I shared this recently at my new Art Etc Quilt group. I’ve never posted my process on this but today seems like a good time to do that. This was a challenge from my New Hampshire CC group at our second reveal. The challenge was “green.” Each participant had to use at least 7 values […]

Whenever I’m in a challenge, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to participate, have fun, and learn something new in the process. And trust me, there’s always something new to learn! While Skyping with the Creative Conglomeration in New Hampshire, our latest challenge, “letters,” was given by Ellen Fisher. She gave no size […]

Marie Joerger, my dear friend over a Marie’s Creative Space blog, and I started a challenge group a few years back. Even tho I’ve moved far away, we continue to stay in touch and I thought I’d share a post that she’s put up on our blog. The Creative Conglomeration has been a great source of […]

Back in the winter of 2011 my friend and I went on the hunt for a few quilters that wanted to come together to challenge one another to grow as fiber artists. Through the process, we each learned new techniques and ways of expressing that creativity. The Creative Conglomeration – CC for short is still meeting […]

Here’s a peek at my most recent challenge piece. It’s for two challenges rolled into one! That may have been the real challenge, in and of itself.
