~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: It is a project or partial project that you finish with stash. You might even complete the entire project with stash!
Q: Wait – what is this “stash” you speak of?
A: I am sure you have some. It is the fabric you bought but have not used yet. You just HAD to get it, but it has not found the perfect project yet. Or it is leftover from another project but the scraps are too big to just toss or send to a scrap pile.
Q: Do I have to take part?
A: Nope! This is an optional challenge folks like to take part in to push themselves to get their stash out of SABLE territory.
Q: Okay, now what’s SABLE?
A: Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy. You’ll know when you’re there.
Q: Can I take part in both this and the UFO Challenge?
A: Absolutely!
Q: Can the same project be entered into both this and the UFO Challenge?
A: No; it’s either one or the other.
Q: How do I do the Stashbusters Challenge?
A: Read on!
Step 1. When you complete your project, show it at the Guild Show and Tell.
Step 2. At the break after Show and Tell, go to the Guild Projects table. Ask for a Stashbustersform, and complete said form.
(Note: Steps 1 & 2 are interchangeable, depending on which is easiest for your work process, as long as both steps are completed.)
Step 3. Turn your Stashbusters Form in to Min (also conveniently found at the Guild Projects table).
Q: How long do I have to finish my Stashbuster project?
A: The Challenge ends at the August 2025 meeting so that prizes can be awarded at the September 2025 meeting.
Q: I already filled out my form, but now I found another Stashbuster. Can I still enter it in the Challenge?
A: Yes! Just come to the Guild Projects table and add it to your form.

Q: What is a UFO?
A: It’s an UnFinished Object - anything you’ve started and put
by the wayside while you started a new project, put into time-out when you got
frustrated by it, or (even worse!) hibernated when you forgot about it and got
busy with a bunch of other shiny new projects.
Q: Do I have to take part?
A: Nope! This is an optional challenge folks like to take part
in to push themselves to get their UFOs down to a more manageable number.
Q: Can I take part in both this and the Stashbusters Challenge?
A: Absolutely!
Q: How do I do the UFO Challenge?
A: Read on!
Step 1. Either print out the UFO Form here or pick one
up at the Guild Projects table at a guild meeting. Fill it out and turn it in
to Min (also conveniently found at the Guild Projects table). It is important to
put the date you started each UFO item on the form.
Step 2. When you complete your UFO, show it at the
Guild Show and Tell.
Step 3. At the break after Show and Tell, go to the
Guild Projects table. Ask for you UFO form, and mark your item as finished.
Q: How long do I have to finish my UFOs?
A: The Challenge ends at the August 2025 meeting so that prizes
can be awarded at the September 2025 meeting.
Q: I already filled out my form, but now I found
another UFO. Can I still enter it in the Challenge?
A: Yes! Just come to the Guild Projects table and add it to your
form.
