I didn't know it was a consensus on the FQ to enter. I don't have an
objection but I think there should be something on the yahoo site and the
members should have been advised before it was posted on RCTQ.

: I received a few requests from folks who have just joined us in the
: newsgroup -- and others who for whatever reason missed the original
: posts....
:
: So one more "last call" for folks to join the fun! Challenge yourself to
: finish some of those UFO's! Or finally get that one special project out
of
: your brain and onto your cutting table... and then the sewing machine!
:
: Here are the rules (with a few changes as agreed upon by the group)
:
: The challenge is simple: Identify a project (or projects) that you want
to
: complete before December 31, 2005. All entered quilts must measure at
least
: 120 inches in perimeter. Done means: pieced, quilted, bound and
: LABELED!!! Hopefully -- once completed, you can send me a picture
(either
: hard copy via snail mail) or a digital image. I have created a Yahoo!
: Groups page where we can track each others progress and post pictures of
our
: finished work!
:
:
: Here is the deal: Each participant sends me one FQ to start off the pot.
: That guarantees us at least 30 FQ's to get us going!
:
: Enter as many projects as you wish BUT... for each one you enter, if you
: don't finish, you will owe the "challenge" a FQ. At the end of the year,
I
: will create a roster of who met the challenge and who fell short. For
each
: project you entered AND completed, I will enter your name in the FQ POT --
: which will be full of the FQ's that those who fail to finish a project
and
: owe one FQ for each uncompleted project. Then we
: will draw a name(or names -- depending on how many we end up with) to
: receive the FQ's. A lucky quilter (or 2 or 3) will start receiving
: squishies in the mail soon thereafter!!! Projects must be either new or
: unfinished -- the one you finished last week does NOT count!
:
: So -- Please send the following information to me via email (grovesfam at
: comcast dot net)
:
: 1) your complete real name AND your RCTQ nickname
: 2) your snail mail address
:
: and for each project you wish to enter:
:
: 3) Name (just to identify it -- doesn't have to be finished name -
Janie's
: quilt or Sam's wallhanging)
: 4) Anticipated Size (lap, twin, king... or 35 x 50 -- just a general
idea)
: 5) Is it a completely new project you've wanted to do but never
started...
: or a UFO
: 6) Anything else you wish to share about this project.
:
: I will then add your information to our database. Then as each of you
: complete a project and
: hopefully either send me a picture or post directly to the Yahoo! Groups
: page, I will update the database
: so we can motivitate and congratulate each other as the year goes on!
:
: That's it! So send me the details... please ... IN YOUR EMAIL TO ME...
put
: this in the Subject Line: GET IT DONE IN 2005 -- so I can be sure and
not
: miss it -- or have it accidentally tossed as spam.
:
: We'll extend the deadline to April 15th -- US Tax Day Deadline!
:
: Thanks... I look forward to seeing what everyone hopes to accomplish this
: year! Hopefully we will have LOTS and LOTS of happy dancing! Email me
: privately if you have questions!
