2008 Wrap-up - What did you finish this year?

This is awful, I can't really remember. I did a biscournu for Bobbie V. I did that Tinkerbelle bookmark for DD's former BFF, I finished the TeddyBear Paper Dolls

I know I did finish other things, I just can't recall them.

-Woodland Babies - Linda K. Powell

-Bird House Hot Plate and Hummingbird Trivet- M.C.G. Textiles

-various designs from DMC mini chart booklets, include using 2 square designs in extra hummingbird trivets

-flowered "Love" bookmark that I changed to read friend's name

-various Plaid mini frame kits [flowers or xmas] from Bucilla

-some of The Gold Collection petites from Dimensions

-and to round it out also some mini motifs for more practice

-rest of time designed some patterns and tried them out.

So, now I don't feel so bad! I finished "Motif Madness" by Debbee's Designs

- once, but then had to restitch a lot of it from the class handling it so much - so it's like a half=finish.

A couple of Little House pieces - Ye Olde Coffee Shop, and the companion piece

Victoria Sampler "Herb Sachet" - Rosemary Elizabeth's Designs "Bee Kind" - I should put up a pic

A couple of small baby things

Does it count if I finished starting a bunch of things?

The next questions to ask are: What did you start in 2008 - that you're carrying over into 2009

What do you plan (operative word) to complete in 2009? AND....Do you have a plan, method, technique for attacking the UFO/WIPs in

New projects you've saved to start in the new year?

I'm not planning ahead! My only goal right now is to finish another (somewhat different colors) version of the Proposal Pillow for a friend's wedding in April. I can't afford to think about doing anything other than that-- if I get distracted, I'll never make it ;-) I do have a memorial piece for someone that is mostly done that will get finished next. But I'm not thinking about that ;-)

Best wishes, Ericka

I finished stitching 6 (well, 12 if you count both sides) of the Carol Emmer stuffed nativity pieces I've been working on. Haven't stitched them together and stuffed them, though.

I also finished (but have finished-finished) stitching "Chill", a pic of a St. Bernard I mentioned in another post. Since that was supposed to be a Christmas gift, I'm hoping to get it *done* this weekend.

I guess I also stitched a couple of the Sweetheart Tree's Teeny Tweenies as a break from my nativity pieces

I finally got around to taking pictures -- must've inherited my father's bad photographer gene -- I don't cut off heads but things are rarely straight.

Recent and not so recent finishes can be seen at:

Well, it was really instant, but I have FIOS. Your work is stunning, as always.

I love the idea of putting the glitter paper behind the congress cloth on the fan. And the middle pillow, with the crewel work in a patchwork setting really stood out to me- I guess it's my taste.

The Di V NK pieces - I think the first one is what the shop offered as the more advanced SRE class - well, it's one or the other of them. Definitely worth the preprinted fabric.

Gorgeous - everything. Thanks so much for sharing.

Ellice - who finished all the tiny Jessicas last night, and got them filled with 1/16 ribbon/

That's one of the reasons I keep a database of my stuff. I'm aways forgetting.

Whew - I know I stitch a lot, but even I'm surprised.

Canadian Primitive (Charland),,

Can you post a link to this one?

I checked her website

You are prolific! Congrats on all the finishes.
