I did manage to work on the dragon last night, but forgot to take pictures. Will do tomorrow :)
How many of you plan for the following year, stitching wise? I normally don't do too much planing, other than a bucket list of patterns I want to do... which seems to keep GROWING!
A group of us in my stitching group like to do a January 1st start each year. This year is was the
seasonal mandalas from Ink Circles. I finished mine in August.
This year we wanted to go with something a little smaller for a few reasons. We decided in September to do the Maple Leaf by Alessandra Adelaide.
A few months early,
Dani and
Christin were talking about doing another Teresa Wentzler. I had started the castle but thought it might be fun to join in with them. After much discussion they (maybe us?) decided on Fortunate Traveler. Beatrice has also decided to join us. I asked that we waited a bit in 2013 to start due to tax season for me. Being the great ladies they are, we agreed on a May 1'13 start.
Have you ever done a TW? She sure likes her blended colours. For one idea on how to deal with these, check out
Christin's Blog today. She has a demo on how she does a needle roll to deal with all the blended needles. I am going to try this route for this BAP and see what I think.
Are you a facebook user? if you are
add me :) I am on ALL THE TIME!
Anyway, I belong to a group of stitching called the
Superstar Serial Starters and Devine Disaplined Divas, and their sister group the
Stitchalong. Talk about a bunch of enablers!!!
Genie is our group Mom, and she does a wonderful job of keeping the group in line and away from posts that cause fights (religion, politics etc). Be warned, there is some non-stitching talk but normally not much. Some days you might see a bunch of half naked men though. Well this little group (over 1,000 members) has been on a role with creating SAL's for next year and into 2014!!! I have thought about many, but have only decided to sign up for a few....so far
On January 1st I am also going to start the Sampler Game Board by Drawn Thread.
Kathy and Beatrice are also doing this one as well.
On March 1st I am also going to start Belle Letters by GigiR Designs (Letter B). I have not decided who thread of fabric I am going to use yet.
There was a ton more that have interested me, but I think I am going to limit it at this for the time being!
I still am working toward getting Blair's Dragon done by Christmas, so hopefully my WIP's will still dwindle down as I add to them!
What are your plans for 2013?
