Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – July

Posted on July 4, 2024 | 15 comments

This year seems to be flying by so fast! We are already into July!

My Chookshed Stitchers challenge for July is Number 1 on the list. You can see my project list in this post.

Number 1 for me is my Checkerboard Rails project.

This project was begun in September, 2023, and I wrote about this project here and here.

I left off needing more blocks (because naturally, I miscounted), and setting the blocks together.

Hopefully, this can come together as a flimsy and get a backing for it this month!

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – May Update

Posted on June 1, 2024 | 15 comments

May flew by too fast! I spent very little time in the sewing studio, but I did make some progress with my Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge.

Number 5 was drawn, and my number 5 is to make unicorn pillows. My project list is posted here.

However, I decided not to make the pillows, but to make the pattern as is, and I shared the start of that in the May post here.

I have traced the pattern and cut out fusible templates.

I know that it is difficult to see the tracing, but once I start adding the fabric, you can definitely see the progress.

This is as far as I have gotten.

In this post, Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – April Update, I shared my projects progress from January to April.

I had so much fun making jelly from lilac blossoms, that I decided to try some other new-to-me jellies.

Pictured below are Peony Jelly and Acai Berry Tea Jelly. Some of these jellies will be going into the gift box. Yum!

I am linking up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts for the May updates.

Have fun and carry on!

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – April

Posted on April 3, 2024 | 10 comments

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.
