C'mon Darksiders,

I need ideas of what you would like to see going on in the Darkside this year.

Competitions ? Mystery Quilt ? Quiltalongathon ? ....

Anything Darkside goes!

We have a new year of TSP BOM going and just decided on a mid-month PP BOM !!! Woo Hoo !!!

But its your ideas and involvement that matter and will make 2018 a Great year for the Darkside at TSP!

I enjoyed making a mini quilt for TSP Bear. Would there be enough interest for a mini quilt swap amongst darksiders?

Alternatively we could infiltrate other areas of TSP by being mug-rug/coaster angels and offering to make a mug-rug or coaster for non-darkside members of TSP. These could be posted as a large letter within the UK and wouldn't be too costly to send abroad (participants could indicate if they were willing to post internationally).

I like the mug rug idea.... or something else small and useful.
A Mug Rug swap?

Anything which brings us together..... lapquilts based on restricted colours..... cushion competition....blockswap.....anything to get us going and talking over ideas together.
I like the idea of bom and ppbom and even an applique bom for those who are clever enough.... it gives the rest of us some ideas for the future  <3
Triumph of hope over experience :D

A joint enterprise quilt for a charity.  Each person does a block, someone volunteers to join them, someone to add borders, someone to quilt and someone to bind.

Sorry no ideas whatsoever. Sewing/P&Q mojo has gone, can't even be bothered to go into the sewing room. This bug has so much to answer for.

How about something aimed at non quilters, to tempt us over?  Some kind of easy beginners quilting tutorial type thing, maybe involving a little competition?
