Ok, I'm gonna try to tackle this Challenge, I need a break from all the confetti in Miss Hathaway's Garden.

Day 1. Moonlit Cabin from Dimensions Gold Collection. It was a busy day and the only thing I got done is Griding the Aida, so no picture. I can't find the picture of the finished piece either.

Day 2. Another busy day so I picked a small project. Poinsettia Christmas ornament. Stitching is done, just need to sew it up into an ornament



Day 3. Dimensions Floral Trellis Wedding Record. I don't have anyone picked out for this to go to, so I'll leave it blank until I get a wedding invitation in the mail.



Progress so far:

Yipee for you I've joined the challenge too. I love the projects you've picked so far and good job on a finish so soon! It looks great

You have made a good start. I hope someone you know is planning on getting married as that is a lovely wedding record design. Good luck on your challenge. And keep us posted on your progress with lots of updates.

Very nice finish and great start on the 3rd one. I love the pattern so pretty!!!!!!!!!

I haven't updated in a few days, but I have been stitching

Day 4. Big Bird


Day 5. Wise man#1-Christmas ornament


Day 6. Wise Man #2

You have been busy. The wise men are so colorful and Big Bird is - well he's Big Bird and looking good.

Haven't updated in a while. here are my other projects

Day 7: Garden gate bookmark. All I did was white on white stitching, so no picture of the piece, the pattern looks like this:




Day 8: free December Factal bookmark. I don't know why they call it a bookmark, at 18 ct it's 4.25" X 11" all I did was cut and grid the Aida and pull floss, so no picture of my stitching, the photo is taken from my computer


Day 9: pattern is called Close Encounter--I call it darn cute

Day 10:
Poinsettia pillow. I wasn't crazy about the coverage the model had on the red Aida, so I am doing 3 strands of floss and I like the coverage much better





Day 11: Wise man #3



Day 12: Santa

Day 13, Eagle in Moonlight...probably my favorite piece





Day 14: Our Little Sprout Birth announcement. Doing this one for a co-worker's soon-to-be first grandchild. My co-worker is a farmer and his son (the baby's daddy) is too, so this pattern is PERFECT for the baby





Day 15: LAST DAY on the challenge! I'm gonna do the Free January fractal bookmark. Got a lot to do today, so again I'll probably just grid my Aida and pull the floss.

Here is the pattern:

What a fabulous collection of chats which will provide plenty of changes all through the year for you.

Sally

What a lot of great designs you've chosen!

Thank You,
I have not been stitching much the last few years, but I have added to my stash that whole time. This challenge got me into my stash pile and I pulled out some of my favorites to stitch up. I really hope I can get them all stitched by the end of the year. For now I am headed back to Miss Hathaway's garden. It was nice to take a break, but I'm eager to get back to it now.
