Catching up

 My efforts at the Chookshed Stitcher's Challenge have fallen by the wayside this last month

I didn't find time to do July's challenge

so it has returned to the shelf, maybe I will get time later in the year??  After doing the Kathy Doughty class I am a little more confident to tackle this one.

This month the challenge is #7 and that means

trying to get the Daylesford quilt finished.....I have fabric for the backing on the back of the couch, that is a start isn't it??

I am off to do some more on the quilt top from the Kathy Doughty class, or I might go back and read some more  😀  I have a good book!

Happy stitching.

Chookshed Stitchers Challenge 2025

 

I have made my list but not numbered the items yet as somethings have to be done to a deadline, or maybe I will number them and change when the new month comes around. 😕

#6.School banner

This looks like a mess but actually says 150 - I have done the 1 and the 5 just the 0 to be done and then the school  logo to be appliqued and dates to be added. I cut out 400 two and a half inch squares to be signed by pupils and teachers and past pupils who came to the 150th celebrations. This needs to be done when school goes back at the end of the month. This is for the local Primary School, I somehow got volunteered to do this, the rest of the local patchwork group was to help, but it is just me. To be honest only one can sew at a time, so we will see how I go.

#1 Wattle brush - Australian Floral Mandela

I have had this kit for quite a while, so it is now time to get it made, plus the designer is coming to talk to us at the Guild.....do I need any more motivation!!

#2 Sashiko Stitchery Panel

This has been on the shelf for a while too.

#3 Quilts for Guild (2)

Two quilts I was given to quilt from the Guild.

#4 Part made quilt from Carleen

this part made quilt was taken to an op shop Carleen works in, she has passed it on to me to finish.

#5 I Spy Quilt

I was given these pre cut squares and the pieces that made the border, now to make a backing and quilt.

#7 Back and quilt Daylesford Quilt

this photo has decided to reverse itself but you still get the idea.

#8 Border and put together Guild quilts

I was given these to put together at the last Guild meeting, the Minion one is done, needs borders, the other one is not started yet.

#9 Make Sloth quilt

I was given this a while ago and need to get it made.

#10 is a secret challenge that I can't show at present, but needs to be worked on.

Blocks for this and that

Last weeks Anthology block, called Confused Geese (very apt I though while trying to make this!)

Sylvia's Bridal Sampler block mark 2, Yankee Puzzle, I didn't read the instructions properly and was making this in a rush, always a recipe for disaster, my first block came out at 7 inches. This one is around about the right size!

I made these blocks for the current Aussie hero quilt, looked up the size on the internet and they came out half an inch too small, then I remembered I had made them last week....oh dear!!! They have gone into the orphan blocks box.

The poppy blocks came out the right size as they are foundation paper pieced.

Some happy mail has arrive at my house, it was my birthday last week and I was given wonderful presents and flowers and this sloth wall quilt from Ingrid, isn't it cute!!

And Jill very kindly gifted me this wall quilt, Jill was learning foundation paper piecing and these are the blocks she made. So pretty.

Today I have made simple blocks to go in between the poppy blocks for the top and bottom of the Aussie Hero quilt. Here we are part way through. They are finished and added to the quilt now, I am off to sort out some backing.

Happy stitching.
