@Iminei, I have intelligence the @Renegade Sewist wants pincushions to be included - she also kind of volunteered to help with a list
@Manuela is basically correct. I have a few ideas that might be of interest but still being a relative newcomer I'm not too sure of what we typically do in the Darkside challenge and Competition wise.I know about Project Linus, which is also done locally to me but I don't participate as the coordinator for my region won't accept anything made in a home with pets or smokers. My cats are disappointed. I guess we do some exchanges and sew-alongs, but how specific are the sew-alongs? Just a theme ( color me blue, Springtime in Paris), type of work (P&Q, applique), type of item (mug-rug, table runners and placemats) or specific type of quilt (disappearing 9 patch, 1600 quilt). Examples off the top of my head to illustrate my question, not necessarily suggestions, although a few of them might actually be good.
And yes, I do have a hankering for making pincushions. And a very large bag of crushed walnut shells mocking me.
