Chookshed Stitcher's Challenge #5 update
Monday saw the borders going on my project for the challenge & that was some fun & games. :) Then i glue basted it & left it overnight to dry. Tuesday i was all set for a day of quilting & binding. By night time i was done.:) After that i could make a start on sewing this months RSC. :) Hopefully they'll be done by Friday.
My project went from this
to thisFreshly washed. I had to soak it because despite being packed away it had marks on it. I tipped the water out this morning after soaking overnight & imagine my horror when i saw the water was purplish. I hoped like crazy that i hadn't exchanged dirty marks for purple marks. It looks like a stain along the top but it isn't, it's just what is hanging behind on the clothesline.

Nine patch Sunday.
I let myself get waaaayyy behind with the nine patches & kicked myself for doing so. I had 60 blocks to make so yesterday i got stuck into them.

FNSI May
The day started early for FNSI with me pulling out red, purple, pink & green fabrics to make cracker box blocks.
During a break i was reading blogs & Fiona posted about making bowl cosies. A good reminder that i'd been wanting to make some. Well 1 at least. :)
It won't win any prizes that's for sure. My machine did not like top stitching through all that thickness. Next time i'll follow the suggestion of making the wadding a wee bit smaller than the fabric. That suggestion should've been written at the top of the instructions not added in way at the bottom. :~Saturday, May 11, 2024

FNwF May.
Last night was FNwF hosted by lovely Cheryll.
Thursday night i dragged out the box containing the Lucy blocks & started piecing one together. Here is where i was at
& by bed timeI really need to sew faster. :) Though to be honest it's been quite a while since i had Lucy out. I now have 21 blocks & the quilt has 58. Not sure though if i want to make that many, we'll see.Wednesday, May 1, 2024
