Chookshed Challenge April and the last week

 Happy to say that my Chookshed Challenge is finished and I have enjoyed working on this one in April.

This is the Wild Strawberry Scissor Point Cover, kit by Sue Hawkins

I already had the magnet needle holder which I made last year and they are going to live together in my hand quilting kit bag. Sue is always very generous with thread and I am hoping I may have enough left overs from both kits to make a matching thimble holder. Watch this space.

While working on this at Quilt group I was offered another of Sue's kits by a lady who had purchased it but didn't feel up to making it. Of course I said Yes Please!

This could be one for next years Chookshed list!

Also finished this week are the Winwick Mum Trailblazer socks which I started back in April.

I made these using West Yorkshire Spinners Passion Fruit Cooler 4ply sock yarn.

I think that is enough finishes for one week! I have of course been working on my Stitch Journal every day - here is my progress since my Easter post.

Happy stitching everyone.

 Good Friday and it's Friday Night Sew In which Wendy is extending to Easter Weekend Sew In. Click here to see who joined in and what they are getting up to. I thought I would start by posting my Friday work and will catch up later with anything else I work on over the weekend.

 During the afternoon I worked in my #31daysartjournal sketchbook, now well into 40+ days but I finally have a couple of pages I am calling finished.

I love Ranunculus flowers and this one flowered on my kitchen window sill for most of March and into April so deserved a two page spread.

Then during the evening I added two pink RSC Dresdens to my quilt, they had been finished for a few days so just needed pressing and appliqueing.

Not many more of these little ones to do then I must do four rainbow Dresdens for the corners.

On Thursday I finished these Winwick Mum Easy Lace socks from her book More Super Socks. The lace bit really is easy and I love her heel. Next to try I think is the pattern for Easy Cable Socks - its some time since I did a cable. Meanwhile I can crack on with the hat that I bought the yarn for last week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Easter!
