"Stitch It Up"

THING 1: Trouble Maker

says, "Our requirement for this challenge is simple... use stitching somewhere in your project. There are many possibilities for using paper scraps, stencils, and even embossing folders to create patchwork, quilting, and/or knit designs. Consider using punch- or die-cutting, hand or machine sewing, piercing, hand-drawn stitching, needlework or cross-stitching, etc... so, keep calm and stitch on. 'Stitch It Up' and show us your creativity."

You can stop here...

UseTwisted Sister's optional twist to create some stitchery on one of the AHSC Sketches.

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Well, most of you know my specialty... I usually provide you with an optional twist, but I'm simply sayin' that if you have used either of the Atlantic Hearts sketches below, within the dates required, you will earn another chance in our random drawing for each time you use the sketch.

AHSC #604
Mon Nov 18th - Nov 24th

AHSC #605
Mon Nov 25th - Dec 1st

"Although the sketches are designed for the holidays, interpretation of the sketches is up to you. You can also consider using other events such as Thanksgiving, Autumn, a birthday, or another special day... it's your choice.

"You can also change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. You may vary the shapes and add a sentiment as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."

When you use either of these sketches, you will earn another chance in our random drawing.

THING 2: Double Dare

says, "In keeping with Thing 1's requirement, 'Stitching', if you have used one of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges, you can enter your project.

"Note: AHSC are weekly sketch challenges (Monday through Sunday)... so make sure you are submitting to the proper sketch challenge and the right dates. Links are provided by clicking on the sketch below."
