2010 Seminar Challenge

 We are pleased to announce that your challenge for the 2010 Seminar is to embellish an apron. There are no limitations or requirements on what you can use or do to embellish your apron, so please use your imagination, a little bit of this, and a lot of that – all of which I’ve seen in abundance many times at MEOW. I’m hoping to see some beads, some machine embroidery, some free motion embroidery, maybe even some cutwork?

 The voting will only be on the embellishment, NOT the apron, because we want the embellishment to be the focus of your creativity, time and efforts (instead of spending your time trying to make the apron and never getting to the fun part of embellishment). That means you can use an apron straight off the store shelf, the new one from the pattern you’re dying to make, or the one you really don’t want to give up that accidentally was “embellished” by the chocolate syrup last night.

 Please note that we are returning to the challenge format this year. In years past, rather than an exchange like in recent years, it was a display of your wonderful creations, and each member took home her own project at the end of Seminar. If you would also like to participate in an apron exchange, please send an email to me to let me know of your interest. If there are enough that respond, we can do both an exchange and the challenge.

 Remember – this year you will be taking your own apron home, so we challenge you to embellish your apron so it will WOW us all.

 Any questions? Please let me know.
