April ~ May Challenge

Courthouse Steps

First things First

Had to laugh yesterday
upon opening an email from
Lori
(homespunprimsbylori)

...
we must have both seen this
antique piece
online
in the past few weeks
since this is
what she's working on

...
and it's the one
I had already chosen
for my first
Antique Inspiration Challenge
...
The challenge rules are fairly simple

~create your own piece
using the antique as inspiration...
you can hook, stitch or punch

~ send me a photo of your finished item
by midnight May 31st
do not post your photo
anywhere online before the contest ends

~I'll do a Random Drawing for
the prize winner from all entries
if a hooked or penny piece
wins you'll get wool
cotton piece gets quilt fabric
and so on...

Antique Quilt Block Challenge

It seems forever ago

I issued this challenge
for use of the antique quilt block
plus the option of
my added doodles...

even with an extended
deadline
response was small
~
but wonderful!

Thanks ladies
for your fine work
I love them all...

my own piece is still

in progress
