Yay! It's time to select a goal and link it up to Elm Street Quilts. There is a link at the bottom of this post.
I struggled for a bit, trying to decide. Then I got a reminder from the unofficial leader of our Loose Threads group. We are loosely organize, our choice! No rules, no officers, no problems! Anyway, it was a reminder that we had a Challenge due at our retreat scheduled for October. The retreat has been cancelled but the challenge is still on! I am a procrastinator, by nature. I work better under pressure?
So that is my OMG......get the challenge project done and ready to reveal whenever we are able to meet again. Maybe a Christmas party?
Here is what Kathy gave each of us last year.
A lunch-bag-sized brown paper bag full of a bunch of stuff.
Mine had 2 fat quarters of fabric, 1 mini charm pack, some pompoms with silver accents, a styrofoam bird, plaid ribbon, 2 white feathers, and a bottle of glitter glue and a brown pencil. Plus this list of weird holidays.
Holiday list.
Our instructions were to make something after choosing a holiday! Use two items from the bag in our project.
I chose 6/6 Drive Inn Movie Day! because......
I happened to have in my stash, this fabric. It was purchased in 2009 to make curtains for my daughter's bedroom. She moved, I saved it! Then our granddaughter was in a house that had a theater room. She had some big pillows, I covered 4 of them. Still fabric left.
I will be making a pocket pillow with the Drive In fabric. I'll use the mini charms to make a panel to be the front pocket. I'll cut out and fuse some of the movie words to the pillow top and maybe embellish with some glitter paint, or a feather or pompoms. I won't be using the Styrofoam bird and probably not the red plaid ribbon.
