I have and did very well, but unfortunately I saw other people get very disappointed because the craftmanship was poor, they added colors that were to the dislike of the other participant and didn't like their choice of project. When you enter a challenge like this you have to open your mind to the idea that the person may make something you don't like. Is always a good idea to include a note if you really dislike something, like :I have to many table runner, or not another tote, etc. The most creative one I saw was the work Quilt. The letters were cut out of foam and the fabric used to cover the foam. They were held together by a small rope. I thought it was creative and the recipient was in tears because it was not quilted. She was expecting a quilt. Be open minded.
