Over on Stitcherie.com we had the idea that it would be fun to do quarterly challenges.  KB came up with the idea and it’s been a blast.  We pick a canvas and then invite different needlepoint designers or shopowners to create the rules.

Sometimes they say you have to use such and such a thread.  Other times they suggest certain stitches.  Who knows what the rules will be until the game begins.

Our mystery for June 1 – September 1 can be seen here.  There are several choices of canvases.  Good Ole Summertime from Dreamhouse Ventures is the one I have decided to play with.  You know how I feel about pink and green.

I realize that it’s now well in to August and I’m just now admitting that I’m going to do this challenge.  That might mean that I do it next year.  Oh well, the ideas are in my head and once I get started I’ll post pictures here and on Stitcherie to show you what I’m doing. It’s not too late to  join us.  It’s a great way to stretch your wings and experiment with no pressure.
