Crazy January, Day 2

On the second day of January, I started a Starfish Biscornu that is a model, so I can't show you what I stitched! I will be able to show you a picture at the end of the month, after the cruise! It is very pretty!

Stats so far:
2 days, 2 starts, 1 finish

First Finish of 2012




I know it doesn't look like much, but never the less, my part is finished! This is the border and my square of the Threads of Life 12 person Round Robin. When I get this back, each square will be stitched and I will add the charms that I have for it. The border was actually my last finish of 2011, and the square (and the recharting of the wording) was my first finish of 2012.




The chart is Baltimore Garden Quilt by Handblessings Designs. It is stitched on 28 count coffee Jobelan with Gentle Arts Sampler Threads.




Every 6 weeks I will be stitching on someone else's project and sending it on until we are done, sometime in the middle of 2013, I think.

December Progress and January Goals plus Year End recap

In 2011 I had 66 finishes and stitched for a total of 697.75 hours, not my best stitching year but not the worst, either.

I will be on a stitching cruise for a week toward the end of January, so I will be stitching models for the cruise the first part of the month. I will also be part of a 12 person round robin that begins in January and a 4 person round robin that will begin hopefully in February.
