Favorite designer of 2020! Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has asked those of us linking up for People’s Choice to share the favorite designer we stitched in 2020. Friends, for me it just has to be The Drawn Thread! I stitched so much in 2020 but the piece I just really loved stitching the most was …
Last start of 2020, first start of 2021
On December 31st I made one very last new start for 2020. This is Token of Love by Samplers Not Forgotten. I fell in love with this Nashville kit and had to have it. I was planning to start it all year and never got to it. Well look! After all I did start it …

2020 End of Year Summary
What a year it has been! I will reflect on it more as I go, but truly, I have had a really good stitching year! 43! Yes OVER FORTY finishes! That is 43 projects for which the stitching is finished! Now a few of them were started before this year, but still finishing off that …
Last Finishes of the Year and New Starts
Many stitchers, I know, try to finish up a few last projects at the end of the year. Count me among them, I too had to wrap up a few loose ends! First is an ornament I stitched WAY earlier in the year, this little mitten from Mill Hill. This one was started by my …

Decision Time
I’m determined to get one of my stitches done before Christmas and it’s time to decide which I will focus on. It’s going to be… Cozy Into Winter. I just have to finish the colored diamonds on the border and the specialty stitch bands. I can get that done amid the wrapping, baking, Christmas letters, …
December 2020 FFOs
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the last Fully Finished Object Gallery of 2020! I was not sure I could get any of my pieces FFO’d this month so anything counts as a triumph! First, of course I HAD to do my daughter’s rocking horse ornament. Here it is on the …
The People Choose
Stitching Disasters! I am linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for the final “Let the People Choose” of 2020. It is a tragi-comic theme this month…stitching disasters! I liked the questionnaire Jo included and it was fun to fill out. Stitching disasters are always horrifying in the moment, but for me, most of them …
Progress report
I have a little report this week on my two December stitches. Here is Deerfield. I’m still loving this one. And here is Cozy Into Winter. I am not enthusiastic about the satin stitch stars. I will have to do a little at a time with them because they are not very fun. I hate …
