Needlequest - the challenge this month was blackwork.
I started, or rather restarted my Save the Stitches sampler. I have actually got quite a bit further than this photo (blog post coming up soon), so I'm declaring this a success.

Sew Kitschy paper piecing bom
Arghh! What is wrong with me? I love paper piecing and I love Kristy's designs, this food mixer was destined to be a trivet - alas, it didn't happen.

2014 FAL
A quick reminder of what's on the Follow Along List:
1. Chair cushions for dining room - finished in April, see my post here
2. Finish the latch hook - not a single piece of wool put in this month.. better getting moving
Edited to add: Please, please, please, please do NOT refer to this as a "Union Jack" in my earshot. It is NOT a Union Jack. I have NO plans to take this on a ship and hang it from the mast. This is a major bugbear for me. It's called the Union Flag. It is only a Union Jack on a ship
4. Jacob's quilt - done!! yay!
5. Mosaic tray. Ermm... not yet...

Something New for 2014
I had a go at curved piecing...
...and completely failed. You can have a laugh at my expense here.
I also made my first beaded bead.

A Lovely Year of Finishes
For this month's challenge, I wanted to chose a design and make my first 6 blocks of my Bluebird Park quilt. I made 8 blocks, but still haven't chosen an overall quilt design. I'm making it up as I go along! See my post here.

Yay! Great job this month, Wendy! :D
That beaded bead looks intriguing - and what a successful month!
I was thinking maybe you could add another row to the bottom of the second bun so that he'd be on the same row as the other? And add a row to the first bunny's ears?
Hi Wendy! Jacob's quilt looks amazing! I love the latch hook too! You have lots of great projects going on.

You got Jacob's quilt done - I'd say that whatever your goals were, that was a good one to complete!
A very good month, I can't wait to see what's on the list for June
you have certainly achieved a great deal this month, some lovely pieces and so many different talents you have shared with us
It seems that May has been a crazy month for a lot of us. You've still managed to stitch your way through some beautiful pieces. I'm looking forward to seeing how you arrange the blocks in the Bluebird Park quilt. I love the colours.
Good going....I'd say great going!!! We all need a few extra hours in each day to be able to accomplish all that we want :)
Wow! Very well done!!! You have been so busy and the projects are a lovely variety of yumminess! xxx
Wow! You've managed to get so much done! Jacob's looks really good.

Lots of beautiful and fun projects!
