My May #5

My #5 project for Chookshed challenge is to quilt any finished tops for Treasured Babies .

I quilted most of the tops earlier this year, so I only have one left to do

I will add another challenge for the month. 

I need to get this borders on things quilt.  They are cut ready. 

I am hoping to get a lot more done but I want to keep my goals and expectations low.

Challenges for first week of May

 I need some motivation to make progress on my quilts.

This top needs the borders attached and the corners mitred.

The borders are cut and I have started pinning the first one.

I would also like to finish knitting this baby blanket. 

There are perhaps four stripes to go.

End of April

 I had quite a productive month.

My aim was to do a page worth of stitches on a large cross stitch projects.

A page is approximately 8,000 stitches.

I did 9,323.

My first stitches

 

My progress.

April check in

 My task this month is to stitch a page of a full coverage cross stitch.

That is equivalent to about 8,000 stitches. 

It was a new project on March 26th.

This is what the finished design is.

Mid march update

 I finished the 4 baby quilts that were on the list.

The first baby arrived this week and the quilt has gone in the mail, hence it is missing from the photograph. 

I have 12 little quilts from last month that need the binding stitched down.

That pile is on the left.

 

I have had a To Do book for a long time.

My UFOS are all listed there.

I  make notes and plan things out but there are no allowances made for pandemics, triplets or my biggest issue,  procrastination. 

Last week I cleaned the laundry rather than do a task I was procrastinating on.

I am hoping that the new list on the right might magically solve the issue.

Making progress

I have finished binding three little quilts for Treasured Babies

 

I have finally sorted out the problem with my new machine and am powering ahead with quilting.

Here are two baby quilts waiting for binding.

A third quilt is at the machine almost finished.

Mid February update

 This is a close up of some of the embroidery on my mother's quilt. 

I have done some more quilting on it but it is a little challenging as some of the pieced blocks are not quite accurate and the issues are not quilting out.

I will leave it on the sidelines for now while a ponder possible solutions. 

My #2 project,  I  have pieced and quilted 3 little quilts for Treasured Babies charity.

The bindings are now sewn on ready to stitch down.
