Last day of January

                                    

This challenge for January has been completed

I have made the blocks for the Guild Mystery Challenge

A few more to be trimmed

I have finished the Bellarine Quilters Modern Triangles challenge, fewer blocks than the pattern wanted but I wanted it finished! 

The quilt has gone to Joan to be quilted.

The Aussie Hero quilt top is finished, I have just sandwiched it out  the back deck, which was a bit hot

Next time I need to drag the table into the shade.

I had a walk with Beth and Finn yesterday, we had a play on the swing on the way back

It was a beautiful day to be out and about

I am happy to have had a productive month and am looking forward to seeing which number Deana pulls from the hat for February. 

Happy stitching.

A Finish

This morning I have finished #6 on the Scrub Stitchin' 2024 Challenge, it is a Friendship Drawstring Bag designed by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched.

Mine is slightly different from the pattern but I am very happy with it. Pretty!

Now on with the Guild Mystery Quilt.

Happy stitching.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge

 

I joined in a zoom yesterday organised by  Chooky, and decided to join in this challenge organised by Chooky and Deana, each month Deana is going to choose a number between 1 and 10 and that is the project we work on for that month. 

My list will be

1. Guild mystery Quilt, as I need to catch up on Month 1 and 2. I am behind already!!

I might have to work on this a little each month to keep up.

2. Oncology quilts - I have been given several unfinished quilts, they need to be finished and quilted and bound before they can be delivered, so this is a time to get one/some done.

this heap on the bed will be 6 quilts once I get them done.

3. is EPP month, several other people are making EPP this month, I am wanting to do more on the Tea and Cake quilt, maybe even head towards a finish - maybe that is too ambitious, but worth a try!

this poor top has been scrunched in a bag for months and not seen the light of day.

4. Is a panel quilt, several people have chosen to do something with a panel for this one, mine is a panel of Flinders Street Station I have had for ages and ages!! Will be good to get it done.

5. This will be some slow stitching for me, a kit I have had for 3 years I think, bought at the Guild exhibition or Quilt In

If I get this done then I will do some stitching on Anthology as well. I need to make some filler blocks and do the sashing.

6. This is the time to make last years Scrub Stitching bag

7. I am hoping to finish the Daylesford quilt I started months ago

I am a bit concerned this one will not sit flat so will have to press it and see how it goes before adding more borders.

8. Another time to work on the Oncology quilts.

9. Make up the Winding Ways quilt - it will be good to make it up instead of putting it on a shelf and thinking one day I will do that!

10. Make Finns Christmas stocking - it didn't happen this year

I realise the numbers will be random and my putting the Guild challenge at the top of the list doesn't mean I get to work on it in Jan, but maybe I can fit it in somewhere along the way.

I haven't' done anything like this before so will be interesting to see how this all goes.

We are off to the beach for a swim now

Happy New Year and very happy stitching.
