Tour de Fibre 2012 - let the preparations begin!

P1060495

Remember Tour de Fibre 2011 ?

Do you want to participate this year ?

Place: Wherever you sew
Time: June 30 - July 22 - just like Tour de France, the big bicycle race.

Goal: To have fun and move some projects forward.
Watching the bicycle race while sewing is optional :-)

You do not have to have a blog, but if you have somewhere to show photos, it just adds to the fun :-)
If you want, you can let me know you will participate, It is all up to you, as long as you have fun!

Challenge to self: Give these 4 projects the main focus from now through July 22!

Hexagons - no patterns, fabrics from my own fabric collection, 1,25" hexagons
Some Kind of Wonderful - online group BOM - from book, my own fabrics
Scandinavian Christmas - online group BOM - from Lynette Anderson pattern, my own fabrics
Life is Beautiful - Helen Stubbings (Hugs'n Kisses) book - my own fabrics.

I have been strong this year - not buying any BOM kits from any shops, just kept to patterns and books I already have in my own collection.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite,
and you do not know what it will bring back,
a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

  8. I am doing the SKOW as part of the SAL group, and have a hexagon quilt which I have been doing for years. I have the Life is Beautiful pattern but I won't start it until after I finish the SKOW quilt. Can I join the Tour de Fibre and just do the SKOW and the hexagon quilt only?
