Looking Towards 2013


Here is the latest on my 2012 Advent Exchange with Lorrie of A Stitcher's Snippets-
Day 9 is a cute little handmade needlecase (with 2 pins) that matches my mug rugs and drawstring bag!
Day 10 is a little Modern Prisicilla box kit
Day 11 is a beautiful pin pillow and pins made by Blue Ribbons Designs!

And another finish, too!


Sheepish Designs
Alpha Trio
Crazy January Challenge #3-5


I have 2 new starts.  I know what you are thinking-2 new starts at the end of the year??!!  What is Teresa thinking? 
 
Well, I needed a project that I could see without my magnifier to work on away from home.  So I started Birds of A Feather Soweth Sampler. And the Gardener's Alphabet quilt has been calling my name so loudly, I couldn't ignore it anymore!


I have been making a list and checking it twice!  LOL
Yes, 2013 will be here soon and I want to be ready!
Here are 2 WIP's that I want to complete next year-
Left-Betsy Morgans Helix Etui-can't see anywork on it? There are about 4 inches along the right border is all!  A lot of work to do here!
Right-L'Atelier Perdu's 2012 Mystery Sampler that is so adorable and so neglected!  Definitely want to finish this one.



And I've been kitting up new big projects too!

oooh you have me drooling at the mouth - i want everything you have there, they all look so delicious - and i love the way you have them all set up ready to go - love love your sheepish designs finish, is that stitched in silk? the colours look so bright and shiny from here - okay enough slobbering from me - you have some great new projects and look forward to seeing them come to life, and i'm only just a little, teeny wee bit jealous : ]

The Alpha sampler is beautiful!

Your new finishes are wonderful. I can't wait to see how your new things will turn out. I'm experimenting with 40 ct. linen to see if my old eyes will let me use that count. So far I have pretty much used 32ct. After that is determined , I'll plan my stitching.

You are very ambitious! I have my 2013 stitching plans in my brain. Love seeing all your projects.

That are some fantastic projects there!
I ordered Christmas at hollyberry farm and the threads it asks for. Now that I see the mulberry I find it too brownish for the Christmas red that I thought it would be, how do you feel about it? Do you plan on using mulberry or are you thinking about a substitute?
