Kambrachallenge is a relaxed group of friends who met online through the Southern Cross Quilters, they make a challenge quilt each year. The challenge is decided by one of the group in turn, not everyone likes every challenge, not everyone makes a quilt but on the Kambrachallenge Revelation day everyone brings along something relating to the challenge be it a quilt, a jacket, a dilly bag, a brooch or even a block. This is a closed group.
Kambrachallenge History.
1999 - Calypso by Jennifer Sampou.
Pennie and Kathryn H. buy the same pack of fabrics in Canberra. While we were admiring and fondling them Kathryn said we wouldn't be able to put all the fabrics in the same quilt, those words to Pennie were a... Challenge!
2000 - Basic Essentials by Jennifer Sampou.
During the Canberra Quilt Show a group of SCQuilters loved the results of the 'Calypso Challenge' so decided to buy another pack of fabrics and the 'Kambrachallenge' was under way properly. Those who joined that day were Brenda, Kathryn S., Maggie, Nola, Michelle, Ruth and Wendy.
Deciding the Challenge - The choice for the next challenge was very fraught, nine quilters in a shop all trying to decide which fabric pack to choose does not make for a happy decision so as a last resort a collection of Belle France was chosen.
2001 - Belle France.
Joining us this year was Betty.
This is the first year that groans and complaints were to be heard so after the revelations we decided to put all our names into a hat and asked the Waitress to pull one out.
2002 - Stripes - chosen by Betty.
Joining us this year were Jenny, Kate, Lyn, Robyn and Stephanie.
2003 - Red and White - chosen by Kathryn H.
Joining us this year were Donna and Loz.
We now numbered 16 and decided to 'Close' the Group.
As most of our members lived at least 3 hours drive from Sydney we decided to hold our Revelations half way... in Mittagong.
2004 - Seminole - chosen by Kathryn S.
This was the first time we decided to meet at Pennie's home, she had room for sleep overs and that's what the Canberra group have continued to do.

2006 - From your Stash/On the Body - Jenny and Kate.
Before the Revelations I decided to make an Executive Decision and go back to packs of fabrics so asked Michelle to choose some fabrics for the next challenge.After we received our fabrics from Michelle for the 2007 challenge we decided to pull a name out of the hat for the following challenge and give that person 12 months to decide.
2007 - Red, Black and Cream - chosen by Michelle.
