Looks like we have been bitten by the Halloween bug! I know I have. For a fun, non-stress challenge I'd like to propose making a Trick or Treat bag for yourself. Totes are all the rage right now, so let's make one just for ourselves. Make one that you would love to have just for you. Anything goes! No rules, regulations or sizes, it just needs to be Halloween themed and not a pre-fab purchased bag for the base. Let your imagination run wild. Post a picture of your bag so it can be voted on. Winner with the most votes get some treats to go in their bag! I'll work on getting the prizes together. How about a deadline of Oct 5th to post your picture, then open the voting until Oct 10th. Winner will be announced shortly after that. Please feel free to give feedback if any of this needs to be changed or if it's posted in the wrong place. Let the fun begin!

Sounds like fun!!!! i do love candy

This might be a stupid question -- but does it have to be quilted? :oops:

Not really :) your idea can incorporate any technique you want as long as it's not a pre-fab bag bought from a store.

Thanks. Sounds like fun! :D

That does sound like a lot of fun. I don't know if I can play or not. I may not have time.

This sounds great, I hope I have time!

Time???? whats that :lol:

I think this is a really good idea. Ideas are brewing! hehehe! Inspite of my best efforts to stay focused on my current projects I'm allready shopping!

Okay babeegirl I think you're on a great track with the "less is more" in the rules department. I thought when you grew up there were no rules, yeah right, uh hu, that was an incorrect assumption!

Okay sooo... Outlines! Not rules! ;)

Halloween trick or treat. Does that mean HALLOWEEN, and/or fall?
Any size :D (I love that part!)
Dead...Line... October 5th
Do you want one entry person, or is more than one okay?

Gee, I just bought some Halloween fabric today! HMMMM.

Let's stick with the Halloween theme and one entry per person.

So.. for this challenge...
You want a Halloween themed "trick or treat" bag?
Something that tricker treaters can use...right?
Any size? Any way? No quilting, or with quilting....piecing etc..???
I will get the gears rolling perhaps!
Thanks,
Kirsten

I can't wait to see what everyone makes!!!

I'll just watch I have way to much to do by Christmas and no time to do it.

Sounds like great idea... I have been in the Tote bag mood.
Let me see what I can find :lol: :wink:

I HAVE MY BAG DONE. WHERE DO I POST IT??
SAL

I LOVE it! Great job, Sal! :thumbup:

sal

Love your bag Sally :!:

One more day! please post your pictures by tomorrow. I am not making a bag since I'll be sending out the prize which is..........a Karen Stone pattern! Indian Orange Peel. To vote, send me a PM with the makers name in the subject and just the word "vote" in the body of the message. I took the cover page of the pattern out but my flash was not playing nice with the shiny paper. I hope this picture looks ok!

I thought that maybe we weren't doing it as only Sally posted one. I have my idea and will see if I can get it done.

OH MY, I LOVE THAT PATTERN, I SURE HOPE I WIN
SAL

AM I NOT SEEING THE OTHER BAGS. DO I NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER SITE. HAS NO ONE ELSE POSTED A BAG. I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WOULD BE A FUN THING TO DO.
SAL

Sal, since you are the only poster by the deadline, I'd say you are the winner! Your bag is absolutely adorable:) PM me your address so I can mail your prize.

Congratulations Sal.

DARN. I WAS HOPING TO SEE MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEND ME ANYTHING THAT IS ALRIGHT.
I JUST WISH WE HAD OTHERS POST
