Kambrachallenge: August 2011

Lyn's name came out of the hat ( 'bus tin' ) last year so she got to choose our Kambrachallenge for 2012 which is:-
Make 'THE Something' you have always wanted to make, something you have been inspired by in a magazine or book or photo and bring along the inspiration with your ‘Something’.

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.
2005 - Circles - chosen by Loz.
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.
Stephanie's name was pulled from the bus tin.
2008 - This is your Life - chosen by Stephanie.
This year we invited Erica, Lisa and Nic to join us which boosted our numbers to 18.

All has been revealed... the Kambrachallenge 2011.

This years Kambrachallenge was:- Kaffe Fasset - Asian Circles - using some of this fabric and as many other fabrics as we like.

Pennie - 2011 Asian Circles. I made this Bonnie K. Hunter Mystery Quilt called 'Orange Crush' but I think it looks more like a 'Lime Crush'. I bought a little more of the Asian Circle fabric but all the other fabrics are from my stash.

Robyn - 2011 Asian Circles.

Ruth - 2011 Asian Circles. Ruth had a few more strips to go on this quilt, stay tuned for when it's all finished.

Stephanie - 2011 Asian Circles.

Wendy - 2011 Asian Circles. Wendy couldn't make it today so sent this photo of her Asian Circles in progress... Photo when finished please Wendy.

Brenda - 2011 Asian Circles. Brenda is in the process of moving and her fabric was packed away but she did find enough to make this Babushka to donate to the Pre-School Loz works at.

Donna - 2011 Asian Circles. Also couldn't make it but made this little bag for Brenda.

Loz- 2011 Asian Circles. A neat little carry bag.

Lyn - 2011 Asian Circles.

Maggie - 2011 Asian Circles.

Michelle - 2011 Asian Circles. Starting her Kambrachallenge at 7pm last night, Michelle crochet-ed this bowl full of sweeties!

Lisa didn't do the Kambrachallenge this year she was too busy finishing off this wonderful Exhibition for Huston later in the year... Wow! we just loved what she's made.
