Turtle Trot – January 2014

It’s time for the first Turtle Trot check-in of the year. I actually had a really hard time deciding which projects to focus on. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I like to jump around quite a bit. And, other than my ornament of the month, I really don’t get very much finished. This year I really, really want to get some bigger projects completed. So, I went through my WIPs with an eye towards picking projects that 1) I really would like to have done and 2) have some significant progress already made on them.

Here’s the list I ended up with. (Pictures are below.)

  1. Torah Stitch By Stitch
  2. Santa’s Journey Stocking by Dimensions
  3. 12 Days of Christmas by Victoria Sampler
  4. Tradewinds by Teresa Wentzler
  5. Down the Garden Path by Lynn Nicoletti
  6. Chinese Dragon by Pinn Stitch
  7. Namaste by Ink Circles
  8. Jim Shore Monogram birth sampler from Mill Hill
  9. Into the Deep by Passione Ricamo
  10. You Add Magic… by Dragon Dreams

I don’t expect to be able to finish all of them, but it is my goal to complete at least numbers 1-3. Wish me luck!
