This month was a design topic - Line. I said I'd skip this month and just work on my blackwork, but the host, Elizabeth, pointed out that blackwork is a form of line! I haven't completed the piece - I've just finished block 2 out of about 3,654,891 (perhaps not quite that many), but it's a long-termer.

Sew Kitschy paper piecing bom
This month we had a jug and glasses. I can assure you that it's beautifully printed out and sitting on my cutting table... does that count?

2014 FAL
A quick reminder of what's on the Follow Along List:
1. Chair cushions for dining room - done in April
2. Finish the latch hook - so close! I ran out of red wool in June. I ordered some more and it does, sort of match. Unfortunately it was 6-ply, rather than the 3-ply I'd been using, and about an inch longer, so it got a haircut. It doesn't quite match, but it's not that noticeable!
Sad to say, I didn't get round to binding it this month, I just couldn't face it. This is going on my Q3 list.
3. Silhouettes x stitch - done in May
4. Jacob's quilt - done in May
5. Mosaic tray - finito!
4/5, pretty good going!
It's around here that I come grinding to a halt...
Something Old, Something New
"Old" - the latch hook. So no, failed.
"New" - I said I'd make a start on my stained glass quilt, and I did! I got all the blocks done, and was about to sash it when I thought I might make it bigger and make some more blocks...

A Lovely Year of Finishes
I planned on making a bag from a kit. I failed. Didn't even get started.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge
June was yellow, I made the blocks and put them together, but didn't get the scrap bucket made. Let's call that a half a point!

That's not bad. You did more than half! I've gotta tell you, I stared at the picture of the latch hook for a while trying to find the new red wool, and I couldn't. It really doesn't show that it's two different shades!
ReplyDeleteYour latch hook piece looks good Wendy, and I can understand you not feeling like binding it just yet. You sure do have a lot of projects on the go but really, the main thing is that you be well and happy. Have yourself a really good week doing what you enjoy, xoJoy
ReplyDeleteI think you should be happy with that, more than 50% is always good in my book!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon too.
Slightly better than halfway - that's pretty good if you have been going through a period of cotton-wool-for-brains! I've been there, and achieving anything at all can be a real struggle..
ReplyDeleteYou're still getting lots accomplished! I can't see the difference in the red at all.
ReplyDeleteThat's still good going, not a bad month at all.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a problem with the red wool, and I think you got a lot done, so YAY!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great. I understand what meds can do so I'll be cheering you on for a little extra encouragement.
