Chookshed Stitchers Challenge“ June “ Quilting New Zealand Quilt.

 Well I didn’t get my challenge done. Quilting my N Z memory quilt. It is on the machine and it has started. I haven’t used my long arm for a while and it took 2-3 days to maintain it , get the stitching tension right and working out the quilting design. 

I decided on a rustic bar graph look for the border.  Large stippling for the sky and I will quilt the rest in some custom way. 

With Bernie being back and forth to the hospital June went to fast. He is all good now , the pain is gone finally. He ended up having a cyst on his spine but it’s all gone and all good now.  Stay tuned !

February Challenge for Chookshed Stitchers

 Another month has flown by and I managed to complete the second Chookshed Challenge for 2025. 

This month my challenge was to finish my Confetti Quilt . I started this quilt last year at the spring retreat I think. It’s a good scrappy quilt but lots of sewing. I originally bought the pattern to make up in the Tilda Jubilee range but there is so much waste I decided to save that beautiful fabric and use scraps. As soon as My pineapple quilt comes off the machine I will get this one quilted.
