This sounds like a fun idea. I've set a goal to work in my studio as much as possible this year and this will keep me motivated.
I'm determined to have more hand-made gifts this year so any motivation wil be great - thanks!
What a great idea to start this now (I always run out of time!). Is there a button I can grab to put on my blog?
What about a project that was started previously but we can turn it into a Christmas gift and finish it?
I am a little confused. Do we "sign up" ? (I am a non-blogger, don't have my own web site, I am not part of Instagram, Photobucket, Flickr, etc. I read others people's posts and blogs, but not consistently.) If we sign up, how? Is the January Challenge just to commit to making something for Christmas presents/ decorations and then post a picture, or is it to create the "swirling tree" (which I thought was an embroidery design - but is it an appliqué/ quilt or something? The "prizes" - I assume that will be in December, 2014, maybe for those who participated in all 12 challenges? Sorry to be so confused!

Sue - please check the FAQ and let me know if you still have questions: http://www.sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2014/02/faq-for-challenges-and-shows.html
I'm almost as confused as Sue. I read the FAQ it did not help my question. If we sign or link up on Feb. 15th when do we post the item we make? And is that for Feb. or Mar.
Tonia,
I’ll try to clarify the rules on the post for the February Challenge, as well as the FAQ.
You can do a blog post anytime during the challenge window (e.g. February 15th-February 15th), which is always for a ten day period that month. And you can post anything that you’ve made in 2014 for Christmas gifts/decorations. E.G. you may have made it in January, but if it wasn’t shared in January you can share it in February (or any month), but only share it one time.
Does that help to clarify? If not, please let me know and I’ll try to do a better job to clarify.
wHAT FUN AND WONDERFUL PRIZES!!
I goofed and put the wrong picture on my want to be quilter
