I’m still away travelling so updates on my blog are a bit limited sadly.
However, I can say that I have completed June’s challenge (to myself) of #5 in my list. See R’s quilt at https://patchmaggie.blogspot.com/2025/03/march-is-complete.html
I’m not thrilled with the border on this quilt but it is done!
So here is how my list looks at the end of June
- complete strip sets for blue strip twist quilt
quilt and bind A's quilt (March)- second backstitch embroidery kit (for while I'm travelling)
quilt and bind S's quiltquilt and bind R's quiltcontinue flower blocks for J's quatro quilt (January)- complete bunny Fat Quarter Mixer quilt top
Start on Amelie’s quilt- backstitch embroidery kit (for while I'm travelling)
quilt and bind Mason’s quilt
Deana has drawn the challenge number for July and it is #9. Which is handy as my #9 is a backstitch embroidery kit - while travelling. I brought three backstitch embroideries with me and two have been completed, so I’m happy. (Completed means that all the sewing has been done. Of course there is still the washing and pressing, and then inclusion into a frame or something else to be done when I get home.). I have so many small kits/patterns bought/acquired over the years, it is about time I was doing something with them.
The third embroidery I brought with me isn’t started yet and is the biggest, but I have more travel to do this year, so it will get done.
So July’s challenge is completed and it is only the 2nd of the month! How’s that for commitment? 🤣
I’ll report back officially at the end of the month.
Check out some of these other participants in the Chookshed Challenge.
Chookshed Challege 2025 - Deana from Dreamworthy Quilts is one member of the Chookshed Quilters. Each month in 2025, Deana will select a number from one to ten and quilters work on the project with the corresponding number from their own list. The main rule for this challenge is that there are no rules, which should work for me as I am away for large chunks of 2025. For example, if the number six is chosen, and that particular month is a bit tricky to work on that numbered project from my list, I can change the project! And a goal could be just making minimal progress on a particular quilt. I like those sorts of rules.
