The Prayer Flag Project is open to everyone, and you can make a flag and it will get posted on the blog.  The instructions are very easy to follow.  http://ThePrayerFlagProject.blogspot.com/
Dinner at Eight Artists; Leslie Tucker Jenison and me are co-curators and jury an invitational show each year that debuts at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, CA at the end of July.  This year, 42 artists have interpreted the theme 'Rituals' and all of the quilts measure 24"wide by 48" high, vertical format.  We feature a different artist everyday (M-F) from the exhibit, so bookmark this site http://DinneratEightArtists.blogspot.com/ 
The Sketchbook Challenge is an on-line challenge that is open to everyone.  There are 14 artists who interpret a new theme each month on the blog.  Everyone can follow along, and create their own work of art and post it on the Flickr site.  Prizes are given in a random drawing.  Check it out!  The blog is http://sketchbookchallenge.blogspot.com/
The House Quilt Project is open to anyone who would like to make a patriotic house quilt (12w x 16h) that benefit The Wounded Warrior Battalion in Southern California.  Other projects that we have provided house quilts for are Veterans First, and Habitat for Humanity  All of the instructions are on the blog.  http://TheHouseQuiltProject.blogspot.com/
