Last Saturday, the 19th of September saw the Revelations of the Kambrachallenge for 2009.

Wendy Pang chose these fabrics for us and the Challenge was to make something using at least one piece of all of these Bali Watercolours and you may use as many other fabrics as you wish!

Michelle - 2009 - Bali Watercolour.

Michelle Watters.
Michelle made these handy little drink coasters and gave one to each of us!! Michelle can be one of those 'Last Minute Larries' but she always comes up trumps!

Nola - 2009 - Bali Watercolours.

Nola Archer.
Nola made this fantabulous book, each page says something that was on her mind or happened to her in April this year.

At the end of our Show and Tell it was Donna's turn to show us what she's chosen for our 2010 Kambrachallenge... here it is... 18 packages...
... of 8 thin quarters of Lisa Walton's pink hand dyes, graded from light to dark. Of course there were groans, it wouldn't be the Kambrachallenge if there weren't but you just wait till next year and everyone will knock our socks off.
The next name out of the hat was Brenda's, she has almost 12 months to choose our challenge for 2011.

EXTRA-EXTRA-EXTRA! You didn't know the Paparazzi were there did you!

These photos were sent to me by one of us, you can tell who it was because, like all Paparazzi there is no photo of her here! :-) I played with the photos though so you really have to blame me!

Donna Donna Donna...
Robyn: I like Ruth's new hairstyle!
Lyn: Yes so do I.

Wendy: Who did THAT!
