Days are flying by already and January magically turned into February before I knew it. Not to mention this extreme heat has taken my every ounce of energy ... bring on Autumn ... my favourite season.
Chookshed Challenge ~ January #2 ~ Basket Bag
I did open the kit, read through the instructions and even started cutting out but that's as far as I got. Now if January had 39 days I would have scraped in. With yesterday being FNWF, I finished the cutting out and started sewing. Determination got me through and this afternoon I finished hand stitching the binding for a FINISH! I had the bamboo handles and opted to use them instead of the fabric handles as per pattern ... to be honest I was struggling with the heavy bag wadding in narrow handles.
February #8 ~ A Merry Christmas Garden
February project is a Quilt top I finished in 2020 and my hope is to have it quilted and bound ready to gift for Christmas 2026. Chookshed Challenge 2026 List
Murder Mystery 2025 ~ Peru
Last patchwork day I took my almost finished rows, joined together and added the green and black borders. Since then I've cut the piano keys, joined into strips and added to finish off the top. Another to add to my pile of 'to be quilted'. All fabrics except for the blue background are from my stash.
Patchwork again this Monday and I'll be taking my other mystery quilt from Meadow Mist Designs ... time to start joining all the pieces.
Happy Saturday
