I joined the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge, and the number of the month is 6, which, in my case was a Santa Door Draft kit that came from who knows where.
I gave my midmonth progress report where I shared what a miserable time I was having making this thing. I also shared that I was determined to finish.
And so I have.
*Clicking on any of the photos will show a larger view.
I am overjoyed to check this off the to-do list!
The door draft stopper has already been gifted! I am happy to report that Santa has a new home where he will be appreciated!
Here he is, showing off his little known specialty, the splits!
What’s on the design wall?
Some of you will recognize the blocks on the left…they are from the Checkerboard Rails project. Maybe it will be next month’s project?
While I am waiting to see what the next challenge number will be, I have been busting my 1.5″ scrap strips and sewing them into blocks.
I have a plan. You will see.
I am linking up with other challenge participants at Dreamworthy Quilts.
Have fun and carry on!

Clever old Santa, able to do the splits at his age! I’m surprised you could part with him.

That Santa turned out really cute and I am glad you found him a home. I am loving your blue log cabin blocks. They have a real under the sea vibe!

Thank you, Sharon! I don’t think these scrappy blocks are using as much of my strips as I thought they would. LOL! 🙂
