Challenges and Progress


Happy Birthday to all the Horses out there  ... August 1st in Australia is the official birth date for our horses. This young lady is officially 5 today.

Now for the Chookshed Challenge.  My project for July was to quilt and bind a wedding quilt .... welllll ... the quilt was dropped off to the quilters on Monday so I'm claiming that as a win ... (I know... it's a stretch but it's better than still sitting in my cupboard)


August #3 -  to finish off my Happy Houses Wall Hanger.  These were from a swap way back in 2011 and I know if Chooky looks closely she may just recognise a house or 2.  Now I said join and quilt so I'll see how far I can get ... 


My 2024 Temperature Quilt has another row completed, Row 5 which took me to July 20 and a couple of below 0 temps ... brrrrr!


I still have some wool left over from the Round Knitted Rug and Zig Zag Rugs so now I'm working on Granny Squares to use up the remainder ... I did purchase the white.


There is another Scrappy Quilt in progress that I work on at our Patchwork Days so that's about it for me. Keeping busy on the farm, visiting grandies and crafting whenever xx

  2. I'll look forward to seeing a happy village taking shape and a bound quilt then. LOL Have fun what ever you do. My #3 is quilting too, but I have to do it myself.

    The Houses wall hanging will be fun to complete.

  4. Taking your quilt to get finished is definitely a win, and then you can complete it with the binding.

  6. I kind of count mine as done once they go to the quilter as well. I usually bind them right away when they return. Good job on your goal!

  7. The house blocks are so darn cute, and I am loving your temperature quilt. I would like to do one of those some day.
