I fell behind in the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge, but I am moving projects forward from my challenge list.
I am happy to share that June’s project, #10, really is finished! I found a frame that I like so here ya go:
In July, the #1 was drawn, and my #1 is my Checkerboard Rails project. The design is from Bonnie Hunter. I wanted to use up some of my hand-dyes and I am loving how this is turning out!
This baby is now a flimsy!
#3 was drawn in August. This plush owl kit from Connecting Threads has been taking up space in the sewing studio for who knows how long.
I have all three owls cut out and partly sewn, so this project is on the move!
September’s number is #7. My #7 is the Garden Baskets project. I used my hand-dyes for this project as well.
(There are links at the end of this post that share my progress up to this point.)
I got bored with this, and it has really slowed me down. I must’ve been delirious when I decided that I would hand stitch a couple of hundred leaves in the borders.
Putting Garden Baskets on my challenge list was a great idea, since I am moving this forward!
As you can see from the photos, I have finished one border and am making good progress on a second one.

October Chookshed Challenge #8 (last number and not called yet)
October’s project is notebook covers. It is the last of this year’s Chookshed Stitchers Challenge 2024. I am taking a trip to see family shortly, and may not get to this last number from the challenge list. At least not in October.
If the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge link shows up before I go on vacation, then I will link up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts. You might like to check it out!
Have fun and carry on!
