Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – April Update

For the Chookshed Stitchers challenge in April, the number 9 was drawn. My number 9 is to make a table runner.

You can see my project list here.

I decided to make a table runner using the Golden Peaks block. Julie Cefalu, of The Crafty Quilter, shared a great tutorial of this block.

The block is versatile and fun to play with.

I like every layout that I tried, but I did finally choose one.

The blocks are sewn together, and pinned into a quilt sandwich waiting for quilting.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – March Update

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

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.

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

Pajamas

I thought that I had enough fabric for full length pajama bottoms, but I ended up with a mid-calf length. That is fine with me, since that is the length that I wear the most often.

These are soft and comfy, and I am really pleased with them!

When the weather was sunny, but not too hot, I spent time outdoors raking, cleaning up woodpiles and other yard chores.

On the cool and wet days, I enjoyed bread baking and genealogy.

The Hubster and I also took a trip to visit with our son and his fam…so much fun! I got plenty of lovins to fill my cup!

The downside of the month is that my sewjo mojo got up and went. I don’t know where, but I hope to see her back soon! Possibly she left due to a toothache. That problem will be remedied this afternoon when I visit the dentist. The offending tooth is soon to be removed! I am so looking forward to this!

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.

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.

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!

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.
