Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – May Update

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 – May 

I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and perhaps even finish a few. It has been fun and I’ve even accomplished a few things!

Last January, 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.

The number 5 was drawn for May. My number 5 is to make Unicorn pillows. You can see my project list here.

I believe I purchased this pattern many moons ago while out shopping somewhere with my daughter.

I did a quick Google check, and The Magical Unicorn Quilt pattern is still available from a variety of places.

I am sure that I had grand plans of making the quilt, but that has long ago gone by the wayside.

However, in looking over the pattern this week, I see it has at least 111 pieces to it!

Whoa!

I am not making pillows, unless I simplify and reduce the size of the pattern (actually doable but will require some effort).

It does contain five sizes, so I am still going to make this unicorn, but in the smallest wall hanging size.

I have begun tracing pieces onto a fusible web (Steam-A-Seam).

That may be as far as I get this month, but that is moving forward!

Who doesn’t need unicorns and rainbows in their life?
