Chookshed Challenge 2026

 Looking forward to joining in again with Deanna for another Chookshed Challenge and to following along with everyones projects.

In case you missed it, here is my roundup of 2025 projects and what a great success last year was.

So my list for this year is

1. Embroidered Rabbit

2. Retreat Bag

3. Canvaswork Kit

4. RSC log cabin quilt

5. Swap hexies

6. Gold oval frame embroideries

7. Rust project

8. Use eco print fabric

9. Summer Meadow embroidery kit

10. To be decided?

#3 has been drawn as our project for January and this is a beautiful Sue Hawkins kit. Now I am sure you know by now how much I love a Sue Hawkins kit!

This one was given to me by a fellow member of my quilt group who also loves Sue Hawkins. By coincidence we have identical thimble holders which was the very first kit that I bought from Sue about 20 years ago.


This is the kit that Gail gave to me.


Unfortunately, having made a start on the kit herself, she decided that it was beyond her. So my first job will be to unpick her work ready to make a fresh start.


I also need to give the pattern a good read through and sort out the threads.

I suspect that this is going to take me more than a month, especially with the Attic 24 CAL starting next week. But what I have not completed at the end of the month can be my #10 along with any other unfinished projects.

So my second post of the day, I shall be back next weekend with updates on my progress. Have a great week.

  8. Another year of lovely monthly makes on your list, Lin. There's a bit of unpicking to do on that sweet kit. I look forward to seeing this pretty finished. Enjoy your stitching.
