The challenge is to bring something to the January meeting whether it’s fabric or
an object and it must be used in the challenge. Inspiration was from a book by
Jane Davila. Find her on Facebook at Jane Davila, and on Instagram at @JaneDavila. Here’s a sample of her collage/found objects work, from her Facebook page:
We are looking for ideas for a March challenge, and suggestions for workshops you are interested
