GET IT DONE Challenge - latecomers welcome!!
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! Kate in Michigan grovesfam at comcast dot net |

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. -- Mary aka mardor48 on yahoo http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Kate G." wrote in message ... : 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!

Labeled? Eeeeek! I've never labeled a single quilt I've ever made.
