once a week and participants are to use them in some way make a dish using them, picture and post.

The other challenge is "Getting It Done"....a monthly list of four things to accomplish along the quilting/creative lines, post the list; then, on the last day of the month, repost what was accomplished!  That sounds more doable for me than a daily or weekly challenge and an inspiration or "check list" to get things done!

So for the month of January...my four goals are:

• Finish my Art Quilt Around the World Challenge "Self Portrait".
• Do my Bead Journal Challenge
• Get at least half the Paper pieced triangles done for our bed quilt/cover.
• Do the blocks for the new Mystery Quilt "Back to Square One"

It Came in the Mail!

A Book from Julie Waldmann

A couple of weeks ago, i was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Julie Waldmann who was notifying me that I was the winner of her latest giveaway. And today, this beautiful book came in the mail!  Now, I do not usually work in reproduction fabrics, but this year, my guild has chosen the theme for our annual quilt show "Memories" and the focus is on '30's fabrics.  I volunteered to be in charge of the Members Challenge Quilt so I think this book will come in very handy!!!  There is also going to be an apron challenge and this book just happens to have an apron pattern!

Although I did not do the "15 Minute Challenge" this week, I did actually get quite a bit of time to spend in my studio.  So I guess I will repost the logo for this challenge and at least post what I can, when I can....starting next week!  And I will have a zentangle challenge to post this week also..I missed last week's from the Diva.
