Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge

I need motivation to work on projects that have been in the sewing studio for quite some time.

So I am joining the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge

I have chosen and randomly numbered 10 sewing related projects. I think this will be a fun way to move things along (and maybe out)!

  1. Checkerboard Rails – in progress. I have to make more blocks for the size needed.

 2. 365 Challenge Quilt – the top is completed. I’d like to get it basted.

  3. Owl plushy kit – not started.

 4. Pajama bottoms – not started.

 5.Unicorn pillow covers – not started.

  6. Santa door draft kit -not started.

I don’t know where these kits came from!

  7. Garden Baskets quilt – a bajillion hand appliqued leaves has stopped me in my tracks.

 8. Notebook covers – not started.

 9. Table runner – do something for the fun of it!

 10. Fall Moon embroidery – didn’t like the way the stitching looked, so put this project out of sight.

Have fun and carry on!

Christmas Lone Star

It is finished!

What a great feeling to have this old UFO completed and out of the sewing room!

For those who are curious, the quilt is about 68″ square.

It is difficult to photograph the quilting and the texture, but I tried.

More of that texture will be seen when I have washed the quilt.

Quilt On!

Christmas in July Challenge

Kathy, at Sewing, Etc., issued a Christmas in July challenge. You can read about it here and here.

There are no rules. The point is to encourage one another while moving our projects forward. There is no pressure to finish a project, no deadlines to make. Simply move a project forward.

I decided to move my Lone Star project forward.

I last worked on this quilt in January. I had completed quilting in the ditch.

My plan to move my project forward is to free motion quilt the star points this month.

That’s it.

No pressure.

Just moving forward.

How about you? What project would you like to move forward? Need some encouragement?

Quilt on!
