WIPS-Part Two

I started going through a tote that I had not looked in for a good while and I found a treasure trove of stitchery. Some of these projects I had completely forgotten about so it was like opening up a new gift. With the exception of One Nation and Faith, all of the others are ufo's but are now going to be wips as I have decided that I will no longer have ufo's. I am a little embarrassed and mad that I allowed myself to shove these projects away and not give them any love. I am including a picture of what they will look like when finished but I apologize as I do not have the name of the fabric or date started as these are all from a good while ago and before I started tracking that information. All of the BAP's are on either 16 or 18 count aida and use DMC, some of the projects came as kits and I used the fabric and threads provided. There are still a few that I have yet to photograph but I will get them posted soon. The post is very picture heavy but I hope you Enjoy!

Round Robins

I have not participated in a round robin in several years but a stitch friend of mine asked me to stitch on her piece. There were not enough people to stitch the entire design that she was using, so I just finished stitching a square on it. The pattern is not one that I would have chosen to do for me but after seeing the squares stitched, it is very cute and I like it much better than just looking at the pattern. I stitched the upper left hand corner, Brassica.


I would love to hear about your round robins, please post info and pictures in the comments.

Good Monday Morning Friends!

I thought I would start off today by posting some of my wips. Over the weekend I started taking pictures of wips to share on here.
