Day 11

So I started Day 11 @ 11:40 PM.  Here's what I did in those 20 mins (and then some into Day 12).

I substituted my Snowflakes for this free hummingbird pattern by Teresa Wetzler.  This will be my first project with 1 over 1. (The hummingbird will be 1 over 1, the rest of the project is 2 over 2).  As you can see, this will be a tiny project.  I'm thinking of giving it to my sister for her birthday.  I have until April!
Better head off to bed.  I have to play keyboard for our Ladies' Bible Study.  Don't want to be falling asleep at the keyboard! :)

Happy Stitching.

P.S. I posted my picture for Day 10 as well.

2012 WIPocalypse List

Here is my list for 2012:

1) Baby Sampler for Alex (#3 child)

2) Spring Angel (Lavender & Lace)

3) Winter Angel (L & L)

4) Angel of Love (L & L)

5) Easter Egg Sampler (The Drawn Thread)

6) Summer Afternoon (Chatelaine)

7) June 2011 Mira (Angel Proclamation)

Of course there is my Crazy2012 list and I will add those projects after January as I will try to finish many of the small ones before February.  Then I can focus on my larger projects like my angels and my son's cross stitch which is pretty much done except for the all the backstitching.

WIPocalypse 2012

I meant to post this on Monday, as that was the full moon.  But here is what I've been working on this month:

 This is my Mira cross stitch that will be circulating the globe in 2012.  I'm finishing up my Lady, Rose Arbour and the diamonds and Algerian eyelets.  I have a lot to finish up before she goes out next week.  Wish me luck!

Here's a close up of Rose Arbour and the trellis at the top:

 

The trellis is from Garden Beauty.  I thought it would be fun to incorporate it into my Roses theme for this Mira RR.

Just for fun, here is my first Mira that I sent out last June.  I haven't finished my square yet, but will get it done this year (of course!):

The angels are from Nora Corbett's Angel Proclamation pattern.  I look forward to finishing this!  :)

Days 7, 8, 9 and 10

It was so nice to have a few days completed in the Challenge.  Now I've got four more days under my belt.  I am happy with the progress.  Here's what I've been working on:

Day 7/8:

Here's the pattern I used for my project.  I adapted it for my project as I am going to sew this into a Christmas Memory Quilt of my family.  Each child of ours will have their own tree with a picture of themselves.  Here are my daughter's and my two sons' trees (#7 and #8):

Lauren's tree

Sebastien's tree (#7)

Alexander's tree (#8)

Day 9: 

Day 10 is the companion ornament to this one.    Here's what it will look like when it's finished:

And here's how it looks now:

Not the best photo quality, oh well!

 Happy Stitching Everyone!

First Three days complete!

So since I finished Days 4, 5 and 6, I have a few days to catch up on my RRs.  Here are pics of my first three days' projects.  I'm really excited to get these done as I found a new quilt shop which happens to be next to the new location of the music studio that I teach at.  Fancy that! :)  Dear hubby told me I need to park on the other side of the building so I can't see the shop.  Yeah right!  Like that will stop me when I walk to the front door of the music studio. 

Here's Day 1 before I started.

 And here's how much I got done.


Day 2:  I chose this border for my second quilt square.  I am only doing the inner part of the border (so no pinwheels in the corner)

Here's my block before:

And after:

Day 3:

This one will be a challenge as the pattern I chose is not a border but a band from a Christmas stocking.  I chose it because it has miniature Christmas trees.  I will put something in the corners and then have the trees following along the rest of the sides.  It should work out after I graph it.


Enjoy the pictures.  Back to organizing my projects for the WIPacolypse. 

Finishes!

I'm happy to report that I've completed three out of my 15 JanuaryCrazy List.  They are #s 4, 5 & 6.  Here is a picture of my mini stockings.  (I can finally pack them away with the rest of the Christmas ornaments!) :)

Project #1

So here's a picture of the ivy pattern that I will stitch around my quilt square.

And here is the quilt square.  There are a few stitches done (I had started with different shades of green and decided to take them out and match the greens with the center piece.  I left the red berries as I am not changing the reds.  I haven't quite figured out how I will stitch the corners.  I'm sure I will think of something as it comes together.  :)
