Wow great to have so many people wishing to join Sky is the Limit group. Welcome to you all. I was worried the group was going to collapse as we were reduced to about 3 people posting regularly.
As a long time member of the group, actually with it from its formation a very big welcome to all of you. It looks like we will live on. Wil Opio Oguta has been the mainstay of the group.
We were running it with members having posted themes to Wil and she picked them out of the hat every month but our numbers dwindled as people found they could not keep up with a monthly challenge.
The group more of less collapsed and I think only about 3 people were posting work so how about us taking up the February theme of LONG WALK HOME and setting our goal as 4 pieces each 12 x 12 inches per year. If we start as if at beginning of May then our posting dates for our pieces would be JULY, OCTOBER, JANUARY, APRIL. This avoids the Christmas business for people.
How about we take in turns to suggest a theme? As you can see I have jumped in taking the theme that was already running in the group but had no postings of work.
Work can be anything you want to do. It would be lovely if we got into the way of posting our thoughts progress etc during the making time. rather than just posting images of a finished piece.
It is up to us how we organise the group so lets have your views and we can work from there.
Everyone please feel free to respond to this so we get going.
Irene MacWilliam in a lovely sunny day in Northern Ireland.... I live outside Belfast.
Well said Irene! I shall finish my 'Long Walk Home' if I have some company. It just needs quilting etc.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestions for themes are as follows: 'In a Spin': 'On the Roof': 'Games People Play': 'Loneliness or Alone'
I agree with your time scale & thought that perhaps there could be choice of 2 themes as well as the opportunity to do both if one wished.

Good to see your response
ReplyDeleteHow about Jenny you making a new post and put that proposal forward and perhaps suggesting an alternative to Long Walk Home. I suggest this in case your reply to my post does not get seen. I am fine with 2 themes and those of us who are keen or maybe like both themes could do both!
Check out the yahoo group. I posted a poll there to make up our minds regarding how we pick themes.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this poll to be found? I thought that this WAS the Yahoo group. I am willing to do a post as Irene suggested above but you are in charge of the group. I just want to see it restarted so we do not disappoint our new members as we are now at a respectable 15.
DeleteThis is the blog, not the yahoo group. Jenny, I send you a new invitation for the group.
ReplyDeleteI am confused!! I do not know where this Yahoo group is & therefore I haven't realised that the theme is definitely 'A Long Walk Home'. Can someone put me right? As it happens, I did a design for it before so it only needs stitching.
