Welcome

Welcome to the 2009 Christmas Challenge. All you need to do for this Challenge is to stitch and finish one Christmas ornament during the month and post a picture! If you don't stitch/finish, you don't post! There is absolutely no pressure with this Challenge - no exchanging so therefore no mailing deadlines or postal costs, no 'extras' and, best of all, you get to keep what you stitch. This Challenge is to encourage you to stitch and finish and avoid the last minute Holiday stitching. Above all it is meant to be fun, so let's get a great start to 2009 and see how many of us can produce an ornament for January.

This Challenge is open to anyone so, if you would like to join in, please email me - there is a link on my profile (here) but note that the blog will only allow 100 authors/members. If you complete the challenge, please post your picture with details of the design and any other information you wish to add.

I have post-dated this entry to keep it at the top.

Edited: We have now 100 members so no new members can be accepted at this time.

    I can't read the challenge because of the background that you have.

    Yay! Sounds like fun! I already have my first one picked out. Just need the threads probably. Two months for one ornament...I think I can do it! =)

    I would love to join but I can't find the correct link to email you. I'm having trouble reading your site. The words seem to be blending into the background color.

    Please, if room is still avavilable, may I join?

    hugs

    I see that I am not the only one having trouble reading the text.
    More than half of the wording is
    obscured by the cute snowman and the swirling snow! Please fix this
    so that we may all read the notes and comments.
    This is a fantastic blog with such
    beautiful stitching!
