How about having a big WIPGO board (40 ideas etc) with a large selection of sewing projects/ideas on it that everyone can contribute towards and then you just pick out what you fancy doing for that week or month, you may even like to do something that somebody else has submitted. At least if you pick a project you're more likely to join in as there will be something for everyone, darkside/lightside. If a sewing competition is put in place for say January to complete an item of clothing with stars on for example, then it might not suit everyone so you feel a bit left out and then don't bother sewing anything. We can still have the sewalongs on Tues/Wed and share what we've done......just a thought. Once a month we can say what number square we are working on and i also think it takes the pressure away of trying to get something completed by the deadline.
