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???

Good idea to continue on from this year. I have a few that did get worked on but not finished.

Great placemat and the cross stitch looks wonderful too - I fell off with the challenge this year, looks like you have done well.

Love the cross stitch tree! After spending the year with the temperature tree I'm even more impressed with your Christmas tree. I think I've lost my touch with cross stitch so appreciate it even more!

Love the placemat and that tree will be very festive once it's completed.
