    Did anyone take part in the Elvis Challenge" sponsored by Big Horn Quilts?
    I did, and had quite a bit of fun with it, but I'm glad to say he "left the building" yesterday on his journey to Wyoming. I'm very curious to see what the other entrants did with the (awful) fabric! That was my first attempt at quilting competion, and now I think I'm hooked!
    Next...It's on to the Hoffman Challenge. Wow! Is the fabric pretty! I don't have the slightest idea what I'm going to do with it, but I'll think of something :roll:
    Hmmmm....
    Stay warm!

    What?? No picture?? Isn't that illegal here to mention a quilt and not include a picture?? :D :wink: I would love to see it.

    I've seen those Hoffman challenges on Keepsake quilting, maybe? Waaay over my head to try one of those. I'd love to see what others do!

    I hope these come through OK. Trying to send a couple of pictures... Theme of the quilt was "Viva Las Vegas."
    I truly had fun with this...but of course now can think of many ways to have made it better...
    Keep warm!
