My daughter, Beth, continually finds interesting quilting and fiber art challenges to participate in. You’ll see the latest on her Meandering Threads blog. It’s called Take a Stitch Tuesday.

It’s fascinating what you can do, and what each fiber artist does (see the participants on Sharon’s blog) create with various stitches.
