Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – April

I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and perhaps even finish a few. So far, so good!

Participants publicly posted a list of 10 numbered projects. Each month a number is drawn, and the corresponding project is worked on. There are linkups where projects can be posted and participants can cheer one another on.

In March, number 4 was drawn. My number 4 was to sew pajama bottoms, and you can see that I did that by clicking here for my post that shows that I completed this project.

For April, the number 9 was drawn. My number 9 is to make a table runner. You can see my project list here.

I am thinking about making the Golden Peaks block into a table runner. Julie Cefalu, of The Crafty Quilter, shared a great tutorial of this block, and it looks like fun to play with.

Besides yard work, and other life distractions, I have been working on the 365 Monster.

Just so ya know.

Progress is slow going, but still progress.

Who knows? Maybe I can get this thing finished this month!

Maybe.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – March

I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and perhaps even finish a few. So far, this has been fun and very doable.

Participants publicly posted a list of 10 numbered projects. Each month a number is drawn, and the corresponding project is worked on. There are linkups where projects can be posted and participants can cheer one another on.

In January, number 6 was drawn. My number 6 was a Santa project, and you can see that post by clicking here.

In February, number 2 was drawn. I moved my 365 Monster quilt forward in progress, and that felt good. You can see that post by clicking here.

This month, March, the number 4 was drawn. You can see my full list of projects by clicking here, but my number 4 is to sew pajama bottoms.

I have had this fabric for maybe 2 years, maybe longer. Time to sew it up!

Pajamas

I don’t know how much of each piece of yardage that I have, but it will be enough for two pairs of pajama bottoms. I don’t bother making the tops since I prefer a plain t-shirt and they can be inexpensive to buy.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge February

#2 was chosen for the February challenge.

My #2 is the 365 Challenge quilt. Ready or not, time to move it forward!

365 Challenge

This flimsy is about 100″ sq. and has been marinating in the closet since December 2022.

The plan for this month is to get it basted.

I have no idea how I am going to quilt it. I am considering an all over design since there are so many seams. I don’t think that I want to custom quilt it.

I will be thinking about that while I am basting the quilt sandwich.

Meantime, if you’d like to know more about this project, then click here.
