End of Month Stitching Wrap Up

 I have rather surprised myself with how much I achieved this month.  I suppose the enthusiasm of a new year and some new challenge parties is always encouraging.  Also, it has been a relatively quiet month for us in general, which has created more time for playing.

So how did I go with my goals?

The Scrub Stitchin’ Bag ticked a couple of boxes, being the Chookshed Stitchers’ Challenge and the One Monthly Goal.  The little scrap was turned into a bookmark.

I worked on my split nine patches and then started “Fishy Business” for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I’m a bit ahead on the Just Two Charm Pack Quilt Along.

For my knitting or crochet project I crocheted twelve of my Spiked Granny Squares, so now have twenty one completed.

My hand stitching included the Srub Stitchin’ Bag and “What Sweet Delight” stitchery.

I worked on two donation projects, being the Winnie the Pooh baby quilts, which also ticked the box for using Monique to quilt them.

I completed three UFOs, being the two baby quilts and the “What Sweet Delight” stitchery.

Two other UFOs were worked on.  I added then next border to the Blue Quilt. Today at my patchwork group I started to remove the papers from the Dresden plates ready to applique onto the final border.

For the Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt I appliquéd four hexy flowers down and traced all the leaves and vines  ready to start the appliqué. 

I completed five projects, including the little bonus bookmark.

As you can probably guess, I managed to work on something for at least 15 minutes every day.

January = 31/31

Year to date = 31/31

Success rate = 100%.

I’m tired just reading all I did.  It is a dead certainty that I will not be that productive for most months during the year,  but it feels good to have made a positive start.
