It's the first day of the New Year 2025 and the call is out to organise our projects for the Chook Shed Challenge. It's always a bit of a worry to me that I can list ten projects so easily, and there are plenty more waiting in the wings. Guess I just have too many UFOs.
So my list is as follows. I have to admit that the first five were on my list for 2024.
1. Elephants on Parade. This top was completed last year, and I would now like to get it machine quilted.
2. Pink/Grey Cot Quilt. I made this bonus top last year to use up the final strips from the elephant quilt. Needs machine quilting.
3. Houses. Another top I assembled last year, to utilise the many house blocks I had stitched up years ago. This needs machine quilting too.
4. House Cot Quilt. I had enough leftover house blocks to put together a bonus cot quilt top, same story, needs machine quilting.
5. Christmas Stitchery. This was on my list for last year but never got touched during it's month as we were traveling. The stitcheries are done and need to be assembled.
6. Wheels of the Bus Panel. A transportation panel (from a rescued duvet) that I plan to make into a whole cloth quilt for a boy.
7. Butterflies. Inside my bag of butterfly blocks, stitched during a previous Rainbow Scrap Challenge a couple of years ago are blocks for several butterfly quilts. I'll be happy to finish one of them off, or maybe two?
8. Burgundy Log Cabin. Quite an old project and I brought it up to Levin with me when we shifted house about 12 years ago. It's been sitting patiently in the bag, I think the blocks are done and I'm up to piecing the border. Any work to take it a bit further will be helpful.
9. Jungle Panel. Another panel to work on, this one was received from my former neighbour, which will make a cute cot quilt.
10. Pencil Pouches. I want to make several more of these to donate to Foster Hope and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.
