This month, we are supposed to "Recap accomplishments for the year! (finishes, final before/after photos, etc)". HMMM... That means I need to check back through the year and see what happened as far as stitchery is concerned and that isn't an easy task. I don't think I will try to link back to past posts but just list what I worked on, what is still being worked on and what I hope to work on next year... However, if you click on Wipocalypse in the side bar of my blog first page (Categories), you can call up all my WIPocalypse postings which do provide links if you are that ambitious that you would want to see them...
Finishes were (not necessarily in order of finish):
Eight pieces were framed for fair submittals in 2013 (these won five first place ribbons, 2 second place ribbons, one third place ribbon and one honorable mention - this last was not framed) three more framed for a gift (1) and for 2014 fair submittal (2 so far).
Started but unfinished:
Waiting in the wings ( for which I have all the written material but haven't even started to think about) are:
In addition, there are the 2014 series of Crazy Quit Journal blocks and the 2014 Bead Journal Project pieces as well.
And I want to do a few more Christmas ornaments (this year, I used two trees to display my stitched ornaments because there were too many for the one, but there aren't enough to fill two so...)
