This Month’s Active Challenge

Challenge is now live. Explore the theme, join the kickoff, and participate at your own pace.

OCTOBER Challenge

SPOOKY OR AUTUMN CRAFTS

For this month’s CutterPillar Challenge, we’re celebrating Spooky Crafts! Think Halloween, ghosts, pumpkins, bats, black cats, candy corn, witches, and all the fun things that make October so much fun.

If Halloween isn’t your thing, feel free to take your inspiration from the season instead. Think fall leaves, pumpkins, cozy plaids, autumn colors, acorns, harvest themes, or anything that makes you think of crisp fall days. We’re all about creativity, so choose the theme that makes you want to pull out your fabric and start stitching!
