Right then chaps, here is your challenge!

The aim is to showcase the fabulous designs available here and, if possible to get people to think "out of the box". So:
1. Choose any of the Cute September designs currently offered to celebrate the website's eighth birthday.
2. Stitch it out! Try to add your own stamp of originality.
3. Post a picture in "Projects". Please put September challenge as part of your blurb.
Off you go.
Any Questions?

Sorry Sue, I missed out on this as I couldn't remember what designs were September's, not sure I even collected any of them. DOH!!!
I'll pay more attention next time.
Have given flowers to all the great entries, well done Cuties.
Hugs n roses,

And another great one from marianb. There wasn't ever a strict time limit, but it would be time to see a few more even though October has arrived!

Finally, one from me. I wasn't feeling very flowery, so the inspiration came when the little birds popped up!

What a nice idea! I have a questions though...What do you mean by "Cute September Designs"? Do they have to be the ones that came out in September?

They are the designs which are given away free this month to celebrate the website's birthday. There is a new one every day. (Look at the banner above the bar with Designs Community and Projects buttons.)

When do they have to be completed by the end of the month and posted the 1st of Oct? I wasn't here for any of the previous challenges. I'm thinking on it....just haven't a clue yet. :-)

No particular time limit, nut it would be good to aim for 1st October. We had several challenges through 2011 which seems a very long time ago! (See link.)

When you come "back" does it always have to mean chores? Just kidding. Glad to see your moniker.

Sue, I realised there are quite a number of people who can only do 4x4" designs and these are all larger appliqués. Dispensation to use other designs from this site?

spendlove by spendlove 12 Sep 2014

Good thinking - perhaps some of the designs to come will be smaller. Otherwise a dispensation would be in order.

Leaha by Leaha 12 Sep 2014

Thanks for thinking of this and informing us of it also. **** 4 u 2

Haha-it's been 2 1/2 hours, and I'm sure there are some members that already have something made, they are so good! Me, a bit longer.
