Happy New Year ( or tomorrow)
I thought I would recap the year. I thought I had finished more. I did finish a lot, started a lot, kept working on quite a bit and of course, bought a lot. There is no real order of finishes. I always seem to mix large projects with the smaller squirrel projects.
Just talking about the finishes here. I finished Rest Thy Needle by Notforgotten Farms for my sister for her birthday
I finished Teresa Kogut's Pet All the Dogs. I really love this project. I stitched all the dogs to commemorate the dogs we have or had: Huck, Jake (the big black dog our first), Buster is in a sweater, Henry Ford and FD--Future Dog
October Sampler by Threadwork Primitives was another amazing sampler.
This really didn't take long. I worked on this at the Stitching Bee retreat.
I do need to see if I have a frame to fit this or at least parts, or it may be a good one to see if I can order a custom frame online.
Heart in Hand Tom Turkey. Super fun, super quick I finished in a door hanger pillow for Katy. She needed a fall, not Halloween piece for a new house.
I also made her a Christmas/Winter display from Brenda Gervais Snow Ball. The only one I didn't do was Fa La La....my least favorite one. I was ecstatic that the bottle brush trees went so well!
For BBDweekend SAL I finished Rosehips and Ivy in the Sewing Club book. While digging through my stash, I have this as a kit. I still haven't decided to frame it or make a drum out of it.
My January 1, 2021 start was HATS Martha Dawson. I finished it in August. This needs to get framed. I may have a frame around here....just got to look but, I really want to stitch more than finish. LOL.
BBD Pins and Needles. It was a kit from a Dying to Stitch Club. Katy bought her buddy Bobby a scissors for Christmas and I stitched this up in two days and completely finished it.
I don't do stuff like this, so fast for just anyone. I really like Bobby.
This was a Threadworks Primitive freebie I got with the October Sampler and really liked it's kind of quirkiness.
I completely stitched and finished La D Da's Murder of Crows. I love La D Da, and I especially loved the name of this one.
This was a freebie from La D Da called Love Ya.
Just a beautiful alphabet.
From Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly Ann Pierce Brown that I changed the colors to match some beautiful egg colors in a dozen of eggs I got from a friend. This I do have framed.
Little Deeds from The Scarlet House. Just a sweet little sampler. This was a very lovely stitch.
I have several works in progress that I hope to finish this this year. I get sidetrack by shiny squirrels.
While doing this, I have heard Betty White has passed away. Rest well Betty, I have enjoyed your body of works!!!
Happy New Year! Here's to a better and healthy 2022!
Keep on Stitching

You have stitched some wonderful things. I do the same thing by mixing big and little projects. I wish I had kept better track! Well, I hope the new year will be a wonderful one for you and your family. You do have some really fun things coming up like a wedding! How exciting! ( Am I correct about that?)
ReplyDeleteYou have some great finishes from 2021.
