#4 Chookshed Challenge

Deana picked #4 for the March challenge No and on my list it was “A New Start” so I decided to cut the blocks for the “Wanderer’s Wife . 


They’re all done and bagged ready to pop into my box for our annual retreat in August . ( good to be prepared) .



And I’m delighted to have given my dear friend Jan the huge box of scraps because she had fun sorting through them and was happy to take them home. I was happy to get rid of them..

I also decided to make a reading cushion as another “New Start” and used some of the Minon fabrics that were in my stash.





The back and the front made with 2 1/2” blocks.

Thanks Deana for this fun challenge and I’m looking forward to April’s No…

Must away as I want to catch up on some Blog reading.

Happy Stitching 🧵 

Hugs Maria 💖

  7. My word - you are well prepared in advance!! I don't think I could wait that long.
    I've been working on My Small world - and have a load of scraps in that box...maybe your friend needs to visit me too!
    Reading pillows make great gifts or donations.

  14. Such a cute reading pillow. I made a bunch of these for the grandkids when they were younger. I've noticed a couple of them are still in use. You are so well organized with the blocks all kitted up and labeled.
