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
ReplyDeleteThat beaded bead looks intriguing - and what a successful month!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! Jacob's quilt looks amazing! I love the latch hook too! You have lots of great projects going on.

ReplyDeleteIt 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.
