It has been good to get a few more UFO's out of the way this year. Many thanks to Deanna for organising this again. I have found the monthly challenge a great help. So here is a round up of what I have achieved.
January - this was a Sue Hawkins kit given to me by a friend at my quilt group. She had started it and given up, but knew I would love to do it. Which I did.
February - was the embroidered rabbit that I had been planning to make for some time.
The March challenge was to make a Retreat Bag but once again this one went on hold (next years list possibly) and I made this crochet cardigan instead.
I thought this would be useful for chillier days over the summer. Humph, what chillier days! I didn't wear this or any other cardigan as we had such a hot summer. Oh well, it's there ready for next year.
April was snap top bags and I made these (very) early Christmas presents which have been sitting on top of the wardrobe ever since waiting to be filled.
The May challenge was to use some eco printed fabric but that went by the wayside when I started on a crochet bag to hold my crochet/knitting projects.
I also basted a load of hexagons in preparation for #5.
In June I worked with my rusty fabric and added to my rusty scroll.
I also made a good start on this picture which got me a first at the local Flower and Produce in August.
Not easy to get a picture without reflection or shadows so here is one pre framing.
In July I worked on my swap hexagons. This is now ready for straightening up and finishing next year.
August saw me working on small flower embroideries to fill some gold oval frames I bought at a brocante in France some years ago.
And finally in September this little embroidered kit.
October was a failure as my final challenge is on hold until I can sort out some sashing fabric - it might be on next years list!
Anyway, a profitable year and I am glad to have joined in again.
All these projects are wonderful. I think my favourite one is the flowers in the frames. You had a very productive year. Bravo! May next year be just as productive. ;^)
