February Wrap Up

As predicted, February wasn’t the month to get a lot of stitching done.  However, having said that, I did achieve a little bit.

The blue RSC blocks were completed.

The thing I am most pleased with is the Sea Glass Mini Quilt that I completed as my Chookshed Stitchers Challenge for the month.

I’m also very happy to have completed my latest knitted scarf.

I didn’t get very far with my Anni Downs Pouch, just managing to stitch a few of the labels.  Something to aim for next month.

When I went to my patchwork day one Wednesday I took along my Blue/Hope Quilt and unpicked the two offending borders.  It feels good to have at least made a start on fixing the wavy border problem.  Now I just have to give them a good press and a very accurate measure before dismantling the checkerboard/applique border to tweak it to fit properly.  I’m not really looking forward to that, but needs must.

Oh, and in my “I don’t know where to start or what to take along to stitching” I ended up starting work on another Sashiko panel that was lurking in a tub.  Just the mindless stitching I needed at the time.  There is no deadline or anything on this one, so it was nice and relaxing to work on.

And……. you know how I said I didn’t need any more of those knitted scarves………

Well, I just happened to be in a shop and this just happened to fall into my basket………  No, it actually was an intentional purchase.  I will be sitting on a train for a few hours on the weekend and wanted something easy and portable to work on, without having to worry about needles and scissors etc.  Another scarf fitted the bill, so I have now started Number 4.

As for my 15minutes a day.  Not so good, but that was also expected.  Remember, I am being more lenient on myself this year.

February = 17/28

Year to Date = 44/59

Success Rate = 74.58%

And to finish off, no cotton spools were emptied this month.

Hopefully, March will be a bit more organised and productive.
