(let's gloss over our non achievements).
[waffle waffle] But we do have a month to go!!!
De proposed a Sunday Stitchers UFO Challenge for the year. Most of us created a list of 12 things that we wanted to "get done" - it didn't have to be a finish - it could be as simple as "work on XXXX"
Most of us have joined in enthusiastically and even if we didn't always do what ever it was that we were "supposed" to do - we all celebrated our achievements.
I am pretty happy with my progress - December's number is 11 and I am almost guaranteed to have that one finished by our next meeting. So, I have one failure...#5.... It might go on next year's list - or maybe I will get it done over the Christmas break....we will have to wait & see.
November's number was 6 - this is my Mrs Beasley's Sampler - which as some of you know was a very long drawn out story...I started this about January 2014 and was finally able to start the 4th block in January 2017.
Now its quilted (lightly) and I can say "It's Done"...yay
and some close ups - I ditched most of the blocks
and then added some machine embroidery
I used a feather stitch on my machine to applique the dresden plates
The colours are so soft & pretty - I'm glad to have it done and although it was very disappointing to have to wait for so long to get the rest of the pattern (and there was no communication to explain or apologise)...I do love it.
