I wait with baited breath  :laughing:

I tidied my sewing room over the summer and it’s still tidy, so I won’t be spending half of the month looking for the project.

I’m the same, @fajita .  I probably won’t go and then regret it, although I may go and then regret it.

Have you used it before @Pearl? Just wondered if it’s good. I always use Regia for socks as I wouldn’t want to go to all the effort of knitting socks if the yarn wasn’t long lasting.

No, I haven’t.  I usually use Regia or Yorkshire Spinners.  I’ll give it a go though, @Sheilago

No 14 and 19 for October

For me that’s the Spirals quilt I started at a Jan Hassard workshop about 100 years ago.  I’m hand quilting it and am about a third of the way through.  It’s not very big so I hope to have it finished next month.  19 is knitting for charity, which is easy to achieve, so I’m happy with this draw.

Oooo, sock yarn!  I might need some of that.  Luckily, I work very close to Lidl.  :thumb:

I’ve been making a 4 patch lattice quilt for DD using a video by Missouri Quilt Company.  I’m working systematically, instead of my usual haphazard approach, so I might get it finished this year.

But surely @Acorn the whole point of doing /  making something is to finish it?? Stuff hanging around isn't productive and the impetus to get it finished must diminish. Then, all you have is a pile of part used fabrics  ::thinks:: good for nothing and no end product

For me, it’s much more about the process (which is just as well  :laughing:).  I enjoy trying new techniques.

September’s numbers are 1 and 15. 

For me, a row-by-row quilt and a sashiko panel that I haven’t begun yet.  Happy with those.

@Acorn , do you have a pic of a top you’ve made using number 3, please?

Obviously as any garment I have made is living in a box (although one did make it to the bin recently), I don’t have a list, but will be watching this thread with interest.

I still hope to learn to make garments and am on the waiting list for a course at a local college.

I've done much better this month because it's the school holidays.  I've finished one project and moved the other along.  Any progress is a step nearer to completion (although I'll probably have an almost identical board next year).

Maybe.  It didn’t seem too busy when I went on Thursday, but I was there early and left before lunch. 

I liked the new categories Sustainability and Joy of Sharing, where the quilts aren’t judged.  I think we should enter that one, @Lowena . I was going to say next year, but you could do it next year and I could do it in 2028.   :laughing:

Numbers for August are 18 and 24.

That is Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery and the temperature quilt, for me.
