Happy September everyone! I can hardly believe that two-thirds of 2013 is already over! I have to say that I’m pretty excited for school to start on Tuesday though – no worries…there will be lots of ‘First Day’ pictures of my girls that I’ll happily share with you all! Due to everyone having a crazy September I’m extending this particular off season challenge on through the end of October!

Let’s get to the September Off Season Project QUITLING Challenge! I was having a hard time coming up with an idea when I decided I should just stick to what’s been on my mind…so this month’s challenge is…
The Challenge: An Apple A Day…
I figured I might as well do the challenge on what’s on my mind – apple season! Our orchard is open for the season and I have apples on my mind – so you all get to be inspired by the phrase “An Apple A Day…”
Feel free to do with it whatever you wish! The ‘…’ could be very important in what you decide to create.
THE RULES:
(Please read (or reread) Rule 5…it’s really important!!!!)
- Have FUN! These off season challenges aren’t about winning a prize – they’re about being inspired to create something you may never have created without the inspiration.
- Please remember that these projects need to be created during the time frame of the challenge to qualify for the challenge.
- Project can be a quilt, a garment, a bag, or any other item that is created using patchwork, appliqué or other traditional quilting techniques.
- If you need advice/tips/help (or you just want to give us all a sneak peak) with your project as you work on it feel free to post pictures to the flickr group: Project QUILTING WIP:http://www.flickr.com/groups/1430386@N24/
- POST your entries with a description of your creative process, including where you are (ie, I create in Madison, WI) and the size of your project by the end of the day Monday, September 30th, 2013 , Thursday, October 31st, 2013 to this flickr group –http://www.flickr.com/groups/1401824@N21/ OR email a picture/description of your completed project to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line and I’ll post your piece for you. (1 month to finish the challenge)
So I figured out why I wasn't getting my "Kim" emails. Apparently I set up a rule to have them all go to a folder called Stuff. For so long I thought that folder was "odds and ends" emails. One day I checked it, UH-OH! Folder renamed. Let's see if I can get back in the game :-). Slowly but surely…
So glad you figured it out! Welcome back!
