President's Challenge 2024
Using the Unused

Hello BAMQ Members,
My challenge for 2024 is about using items we purchased and have never used. There are two parts to the challenge – fabric and rulers. Let’s pull out these unused items, play with them, remember what drew us to them in the first place, and finish a project using them.

Jaye L - Bluestem Chrysanthemum Pouch

This is one of the new patterns from Sew Sweetness. I used a Philip Jacobs fabric I have been hoarding after receiving another piece of it for my birthday. I decided to 'use the good stuff'. Usually I buy the acrylic templates for this designer's patterns, but she didn't have them for this particular pouch.

Eleanor J - Tumbler

Most of the fabrics were stash, about 1/8 a yard were charm packs, other fabrics were strips. It's a scrappy quilt to donate. The ruler, TUMBLER Template was a gift from a friend that I have had more than 5 years and never used. I was so excited to use the fabric and the ruler, as a new member that I made it and donated it my first month as a new member.

Fabrics Used = 10

Rulers Used = 1

Catherine W - OV Califronia

Nine foot long California themed table runner. I have been collecting California and nautical themed fabric for a long long time. I was asked to make a table runner for an event and was happy to have a reason to use these horded fabrics.

Fabrics Used = 8
