It's been a month since I posted about the "putting idea books to use" challenge. Lots of you have joined in and posted some beautiful pictures of your projects to the flickr group. Thanks so much for participating with me! The group on flickr will continue to be open because there are lots more projects and lots more project books out there waiting to be used.
I'll be posting the projects that I made with my idea books later on this week, but in the meantime, go ahead an link up your projects in the widget below. Make sure that your flickr link or blog link includes the name of the book and project that you used.
I'll select a winner at random to win the above tote bag, made from Weekend Sewing, and I'll also include some yarn or fabric and other goodies based on the winner's crafting interests. I'll leave the drawing open until Friday at 3:00PM EST so that everyone gets a chance to enter (and finish up those last minute projects).
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to make anything from books! I've had many, many things bookmarked though hehe
ReplyDeleteI still have so many projects I want to make, and didn't get very much done. Well only one to be exact :)
ReplyDeleteIt just dawned on me that my latest finish was done from one of my favorite books - I'm off to enter!
ReplyDeleteI made a few projects using idea books....The one I'm posting is actually a spin off the tote I made back in January. Larissa from Stitches in Play posted her version and I followed her tutorial. She makes things so easy.
ReplyDeleteI've been flipping through my craft books and post-it-ing potential projects!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea that you are motivating me to go look through some of the books I've bought!
ReplyDeleteI love my Zakka Sewing book. And I really enjoy your blog, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteugh - failed miserably on this one! I need to have a plan!
ReplyDeleteIt was such fun and motivation to get at least one thing done. I;m looking forward to exploring the flickr gallery.
ReplyDeleteoh i totally dropped the ball on this one. and i am so sad, because that bag is completely amazing!!
ReplyDeletei still plan on making my long-neglected project... but as you can guess i will continue to neglect it for a while before actually getting around to it :)
i'm happy the flickr group continues open! the challenge and group was a brillian idea!

ps. love the bag! and many thanks for the chance to win! you are so generous!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on something right now from a Japanese quilt block book. I'll post in the group when I get a chance. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh, my crafting has really fallen off this past month. I just barely started on the first practice sock from New Pathways for Sock Knitters. Please don't include me in the drawing - I didn't actually finish anything during your time frame - but many thanks to you for the inspriration and encouragement. I'll finish that sock sometime soon!
