WIPocalypse 2017

I know, I know--this blog was silent for six months and suddenly I've started posting every day.  Please don't expect that to continue!  The beginning of a new year has brought the opportunity to set some goals and participate in a few fun things around the guild so I have some extra things to write about.

Measi  has been hosting the WIPocalypse for several years.  This month, she asked participants to introduce themselves and talk about projects and goals for the year.  The duClay Chapter of EGA has a challenge every year and it's a great way to set priorities.  These are my projects for the WIPocalypse and duClay.

1.  Ann Smith by Scarlet Letter--I started this on Super Bowl weekend last year and stitched on it a lot during 2016, but I still have a long way to go.  This will be my focus in 2017.

2.  Sampler Houses by Brenda Keyes-This was a New Year's Day start for a SAL with duClay.
3.  Anniversaries of the Heart by Blackbird Designs-I have completed everything through May.  June and July are nearly done so I feel confident I'll finish the whole piece this year.

4.  Scottish sewing set by Guila Manfredini-One of my classes at Williamsburg.  I already have the scissors sheath and the fob stitched.  There is a thread keep and a sewing roll to stitch as well.

5.  Finishing for Scottish sewing set

6.  Random Thoughts by Drawn Thread-This has been on my to-stitch list for years and I finally started it on Chrstimas Day.

7.  Live, Love and Be Happy by Guild House Samplers-A smallish Quaker sampler

8.  Paris canvas-Something I've had kitted up and ready to go for over a year

OK, I think I'm organized and focused for the year!  I'll be back next week with an update.

  3. I started my first Scarlet Letter design this year and love it so far. Lots to do, and going between over one and over two keeps me on my toes. Hope to see pictures of your samplers as time goes on.
