Open to all - use the sunflower design in a project. Try to "think outside the box" and be really creative. Then post a picture in projects. Put "Sunflower Challenge" in the title so we all spot it.

If we all vote for the design it will become a freebie so everyone can have a go. Let your imaginations run riot!

28 projects in now - but slowing down. That might be all, unless you want to prove me wrong!

I have certainly enjoyed viewing all the projects and hope to see many more. (I need all the ideas I can get LOL!!!)

Well you may laugh, but I am envious of those who can think up projects to make from the designs.... this is not my area, I have no imagination for projects as all my sewing has been in garments or items of necessity so I thank you all for sharing your ideas, they are all inspiring.
Hugs and roses to all, Meganne

The design is free again - so lets see lots more projects over the weekend. Remember it isn't a competition! The challenge is to find a different way to use the same design. Nine projects in so far - and counting!

Thanks. Now my challenge begins. I said I would 'think outside of the box' - and I'm thinking!! Also I will have to learn how to upload a photo. I usually lurk in the background but have taken one tiny step foreward!

Good luck everyone and enjoy being creative. Thanks Sue for the idea.
