When Nesta and her Sister came to group

Well, now all the Challenges are in- for those of you not in the know, Louise set this years Challenge.

We all picked out (blind) a paint sample from an envelope with our initials on it. Three samples using your three initials (or two initials and your maiden name initial if your parents could only decide on one name!)
 The Challenge was to make an item using three random colours, and you could add you two more colours - plain or tone on tone (there was a bit of poetic licence used there ladies?!?!)

 Well what do you think?
(Please accept apologies for a bit photo heavy post, but I think they are worth a look.)

a couple of bags

beach hut wall hanging

an I Pad case (see the paint samples?)

A very posh Peg Bag

A ric-rac cushion and an Easter Egg hanging - very pretty

A couple of cushions and a Faux Chenille bag

A rather smart Art Nouveau wall hanging

a couple of bags and a miniature Pineapple quilt

Two more bags and a Table mat and Coasters

A very fancy Note Book cover

Some lovely Appliqué wall hangings

A rather effective table runner

A fabulous Compass quilt with a Flying Geese border ( again see the samples in the corner?)

Here is a lovely sewing tidy

A miniature and (I think) a Linus quilt

A lovely selection here

A bit like "Topsy" -- just kept on growing!!

Someone had a "Hoot!"

And we ALL know who made this cheeky little number

And then we had a bevy of cushions - Wonder if these ladies are all ready for the cushion raffle at our Exhibition?

And you may be asking what this all has to do with Nesta and her sister? -----

Well - Let me introduce you----

Aren't they just adorable??

This is how Nesta looks when she pops out for a coffee!!
And yes - this was her entry in the Challenge!!

love her lashes!!

Bet you wish you belonged to our group ??

A huge thank you to Louise for setting this years Challenge. I think (though we complained) that we all have had great fun with this idea. Looking forward to another Challenge this Christmas!
