Deana has posted the project number for April and it is NUMBER 4.
I’m not sure if this is really funny or sad, but to date I have swapped around every project number that has been selected. Let’s see what Number 4 is:
Yep, you guessed it. I’m swapping this one around as well. At the start of the year I couldn’t find the fabric I had bought at Baradine last year to make this project and couldn’t find my pattern either.
The fabric has been found, but the pattern is still playing hide and seek. That is particularly annoying, as I have made this project twice before and have some hand written notes with the pattern to help me along the way. I know it is here somewhere, as I did have a look at it after I bought the fabric. Grrrr!
Anyway, in the mean time I am swapping it with my Number 5 which is the Granny Square Table Runner. I do have the fabrics for this one and the photo I am using for inspiration. It even travelled to Scrub Stitchin’ with me last year, but wasn’t worked on. The charm squares are left over from a Girls Day in the Country project from 2013, so I do think it is time to get this table runner made. My goal said that it will be good to practise ruler work on Monique, so it may not be completed in April, but will at least be well on the way and should be finished by the end of the year. As you can guess, this is now yet another project to pack to take to Baradine.
The funny thing is that when I chose my projects for the year I thought they would all be nice and easy to complete within a month. This is mostly true, as long as you don’t get busy with other things. Let’s hope I find more time later in the year, now that I have kept postponing those that need a little more thought.
RAINBOW SCRAP CHALLENGE
The colour this month is? I haven't been able to ascertain the colour as yet. Once again, I will keep it simple with my split nine patch blocks. Hopefully, that is something I can prepare in the next couple of days.
EDITED: The colour for April is RED. Now to pull some fabrics.
Other than that, I hope to have lots to show for my time at Scrub Stithin’. I can’t wait.
What I do need to do is get some hand stitching prepped, as other than my Sashiko panel, which is half done, I don’t have anything on the go at the moment. Oh, the possibilities…. and the decisions to be made. Watch this space.
