Tuesday 3 September 2024


My challenge for September will be to begin the “Forest Friends” quilt I bought in the USA when I was there in 2017. The quilt is by Elizabeth Hartman so I think I’m in for lots of cutting and sewing. I bought it at a really lovely quilt store near Berlin in Ohio. 

                                                This was the quilt shop.!

After unpacking this it seems like it’s only one small section ..but that’s ok . I  might modify and use my stash as I like the lime green colours more.  We’ll see? I’ll start small and I can add to the flimsy. I know Annette has done this and it was lots of sewing and cutting. OMG I have so many quilts to sew . Don’t let me buy more ! And I’m going on a retreat with a shop this weekend . Give me strength Quilting Fairies!


August Summary of Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 Well hello everyone.😊 Sorry I’m late with this summary of August’s challenge which was to work on my EPP. I have no where near finished my Lucy Boston Quilt but I have advanced. Some more joining and planning and completely finished the cutting. I have decided to put this quilt together in quarters. This is the first quarter , probably 3/4 stitched. I have laid out the second quarter and have all the rows in bags ready to sew on the go. Then I realised I still had some filler blocks to go . They are now all cut and ready to sew.
