Chookshed Stitchers challenge 1 done and dusted. It’s amazing how we get things done when there is a challenge laid down. Just helps the motivation. Thanks Deana and Donna. I hope Annie doesn’t mind but I changed out the back bag fabric for another piece of Annie’s fabric that I love.
I was actually working on 2 projects this month, I now have finished the top of a crazy quilt (for a new baby gift) and have it on my quilting frame.
When my grandchildren were born we had a baby shower and asked everyone to bring a fat quarter- well the variety of fabric you receive is crazy. Enough to send a quilter mad unless you love crazy quilts where you pick each piece out of a bag no matter whether it matches or not. That’s really not me. I am a bit of a ‘matching’ person.
I then cut and laminated a scrap of each fabric and put the name of the contributor on it , place it in a little bag for the future. Even 10 years on my grandchildren look at and match their fabrics to their quilt. It’s amazing to see which people are still in their lives 10 years on.

| A trip down memory lane my 2 completed scrub stitching projects and the zip pouch is a copy of what I gave in the present swap. I’ll be all bagged up for this years trip. |
