Chookshed Challenge

 I have been busily working away on my challenge this week - the Japanese folded patchwork.

Pamela miraculously found online the tutorial that I originally used for making these, originally published in The Quilter. So I now know that the article was written by Anne Williams in 2012. Although that was the year that I started blogging I can find no mention of these whatsoever! That date reminded me however that at that time I had dyed a lot of fabric using cotton lawn which would have made them easier to sew than the ones I made this time with recycled fabrics.

Earlier in the week I finished making the extra squares that I needed for my wall hanging and laid them all out to find the best layout. Here is my final placement after several tweaks, pinned onto a tea towel and ready to sew.

And here you can see where I have got to in sewing them together.

This is going quite quickly so am hopeful of a finish fairly soon.

My Stitch Journal continues - here is this weeks progress.

I need some more decoration on that lace so that will be tomorrows stitching.

Have a great week everyone.
