Water Fantasy Challenge
October 11, 2019

This year’s challenge will be a “Water Fantasy” theme and be a “Brown Bag” challenge. Those deciding to sign up to do the challenge will be given a brown bag in week 5 (November 19). You must sign up in week 3 and 4 to get a brown bag in week 5.
You’ll receive a variety of fabric pieces which will include a piece of very fancy material that was donated….think of texture, glitter, sequins, gold or silver threads. Let your mind wander as you think about the theme. Be creative; plan. Then sew, embroider, bead or otherwise embellish or whatever……
