“Accomplish”
A 25-year old young woman who has had to overcome her birth family situation. Who was picked up by Child Protective Services out of a meth lab at the age of 5, rejected by family members, placed in foster care and struggled to accept the love and direction of her adoptive family. And finally graduates from auto mechanics school as a single mom with a 5-year old daughter. The mountain depicts the climbs and building up, while the stones depict what has weighed her down.
Cynthia Blair
The Accomplishment Challenge motivated me to finally tackle two ideas I’d been thinking about for a long time: (1) Painting fabric to use in making a pieced “wearable art” garment and (2) Making something that used turquoise and red, a color combination I’ve never used before. I managed to “accomplish” both!

Janet Darcher
Crazy in the Garden #2 is my second
crazy quilt and it comes from my love
of my garden. It was started5 years ago and I have worked on it
off and on. Each square either uses
something I produced by hand
or “bits and pieces” given to me over
the years my family and friends. When
the first prompt for SMQGInspiration and Creativity group was
Accomplish, I thought what better
time to finally finish #2.
