Check-In Post - June 10th 2025

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Did some handsewing on Saturday.


Finished a quilt (bound) on Monday.


Started a new quilt last night. Then realised I'd cut the blocks too small - the pattern sizing is the FINISHED block, and I made no allowances for seams. *facepalm* So now I'm adding framing to the blocks...


I've decided I have to do more "little progresses" because in spite of it meaning I'm leaving a litter of projects behind me, half-done, it means I have more projects to do to nag me off social media and other timewasters. (Civ II, I'm looking at you.)

The finished quilt is absolutely beautiful! And I really like the cloth you picked for the second quilt. Way to go!

Hand sewing always seems such an intricate and time-consuming process to me. You must have a lot of patience.

The quilt is gorgeous!

Oh dear! Still, at least you've come up with a solution, so well done!

How beautiful! I love the black and blue butterfly print!
