2026 Chookshed Stitching Challenge

This will be the third year participating in this 10 month challenge.  I always seem to do well as the rules are vague and flexible and that makes it so easy to accomplish something.  

For the month of January ….. I will try to get a binding onto one of these quilts:

For my next round of hopeful accomplishments (but not assign a number),  I will work on the following when it feels right.  That is what I love about the challenge…..it is so flexible and that helps keep me motivated!

Adding more flying geese blocks to this Xmas project.

This EPP will be worked on for most of the months of the challenge.  There is no pattern for this …. I’m just winging it and so far, I love it.  I do need to get all those hexies transferred to another portable design wall to help free up my main design wall.

Assemble the remaining blocks (that are in a stack at the bottom of this photo) into a top.

I will just start with these for now.  More projects will be added as the months go by and I can assess my progress.  With my condition, my abilities to do things are slowing me down and that is why I need to be realistic and see what I can actually achieve.

With the new year, I don’t generally make resolutions …. exception this year is exercise more as that will keep me from using a walker or a cane in our home.  My cane is my companion outdoors and a walker allows me to zip around in a shopping mall.  The stair lift in our home is very helpful on those days when my legs feel weak or for when I need to save my strength to go on errands or appointments.  It seems to be when there is a weather change coming my muscles are affected.

Cherish your day, cherish your life and cherish your country!  My country will always be CANADA!  Elbows up!
