Time For a Challenge
This is going to be an ongoing challenge for myself and if you would like to join in just let me know and if you have a blog and post something related to the challenge I will link to you when I next write about the challenge.
First a question. How many magazines do you have? How many of those have you completed a project out of or even tried a technique? I have more magazines than I think I could ever count. I have always had the idea to catalogue them into a computer database so I could search them and find just what I needed but if I take time to do that then I would never have time to do the project. But, if I can’t find that magazine I saw that great idea in then I will never get to do it. In circles we go.
So, I have devised a plan, sort of. My challenge is to go through my magazines (in no particular order) and not only find a project I want to do but to actually do it. Now, I have one stipulation and that is I don’t have to follow the directions exactly as written unless I am trying to master a certain technique. Although I have hundreds of books, patterns and magazines, I find it very hard to make a design exactly as shown. I am one of those people who can’t stand kits to make a duplicate of the quilt hanging on the quilt store wall. Mine has to be different. I like to pick out my own fabrics and colors.
That’s it, at least for now. My deadline for myself is June 15 to find a project and get it started on by the end of June. I would love to start this weekend but we are going out of town for the holiday. Again, just let me know if you want to join in or if you have any ideas.
