FAQ’s
Can I submit edited blocks? Yes!!! This has been the biggest request for Summer and Winter Camp. This is presently in the trial phase, so please be patient as we work out the kinks.
What is the difference between Camps and Recreate Creatively? There will be changes coming to the Camps, and will be only for new sewers and quilters (those who have never participated with a Fiona Sandwich Camp). We discovered that seasoned Campers wanted more creative expression and new Campers were daunted by some of the prompts that are exciting to seasoned campers.
Are these prompts beginner friendly? They are not hard or impossible, but they are designed to help you grow your creativity, and spur memories from your travels. If you have participated in a Summer or Winter Camp, you are ready for Recreate Creatively!
How long do I have to complete the prompts? All blocks must be sewn between May 29 and Sept 4. You have until the second day of the following month to submit photos for prizes. I understand that it would be nice to get the prompts in advance to be able to think about them, however some people sew before the challenge starts. While it’s not ideal, it makes the challenge fair for all.
Where do I find the prompts? There is a Field Guide in your downloads, inside your Fiona Sandwich account. To differentiate between patterns and prompts, the prompts are in the file with the month + Field Guide (example: October 2022 Recreate Creatively Field Guide).
If you are not able to finish the prompts, just like the patterns, the Field Guides won’t disappear. They will be in your account forever and ever. If you have troubles accessing your account or have questions, please reach out.
Do I have to use specific patterns? You may use any Fiona Sandwich illustrated pattern from the State Parks, National Parks and Condiment patterns. Patterns that are not permitted: non Fiona Sandwich patterns, Road Trip, Park Signs, or Park Stamper Pin patterns.
Are patterns included with the Monthly Sewing Adventures? The Monthly Sewing Adventures does not have any patterns included. A great way to build your pattern collection quickly is through the Monthly Pattern Club.
