By now I have come to LOVE and HATE Project Challenge 2012. I look at all the projects submitted and I feel like it is picking my favorite child. You all have made such different and beautiful bags that I know we will all be cringing during voting time.

I love the fact that each one of you created bags with so many different functions and all different sizes. This one was by far the most varied challenge and I think you guys are doing really well thinking outside the box.

You can see all of the entries here

This month we have Mother's day and many of us have family dinners to show appreciation to the many mothers in our families. So we thought what way to incorporate a challenge and possible Mother's Day gift than in a wine cover/bag project. This is a great gift for Mother's day (of course with or without a bottle.. but with is always nicer) because it works well as a personal gift to someone in your family or for you children's teacher/coach/sitter etc.

Above we used the Rhapsodia collection. Fabric used is Artistan Ruby, Boho Sitches Sand, Frida's Dream Red and Terre Stamps Smoke.

So now to the nitty gritty of the challenge.

1. Must use the drawstring technique.

2. BONUS if you add an embroidery technique.

That's it ladies (and gents if there is one of you out there)

As always the rules are:

1. Join our Facebook group to enter into the challenge, and "like us" if you want…
2. Must use Art Gallery Fabrics ONLY to make the projects.
3. Must be completed and submitted in the allotted time.
4. Must let your imagination run wild!

All entries must be submitted by 12 am on May 31, 2012. They must be original works and use only AGF fabric.

Judging:  We will have 7 more people voting this month …  AGF team (5 votes), our great designer & creative director Pat Bravo (1 vote) and awesome designer Bari J. (1 vote.)

May your thread be strong and your machine be speedy! Get set GO!!

XOXO, Anais
