After so long a silence, all my (few) readers have left! It's to be expected, of course, and I've come to the realization that I'm not really a "blogger", like some of the beautiful stitching blogs I follow.
Still, I do want a good way to keep records of my stitching. I re-joined the Fair & Square exchange, and am anticipating being in a stich-a-long or two, as well as an exchange or two. I am firmly determined to make this the year of stitching without guilt, and I don't want to lose track of what I accomplish.
I also want to join the TUSAL run by
daffycat. It sounds like fun, and there is a giveaway! Hop over to her
blog and see what it's all about!
So, here are my planned stitching projects for 2011:
1.
Fair & Square rounds - all the regular rounds and special holiday rounds if I feel up to them at the time.
2. The Queen's Sampler: Elizabeth I by
Plum Street Samplers. (This was my New Year's start.)
3. 2011 SAL by OakHaven designs. You can check
Tonia's Yahoo group here.
4. Valentine's Day card exchange on the SanMan Originals
message board.
And, here is my progress on my New Year's start:
The Queen's Sampler by Plum Street Samplers
32-ct Light Chino by R & R Reproductions (think this is discontinued)
DMC as charted
Started: January 2, 2011
Oh, and I forgot to put the pattern in the picture - here is what the finished product will look like:
