Chookshed Challenge #1 - Christmas Stitchery - NOT

Like a number of the  Chookshed Stitchers - I selected a Christmas Stitchery for Project #1...a great idea at the beginning of the year , , , but at the end of the year, I decided I really didn't have a particular Christmas Stitchery I needed or wanted to sew . . So,  I decided to swap this one out for some of the Christmas stuff I do need to do.
I got some of it done.....there are still 3 months to Christmas??? correct???   NO??? oh well.

One thing I did get out of the way is a Christmas themed placemat for the Night Group of Queensland Quilters.

I have also made several decorations - but they are for people who may read my blog so you will just have to trust me about them.

And I put some work towards a cross stitched Christmas Tree.....I am not too sure I will be able to get it done for this year . . but I might!

This is the last Challenge Number for 2025.  I've been very happy to tag along as part of the Challenge - organised by Deana - but supported by many of the Chookshed crew, all over the world.  Thanks to Deana and all the bloggers who make this possible and fun!

I have done fairly well - I did make some changes to my plans during the year...but plans are just a guide...right??? LOL

Time to start thinking about the 2026 list . . . .maybe starting with leftovers from 2025???
