I'll join in!  I'd prefer another American to save on postage, but it's not required.

I'll give some options for colors.

My sewing room comfy chair could use a cushion- colors there are dark red and yellow/gold (not lemon), with some mossy green.

Living room has dusky blues and beige/tan/brown.

Master bedroom will soon be redone in yellows and greys.

Oh, I knew, I forgot something... the colours!!

I would love to have something contrasting like a bright yellow-orange-red on a black background. Bright green and blue is also okay, but please NO PINK OR VIOLET and no pastels ;)

Deadline for registering will be midnight on the 28th February 2019.

How many are we already?

It seems that last year we had six weeks and it ran into April.
March 20th to April 30th
Can we do that again? I don't finish work until the end of March. I understand completely if you don't want to change the dates now but I'd appreciate the extra stressing time.   :[

Roll up, roll up peeps!! It's great fun, doesn't have to be perfect to be appreciated, is not overwhelming  ( I freak out at the mere mention of zips or buttonholes ) as you can choose your size and fastening.
Moreover it is a good way for Non Darksiders ( perish the thought that they still exist ) to dip their toes in the water.
Come on now... join in.....you know you want to
