November already.

This year is rushing along. It seems only a few days ago that I was planning what I would work on during October and here we are in November.  I have so many things I want to try and finish before the end of the year so I really must get my act together. Where to start? Time to consider what I achieved last month. My Chookshed challenge for October was to work on my Afghan that I started in one of the covid lockdowns.

                                                 

  I wanted to make this 10 by 10 squares. I had a box of squares to use.

I enjoyed joining the squares together whilst watching TV. I haven't quite finished all the seams but I'm happy with the progress. This was planned as a baby blanket, however, I have been asked to make it slightly bigger.

I have really enjoyed taking part in the 10 months of the Chookshed  challenge. I am so pleased that it's going to continue next year.  Here's what I worked on over the year. My January challenge was a donation quilt.

In February I wanted to progress the Red Manor house quilt by completing the next round, which was applique. In the end I added two borders and Missy wouldn't move when I was trying to take a photo.

In March my challenge was to start the double wedding ring quilt. I needed a lot of practice with all the curves but I did manage to make a start .

For the April challenge I finished the cat embroidery.

The May challenge was to work on the next set of dinosaurs. This quilt has now been sandwiched and I will start quilting it soon.

The June challenge was to complete the sashiko embroidery. I enjoyed working on this piece.

Another month and another challenge. This time I worked on my Grandmother's garden quilt to add the red round. I had to make some more flowers before I could attach them to the quilt.

In August I completed the Indigo quilt.

September was embroidery on the tablecloth I was given at Christmas.

I'll need to think about the possible challenges for next year. 

Today has been a very tiring day. I tell you about our weekend away and our visit today in my next post.

Take care
