January Chookshed Challenge #6

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.

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?

Trivets

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!

365 Challenge Scrap Placemats

My first finished project of the year is two placemats made from the scraps of the 365 Challenge quilt.

I know that I should have taken the time to center that cable quilting, but it is a placemat, not an award winning masterpiece. Do we really care?

All of the scraps are sorted and put away.

The sewing machine is cleaned up.

The sewing studio is tidied up.

I feel pretty good about 2023!

Traffic Jam Two – It’s A Flimsy!

It hasn’t been all about the day job and Bluprint class binge watching!

I have managed to get the borders sewn on my second version of Pat Sloan’s pattern Traffic Jam.

It feels good to be using up these scraps!
