The Scrappy Stitchers have talked about doing a Christmas Block Challenge that will utilize our stash for awhile, so we have now embarked on this adventure. Nancy Kirkwood and Judy Williamson went to The Door Mouse and picked out our focus fabric for the blocks. They chose Heartfelt Holiday by Wing and Prayer designs for Timeless Treasures Fabrics of SoHo, LLc.(pictured here)

 

 

If any of the Scrappy Stitchers wish to be a part of this challenge, you need to let Nancy Kirkwood know, as she has the focus fabric. For $5 you will receive a 1/2 yard of this fabric. You are to search your stash (purchase if you don't have what you need) for fabrics to go with this to make your blocks. Truly trying to use this opportunity to decrease our stash. We are making 12 1/2" blocks (12" finished). The number of blocks needed, will depend on how many join this challenge. The block pattern to use is totally your choice. We will exchange blocks at our September 2013 workshop (further details to come). Nancy will be hosting a pot luck at her house in December of 2013 (further details to come) so everyone can show off what they have done on their quilt tops with the blocks they received. Happy sewing everyone!!!
