No. 1 chookshed challenge

 I decided my Xmas stitchers project was to be one that I started about 2011.

The pattern was a Rosalie Quinlan design from 2010. The shop I used to go to often was Quilters Bazaar in Gisborne. They had a block of the month and I just had to do it.

All I had done is the 1st month and had started the 2nd month.

I stitched the wings and hair on this block. It just needs its little numbered pocket on it.

My daughter bought it too but didn’t sew very much at all. When she gave me back all her sewing supplies this was amongst it. At least it was altogether in a folder but no threads with it.

This 1st block is stitched. The pockets have not been attached.

The 2nd block was started.

Looks like I’ll be finishing both projects. 

These sew up to make a lovely advent calendar. Each block has a little pocket with the days number on it.

My grandsons are now 17 and nearly 15 so by the time these are finished they will make nice gifts for their homes in the future.
