Catch all Caddy 2 using Tilda
I used Tilda fabrics - ”Circus Life Jubilee Blue” , lined with ‘Farm flowers Teal ‘ and bound with ‘ Ginger (a spot) ‘
I thought since I went to the show and bought the fabric I had better get into it and make something. I decided to make another Catch All Caddy and matching Easy as you Go bag. A matching set. One for machine sewing outings and one for hand sewing outings.

‘Easy does it’ Patterns by Annie
After finishing my Chookshed Stitchers Challenge I’ve got the bug so I have started on another couple of projects. If you were at Scrub Stitchn last year you may remember my ‘Catch All Caddy’ another from the Patterns by Annie collection. But I added something special, one of our visitors from the USA , Tracey made me this pin wheel block so I added it to the bag…the memories from that weekend are many and happy.
The new bag with it’s matching buddy . |

ChookshedStitchers Challenge 4
Challenge 4 done. For me it was a panel quilt. It’s not a huge quilt but one that has been in the stash for a number of years. Then I saw another little project I have had for 12 months or so. I decided I would do both for this challenge. I still ask myself why did I need the motivation of a challenge to dig into this part of my stash? That’s why I love a stitch along .
The advent calendar is “ Santa’s Tree Farm’” and the other panel is “Snow Buddies”
The advent calendar was easy to do as all the little pockets were folded up and not individually sewn

Laundry DIY
While I was working on my last Chookshed Stitchers Challenge I was also working on another sneaky project . I have updated my laundry from a single old tub over a tin cupboard in the corner to this.
Ta Da! I have always wanted a bench in my laundry. The cupboards, sink, tap and bench top were from Bunnings.(DIY store).We put all the cupboards together and the builder set them in for us with the sink, taps and tiles. Then I painted the room myself. So happy with it.

Finished Call of the Wild - Bear quilt
I am so wrapped to be finished the flimsy . If it weren’t for the challenge I’m sure it wouldn’t be done at this time. Thanks Deana and Donna. It has a few lumps and bumps on the design wall but I’m sure you see enough of it. Bernie loves it so I’m very happy about that because it will be his tv quilt for winter. I have to say I was a bit hesitant about all the points but I’m glad I chose the bear paw as I think it really sets off the bear. It’s also something I have never done before. Ok now I better check out the next challenge . Happy quilting .

Call of the Wild
I do love this bear quilt panel. Thanks to whoever suggested the bear paw block. I’m not a fan of points but I managing these slowly . I’m not quite done with the challenge of the month so may be it will get finished over the weekend coming up.This is my Chookshed Stitchers February Challenge to date. I’m planning on placing the same locks down each side . What do you think ? Or do I put a black or grey square in each corner and fill in with bear paw blocks.? Open to ideas to consider.

I am so glad we said we would 'work' on these projects because I have been away a lot of February and I don't think I'm going to finish but I have started . Well picking the design and fabrics anyway. I showed my panel in an earlier blog. I have decided to use a bear paw block in these colours .
