May Challenges

Oh, what a month May has been for me.  Busy, busy, busy with appointments for hubby.

So, did anything get accomplished?  For the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge, nothing got done on this star project.  I did find the book (which was in the bottom of the bin), read through the next round of instructions and just put the book back in the bin with the project and closed the lid.  Oh dear!  That doesn't sound like a good start on getting this ufo worked on.

So, what did I do?

I worked on finishing this ufo instead and so, so happy that it is finally a top.  There was a lot of hand stitching those stars and circles and bit by bit one border got done and then another and so on until ..... DONE!  My Rail Fence Delight and how delightful it turned out.  The size is 75-1/2" x 91-1/4"

Then, the days slipped by in a blur and the binding was not on my quilt yet.  Finally, with one day to spare it got done.  I just love the backing fabric which came from a duvet cover from Ikea.

So, here is my quilt done and ticked off for my May Binding Challenge with no-blog Mary.  There will be a separate post about our challenge and about this quilt.

Even though #5 of the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge did not get worked on, I'm very happy with what did get accomplished.  Don't worry, that star project has not been shelved, it is still around my cutting table, so it will get worked on at some point.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!
