A stash busting challenge is something I have needed to do for a while as my fabric stash has got a bit out of hand recently! It will also encourage me to complete any works-in-progress (hopefully!)
This is what I have started with, 2 car caddies as presents for a party Joe went to yesterday. I used the Homemade by Jill tutorial but made the it a little taller and the road a little wider this time.
I also finished this mini quilt from this tutorial. Unfortunately I couldn't print on the fabric with our printer so had to trace it (mine looks a little bit different because A4 paper is different to the standard size US letter paper) I did mine with a variegated purple embroidery thread which with hindsight doesn't look as impressive as I thought it be! It is a long time since I have done any embroidery and it shows!
I definately need to improve my hand sewing skills so I think I may be doing this again with different fabric and brighter coloured threads!

100 days of not spending on new crafting stuff is a great idea. I think it encourages more creative ideas when limited to what is on hand.

I love this idea (I'm a TBW mom too!) Makes me feel like I've already started to participate too since I just made a couple dresses for my daughter this weekend out of T-shirts I had around the house. 100 days seems like an awfully long time though. ;)
