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.
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
Lyndsey
