Chookshed Challenge for May is nearly over. I hope you were all successful with your personal May goal. Here is the linky party to show off your progress!
My Chookshed May Report:
Kiwi birds are done and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I will add eyes to them at some point. Chris at the Farm in Canada willingly offered me some of her lovely Tilda fabrics for them. We spent 5 FABULOUS days together at the farm! There will be more on that in another post.
15 Minutes to Stitch Report:
I have been super busy with school coming to a close, grading, and packing for my trip to Canada. It was all a great journey, but I have neglected my regular linkies with Kate - Life - in - Pieces. Yes, I am still at 100% thanks to hand work in flight.

I cannot believe how much stitching work you get done in a day. I paired up all my tilda fabrics with an ancient solid jelly roll. I was great to have you join us at the Farm this past wekend.
