When visiting Kathryn Sheehan's apartment in the City one time, Ruth took photos of the buildings and skyline from the window... her quilt depicts the view. Wonderful stuff eh!

Ruth - I find it very funny when with my SCQuilter friends, iPhones reign supreme. I love it and I learn so much :-) Ruth was using her iPhone to show us the colour inspiration for her quilt, click to see the paint colours from Kevin McCloud

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.
Wendy's name was pulled out of the tin for the 2009 Challenge.
2009 - Bali Watercolours - chosen by Wendy.
Donna's name was pulled out of the bus tin for next years Challenge.
2010 - Pink hand dyes with one other fabric - chosen by Donna.
Brenda's name was pulled out of the tin for the 2011 Challenge
2011 - Kaffe Fassett - Asian Circles - Chosen by Brenda
Lyn's name was pulled out of the tin for 2012.
2012 - 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'.
