I'm excited to be participating in the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge, hosted by the lovely Deana from Dreamworthy Quilts!
I may or may not be a little late in posting my list... and in starting, but better late than never...... maybe???!!!
What is the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 (Sewing) Challenge?
It's a challenge for a bunch of us bloggers to work on a sewing related project each month this year - well, 10 months I guess because we are making a list of 10 things.
Each month Deana will chose a number, and we will work on that project... and then share our progress.
January's number was #6.. and since it is the end of the month already and I am only just getting this post up, I've decided to cheat a little and make my #6 the goal that I have actually been working on this month - organizing my sewing spaces!
Don't worry, I'll be good and follow the list properly for the rest of the year!

Let's look a bit closer at each of these....
#1 ~ Heartfelt BOM
Here is where I am up to with this BOM:
#2 ~ Chicken Salad BOM
i need to do the machine applique on each of these blocks:
#3 ~ Kitchen BOM
Only four more blocks to go on this one... if I finish the blocks in the month we're working on #3, and I still have time, then I will start putting them together...
#4 ~ Chookie's Churn Dash
Got all the blocks done, just need to put it all together....
#5 ~ Barn Dance
A fair bit more to do on this one... it was rather ambitious but it will be gorgeous!
#6 ~ Organize Studio and Inside Sewing Area
I particularly wanted to get Emmie G clear and ready to use this year... because most of last year she looked like this:
I will do another post on my progress this month...
#7 ~ Ribbon Border Quilt
All pieced and ready to quilt!
#8 ~ Christmas in July Mystery Quilt
Also all pieced and ready to quilt!
#9 ~ Evergreen Mystery QAL - finish
This one came to an abrupt halt because I need to unpick!!!
#10 ~ Beautiful Day BOM
This one is also nearly done - just four blocks to go...
Who are the others participating in the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 (Sewing) Challenge?
There are quite a few of us participating in this fun challenge! You can find the whole list at the end of this blog post on Deana's blog"
Thank you Deana for hosting this challenge - just making my list has motivated me and I am looking forward to having a bit of guidance on what to work on each month... that is other than the, ahem, one or two, ahem, other things I will probably start!!
