End of April Stitching Summary

April was a bit of a varied month when it comes to my stitching.  At Scrub Stitchin’ I was very productive, but for the rest of the month there wasn’t a great deal to show. Quite a bit of what I am going to share are duplicates of earlier posts.

Let’s start with the finishes.

Happiness is Stitching a Hexie Flower picture.

EPP Coathanger, which was actually completed in March, but not shared until gifted.

Knitted cardigan.

One Yard Wonder Quilt Top. I know this isn’t actually a finish, but I have finished my contribution to it.

Next,  the starts….. there were quite a few of those.

Bonnie Lass leader and ender project.

One inch hexies for something for the Chookshed Challenge.

And one I haven’t shared as yet.  I have started a crochet blanket.  This was due to the fact that I didn’t really have any hand work to play with, so it was something I could quickly start.  This is my first corner to corner blanket and it is proving to be a bit of a yarn guzzler, but I love the texture.  I’ve used one full large ball and half a small ball of yarn and it still isn’t to full width.  This was initially to be a donation project, but Mick likes it, so I guess it is his.

I have four balls of the yarn and will definitely need at least another four.  I can’t get any more in town, so will keep my eye out while travelling later this month, or if that fails, I can get some on line, but that’s no fun.  I also have some other random grey balls of yarn, so can mix them in with the large balls.

And finally, the ongoing progress on some projects.

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks were made.

At Scrub Stitchin’ I made the Secret Garden quilt top.

Also the blocks and worked out the layout of the Five and Dime Quilt.

The Appliqué Fish are progressing nicely. 

I have not progressed any of the above projects since we have returned home.

After Scrub Stitchin’, Lou and I both went along  to my Patchwork Group.  While there I completed the stitching of my Sashiko panel.  I’ve still no idea what I will make with it.

I joined in with a Zoom session while working on my crochet.  It was a lovely day, so I was able to sit outside.

When you look at all that, it seems a lot, but not a real lot happened on most of the projects.  I probably shouldn’t start any new projects for a little while, but get some of these finished.  Let’s see what May brings.

Oh, and I nearly forgot…,

I emptied three thread spools.  Not much, but better than nothing.

And, I managed to do 15 minutes on 23 days.  Some of those were for many hours, but it is the days that count.  Not bad, considering everything else that was going on.
