SS2026 - Chookyblue Setup and Day 1

  Finally I am getting to blog about Scrub Stitchin' 2026........ 

yep it was back in mid April but lets not dwell on that fact...........

This year I took a pile of stuff over on the weekend before as I had to much for one load and Miss Jules came for a run over and gave me a hand..........

We enjoyed lunch at the pub after we got the tables and chairs all set up.........

The skeleton ready to "make pretty"...........

the bare room is a pretty good canvas to work with as far as hanging quilts up..........

I do love to get some pics of the room before everyone brings all their stuff in..........

I went with a mix of colours this year that compliments the kits...........

I'll share the bag later........

The windows let some beautiful light in...........

Thanks heaps to Sandy from Shiralee Stitchers for bring some shop goodies........

and yes I was tempted once again..........woops....

She designs some gorgeous quilts as you can see here........

Nibbles Wednesday evening..........

a compulsory daily event............

More to come.........

Catch you later.........

The coolest crew for 2026......

Chookyblue....

group project.........if you want............

 Hi Girls
We have a group quilt design to work on if you so choose.............

Simply Serene by Diana Beaubien adapted by Jo and Chooky.......

This is totally optional like the usual but if you want to play along please join us...........

Quilt centre … 64” x 80” (no borders)

103 x 6.5” squares

40 x 6.5” Half Square Triangles

32 x Side setting triangles

4 x corner setting triangles

To make HST 8 at a time you will need 5 each x 14.5” of your 2 contrasting colours.....

To make the 32 x side setting triangles you will need to cut 8 x 10.5” and cut into 4 diagonally (slightly oversized)

To make the 4 x corner setting triangles you will need to cut 2 x 5.5” cut into half diagonally.

We have added below some colour options to get you thinking.............

The pattern is based on 5in squares....But being Jo and I we have adapted it to 6.5in squares..........

other colour ways below............

you can make it smaller if you choose also............

As I said this is completely optional and you can do what you want with it or do nothing.........

Any questions please leave them on this post or ask Jo or myself......

Hope you join in the fun..........

Chooky and Jo..........
