Since I've just posted all of these photos in the last few days I won't post them all again. I really really enjoyed this challenge. She just announced the challenges for July and guess what there are 3 different ones to join in on!!!! I can't wait. A new acrostic and two month long fill in calendar challenges. It's a very relaxing kind group. So far I love the challenges and they aren't stressful like some of the others I've seen. Just fun to try to plug in what I've already worked on or want to work on. They said that's the point. Have fun. No stress.
I think I will try to plan ahead more for the acrostic next month. I was worried since the randomness of my marathon I had planned so I waited and plugged them in after for this time around. I'm already thinking of some to fit in next time though. It's a great push to get out some different pieces.
I've noticed several others that I read their blogs are joining in the group too. I look forward to seeing what we all come up with. It's fun and that's what matters!!

Sounds like a fun challenge, kind of like the Harry Potter and Hobbit ones that encourage you to stitch on different items based on loose requirements. Have fun figuring out July.
What a great challenge! I don't think I could do the 24 hours of stitching one though....I need my sleep!
I've joined the group too! I love the idea of 24 hours of stitching but I do not love the idea of the small boy bouncing around for 24 hours as he can't sleep without me!
I managed the June acrostic because of the marathon too. July will be harder but I adore the daily celebration challenge. I will have to see what I can do for that!
Sounds like a fun challenge! 24 hours would be a no go for me but the month long SAL sounds perfect. Looks like you had a great plan.
Do they use the same word, Twenty Four, each month?
I love this idea (well, not the 24 hour part!) as much as I love following the HP and LOTR homework clubs.
Sometimes I wish my own stitching plans weren't quite so strict as, given the fun and stress-free nature of this SAL, is one I might consider joining. But, alas, my mind is not wired to simply chop and change at random (it might be one day!)
In the meantime I'll simply enjoy watching everyone try to shoe-horn in their own WIPs; sounds like anything goes! :)
This is perfect for you! I don't think I'm that organized, both in stitching AND my life right now!
