Sorry this post is a day later than usual. I spent the last two days driving 8 1/2 hours (one direction) to New Mexico and back. There was no time to stop and post. I just couldn't get a few minutes together to post before I left.
The Chookshed Challenge 2025 is nearly over as we only do ten months. That works great for me because I am a bit behind and hope to use the last two months of the year to catch back up. With only two numbers left to draw, it really won't be a big surprise what we get to work on in September. The challenge number is ... #3!
My number 3 is a Sashiko project. Hmmmm. I don't have a pattern picked out yet. The plan was always to do something small like a pillow cover. Since I am super close to finishing some tops from previous months, I suspect that I will work on them instead. I feel a need to cross things off the list rather than start new. Perhaps I will do my Sashiko during Christmas break in December when I am not working.
Last month was a bust for me as far as the challenge goes. I played hard the first couple week, prepped for school the next, and have been hyper focused on my students the rest. I did make some houses for a round robin row quilt. I am hopeful to get the rest of the row completed today so I can pass it on. It is due today.
She is asking for houses in Lori Holt Fabrics. She made the first row. Each person adds a row when they get it. I have selected a couple of patterns in my stash that will be paper pieced. I also plan to throw in some more trees of some sort.
We are doing bi-monthly rotations for a year. I will be adding a row to this one over the next two months. She is calling it "Farm Life".
I will get this Beach Themed one for November/December.
Here is the linky. Good luck everyone!
