Christmas Through the Year

Finished 2 projects to use as gifts next year.
My Blackbird designs mini X-stitch ornament and
another Primitive Gatherings Wool Stocking.
I think these will be great with a candy cane and twig to go on the top of packages.
A big thanks to Darlene and Cheryl for keeping us motivated.

I have a good start on my Feb. ornament as well.
It will be hard to stay on track with these goals when I am so obsessed with these:
the nursery and 
the patriot's home.

However, true to my promise, finishing up my 1880 Sampler is my primary February goal.
Cross your fingers I can accomplish it.
And BTW, I did finish all the applique on my Easter table runner!
Quilting it is on the list for Feb.

  9. The angel stocking is my style. The tree stocking looks very elegant. I did not participate in the Christmas gift sew-along during January but hope to later in the year.

  12. You should be proud of your accomplishments! I am very obsessed with the little houses. They are very fun to plan and stitch. That wool stocking is my favorite. If you stick with the plan you are going to be one very satisfied gifter next Christmas.
