Myself and two other lucky Swap-botters got to participate in the and we were each sent a package which contained black felt, burlap, safety pins, and black sequins. Each Challenge participant received the same materials and we were each to make any project we could dream up as long as we used at least some of each Challenge item. Check out what I made!
