As I've been away a lot this year, I'm out of whack with my blog posts, so this is a catch-up post for the Chookshed Challenge.
So here is how my list looked 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
July's challenge was no. 9 - which I've done. A simple backstitch while travelling in the USA. It is yet to be made into anything. That will come. This pattern was from a stitchery of the month I participated in many years ago from Grandmother's Garden in NZ. I had good intentions back then but soon realised that I couldn't keep up the momentum. That was in the days when I was working full-time.
August's random number draw brought up no. 7 - sadly I've done nothing with this planned quilt other than gather the fabrics together. Another one for next year's Chookshed Challenge.
September's random number was no. 3 - which I've completed while travelling. Just a quick cross stitch kit that I had in the sewing room. It was from a cross stitch magazine from 30 years ago! Better done than sitting there. I've yet to put into the included card; that will happen and I can give it away as a gift. (I personally don't need any more bookmarks - I have a shoebox full of gorgeous ones.)
So the challenge number left for October is no. 1 - which I've done! Yay me. I did actually finish this top back in March - see more info here. But I added it to my challenge list because I could! And making it into a finished quilt can be on my list of goals for 2026.
So here's my challenge list at the end of November.

So the Chookshed Challenge year has gone fairly well, considering I was away for over 19 weeks of the year. I did make it easy for myself though with small projects, and even including several quilts that I had almost completed. I found that challenging myself like this worked well, and I'm looking forward to next year. Just to figure out what to include in the list.
