Initial thoughts??

Le Challenge #22 - WOOD

It's been over two years since the start of le challenge. Nat and I have made projects for every theme during that time and, even if it was a little late, we always make something to show you in the post where you link up your finishes. I'm impressed with us. 

Life can get in the way though and Nat will be skipping this month because she and her littlest have been poorly. She's doing better now and will be back in the game for the next challenge :)

So here's what I made:

We hope you've been getting on with your projects for the theme 'wood' but here's some ideas to help spark some creativity...

head Into The Woods with fabric by Lella Boutique

or be inspired by stories set in the woods, like these gorgeous patterns: 

Wolf Bait Cape pattern and Rose Red Woodland Doll pattern by Lella Boutique

this growth chart has a great woodland theme

you could be more literally and use wood patterns as inspiration: 

Nature Tree Rings, Northwoods Artisan Batiks by Lunn Studios and 

Green Wood, Happy Harvest by Doodlebug Design

or even woodcuts! 

or you could be inspired by beach wood, like this Driftwood pattern

and the possibilities for creating things literally made of wood are endless!!

I have to admit to not starting yet (ekkk!) but there's still one week to go until the link opens and I have an idea brewing.

Pop back on the 15th of May to link up your finished projects based on the theme 'wood' and a random winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop :)

If you are new round these woods then please head here to read the what we're all about and the 'rules'.

How is everyone getting on? Any more ideas you'd like to add leave a comment!

And the winner is...

no 12, Amanda who blogs at the Patchsmith and shared her wonderful tradition of having fresh tulips in the house once the daffodils have finished.. 

See you all next month. 

Naturally a new theme...

Let's go for a walk down to the woods, a bright example of this month's theme

We hope you won't be stumped by this month's theme:

Definitely not the most obvious theme but we are hoping you will really push your creativity with this one! There are many ways to incorporate the theme WOOD (my childish self is giggling) and to actually use wood as a material obviously.

not long now... {fabric inspiration}

Just popping in to remind you that the link for the 'tradition' challenge will open on Tuesday next week!

If you're new to le challenge this month we want you to link up anything based on the theme tradition - it can be interpreted however you like so long as you link to any finished crafty project made in the past month, see all the rules HERE.

You might want to use a traditional pattern mixed with reproduction fabrics as this Mint Jelly and Jam Quilt Kit does

or kick it old school like Hidden Vintage Farmhouse

maybe you like a little period drama with Downton Abbey?

or perhaps you are a Family Guy and have a way to create something based on family traditions?

Or even a holiday tradition? (don't hate me, I know it's only April but some people like to be prepared!! and The Very Hungry Caterpillar is so cute!)

Is saying 'Cheers' a tradition?

I know some of you are already finished and hope you're all excited about seeing all the makes inspired by TRADITION
