January Finish
The first month of the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge is No 6 and this was the bag kit form Scrub Stitchin last year. It is finished, I used some bag wadding to stiffen it but it's a bit too stiff and was very hard to turn through and also pull up the draw strings, never mind, next bag I might just use it for the base. I did a quick crosshatch quilting design on the bottom sides and back and just a few straight lines on the bottom of the front.
I have 3 lists this year, one list I finished the bag in previous posts which has now been gifted and the third list is quilting of which I did none this month it has been way to hot.

January
Oh my it is so hot, I think I'm melting.The last week while Dave was away at work it was too hot and humid to sew, bugger. We got a nice lot of rain Wednesday evening and Thursday morning so that was good. I have finally finished this book, Cloud Cuckoo Land, It was an interesting book the characters were great but like his previous book it was a while(last 100 pages) before they all came together. I was determined to finish it and I think it took me about 5 weeks to read.
Another one that took a while I think I just wasn't in the mood to read over Christmas but this was another great book by Kate Morton.
My first finish for the year is a bag for my niece, it was to be a Christmas present but I didn't use the right stiffening so I re did it and will get it to her soon.
My no 6 project is going nicely the embroidery is almost done so I will hopefully get to it this week and finish it off.

Scrappy Challenges.
I am going to do this challenge properly this year, last year I tagged along at the end.
So far my plan is to make 16 patches and also a bow tie block in the months colours, maybe something else I'm not sure.
Also I have challenged myself to sew for 30 minutes per day, so far I'm a 100 percenter.
The Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge number for January is 6 so that would be the bag from Scrub Stitchin. best get to it
These are the books that I borrowed and read last year some good, some great, some meh! I know I read a few more but didn't document them.
