What it's all about


The Challenge: Stay away from the craft stores for ONE WHOLE YEAR! This, my friends, is a challenge for me. My craft room is ridiculously overflowing. I LOVE thinking/finding new fun crafts to create and then going to the store to collect the supplies. Unfortunately, many of these projects never get finished; some never even get started. So here I am, challenging myself to not buy any craft supplies and yet still create crafts everyday!
The Exceptions: Inevitably I will need to purchase things like adhesives, glue, and thread. Well maybe not thread... Also gifts are allowed. If a family or friend feels so inclinded to send me a gift of crafts supplies who am I to refuse? I may not finish a project a day, but I will at least try. I have two small children who take up most of my time. I also enjoy other crafts like quilting. Therefore, sometimes the projects just won't get done in a day. But, I promise to try my best!

Day 66: Dr. Seuss Quilt

Finally!  I have completed the Dr. Seuss quilt! 

Here's the back!
 
Too bad I bought the fabric and started sketching before I realized there was a cute quilt pattern out there already!  No worries, I like to make things more challenging!  I first bought the Cat in the Hat panel and six fat quarters of the fabrics I liked the best.  Then I sketched it out.  After I knew how big the blanket was going to be and what other fabrics I would need to complete the design, I went back to the quilt store to get the other fabrics.  Unfortunately they were out of most of the great fabrics, just remnants left.  That is why I ended up using two different patterns for the back.  I think I goes with the vibrant colors of the quilt! Right now I am still trying to figure out how to best do this Blogger thing, otherwise I would post more pics.  I just can't seem to get them right.
