Last day of February

 Toady is the last day for the Chookshed Stitchers challenge for this month

I am very happy, I have bound and labelled the last quilt, a donated top, quilted by Joan

I was given a bag with 3 completed braid strips and the cut fabric pieces, so I have completed the top, just this afternoon. This will be completed at some stage and go to Oncology.

These are the left over fabric bits, maybe I can sew them together and they can go on the back.

Deana has a link up on her page where we can see what the other Stitchers have finished/done for the month. Wonder which number we will get for March??

Happy stitching.

Half way mark

 I am a little late here, Deana, has a mid month check in for the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge - I can't believe it is the middle of the month already! I have been working on Oncology quilts and have a few finishes

The two top quilts above were given to me as tops to finish for Oncology, Joan quilted them for me and I have done the binding and labelling. Another quilt is awaiting its binding. The stripped quilt I have made and quilted.

I was given this part made French Braid quilt with some fabric, so I have made a start to make more braids so I can make a quilt top. Hopefully I will get more done this month.

There is a linky at Deana's where you can check what the other Stitchers are doing.

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.
