Zoom & A Challenge

 Chooky invited us to a Zoom on Wednesday & whilst stitching these

the satin stich on this one above
and starting number 6 finally of the Christmas Club we were issued a challenge by Deana

We are to choose 10 sewing related item or goals to work on during 2024. Pop over to Deana's blog to find out all the details if you would like to join in. We even have a logo to post to your sidebar.



I think my goals this year will be to move along WIP's & UFO's.

Number 1: Presidents wreath. This applique quilt is probably 20 years old. The blocks are done but the borders are just sitting there. All the applique is prepped ready to go.

Number 2: School Girl Sampler. I was keeping up with this when started about 3-4 years back but we moved house & it fell by the wayside. It need more blocks, the centre applique & the flying geese border pieces made.

Number 3: EPP i have about 5 to choose from with very little left to finish them off. Or maybe i'll work on Lucy blocks. Or even start a new EPP project. lol

Number 4:Swap blocks from an Instagram swap about 6 or 7 years back.

Number 5: Purple tablecloth. needs embroidery & applique finished. It's over 20 years old.

Number 6: Sunbonnet Sue. Decide what to do with the 6 blocks.

Number 7: make the last 12 blocks for 2023 RSC & then make the blocks into quilts.

Number 8: 1 of the many kits i have hanging around.

Number 9: make the crazy patch blocks into a runner. I did this as a swap with Canadian & American friends about 10 years ago(roughly).

Number 10: hand quilt Karma quilt. Small EPP quilt i made about 2 years back.

Happy Stitching,

Great to see you in Zoom. You were far more productive than I was. Cute stitcheries. That's a pretty good list you have there. If this challenge moves along some really old projects it will have been very successful.

Those stitcheries are looking lovely Jeanette. That is a good challenge ... sometimes at night when I can't sleep I think about all my UFO's & my head just spins!!! I need to work on reducing them this year too.xx

It was good to see you on zoom. Your stitching always looks so good. I hope you sorted out the faded lines and continued to stitch beautifully.
Have fun with the challenge.

I like "one of the many kits I have hanging around". That is a nice, safe goal that you will have choices once that number comes up!

Excited to have you join up!
