May flew by too fast! I spent very little time in the sewing studio, but I did make some progress with my Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge.
Number 5 was drawn, and my number 5 is to make unicorn pillows. My project list is posted here.
However, I decided not to make the pillows, but to make the pattern as is, and I shared the start of that in the May post here.
I have traced the pattern and cut out fusible templates.
I know that it is difficult to see the tracing, but once I start adding the fabric, you can definitely see the progress.
This is as far as I have gotten.
In this post, Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – April Update, I shared my projects progress from January to April.
I had so much fun making jelly from lilac blossoms, that I decided to try some other new-to-me jellies.
Pictured below are Peony Jelly and Acai Berry Tea Jelly. Some of these jellies will be going into the gift box. Yum!
I am linking up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts for the May updates.
Have fun and carry on!

Acai jelly sounds wonderful – perhaps you’ll be trying out a lavender version, too?

It just so happens that I have some leftover dried lavender buds, Laura. I am thinking about combining them with Earl Grey tea and maybe even some vanilla for a jelly. 🙂

It has been fun, too, Sharon! The Hubster and I also spent an entire day with 92 year old Mom visiting an Aunt (she was in the hospital) and various cemeteries and gravesites. Not something I would blog about, but I know you would understand (being interested in genealogy). We had a great outing! 🙂

Sounds like the perfect afternoon, visiting and cemeteries 🙂 Yes I totally get it 🙂

Laura, I am pretty behind in updating the Chookshed accomplishments post and reading blogs. I guess I have been off playing too much. I did add your pillow progress to the list. Great job!
I have enjoyed getting to know you as part of the group and appreciate your correspondence. Keep up the good work and happy posts!
