Well, didn't October fly by quickly! I was busy and then came down with a cold ..... but sewing did happen.
Our Canadian Thanksgiving was busy at the cottage. There were two camper trailers, trailers for the ATV's, cars and trucks. We decided that more space was needed to accommodate all the vehicles and the toys. Next year we will be busy cutting down some trees to make space. It will be good to open up the back a bit more for fire protection.
My Hubby's brother came for a visit. I'm so glad that he came now because next year could be a different story. We did a face time with their sister in B.C. Out of 8 siblings, there are only 3 left. So sad.
This UFO is now a top, well almost! Borders are left to do. Yeah for me! This project was my choice to try to finish for the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge. It was not on the original list, but we could change our list along the way.
Then, I wanted to add at least one more row onto my Chevron Log Cabin quilt as you go and ..... viola .... Row 6 was added! So, am quite happy with how the month of October turned out this much progress. Row 6 is the half-way mark.How did I do for the 10 month challenge? Well, when I looked at the list of UFO's .... not that great but am still happy with the push to get a few UFO's done and lots of other things. I will have to rethink how I will do the challenge for next year.
My list for the challenge was #l, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Out of this list, only #9 got done. My Rail Fence Delight. I'm still not finished doing the hand quilting around the stars, so no photo of the full quilt.
Alternate months were for the following:
NICU baby blankets - none got done
Gift or donation quilts or tops - oh yes, a few here got done
Adult bibs - none got done
Adding hanging sleeves onto quilts - oh yes, lots got done. With my love of displaying my quilts, these sleeves needed to be added to the quilts. Whew, so glad they are done and being used.
Frankenpiecing batting - lots, but no photo
QAYG Log Cabin blocks - I've made great progress and the pieced batting went into these blocks.
So, this challenge was good for me and I will join again in the new year. Thank you, Deanna, for hosting the challenge!
