The Modern Mini Challenge...

You must have heard about this one...


I am so thrilled to have been asked to be involved in the Modern Mini Challenge.  

"This is your opportunity to try something new, something fun, something on a small scale.  Take that big idea and give it a try in mini form."

Here are the main details:

6th-19th February...

Modern Mini Challenge Blog Hop. Bloggers share their modern minis and kick-start your creativity. Get inspired, get creative, get those ideas flowing!

20th Feb-4th March...
Weeks 3 & 4:  Sew. Sew. Sew!
Work on those minis and create your Modern Mini Challenge piece.

5th - 9th March...
Week 5:  Enter the Contest!
Link up your Modern Mini Challenge piece at Ellison Lane Quilts. Voting begins that week and winners are announced on March 9th!
