2013 The Year in Review

Television viewers are being inundated with year in review stories.  With two remaining days in 2013, it is time to recap needlework projects at Thistle Manor.  As I was sorting the photos, I was hoping there were more finishes to share.  Will start with the rug hooking.

Thanks to the help of my friend, Jan Adams, the flag rug finally became a reality.  Let's don't talk about the length of time, this project languished in the stitching bag.  No the whale rug is not finished, a goal for 2014.

All My Scattering Moments by Goode Huswife. 

Bees Blessing

Not pictured, but also finished and framed Adam and Eve by La D Da, Mehitable Wright by Pineberry Lane, Lydia Emaline by Pineberry Lane and the Bessie Shults memorial sampler.  Another goal for 2014, more stitching.

In my goal to reduce my fabric stash, the sewing machine was humming.  This is Flying Geese.


My favorite finish, a Jo Morton HST pinterest project.

Pottery Shards another Jo Morton

Jo Morton's Broken Dishes

Rasberry Swirls or Goose Tracks, yes another Jo Morton

Susie's Nine Patch

Table runner projects, made using the binding tool.

Cathy, the long armed quilter made the runners extra special with her quilting.

Pink! Pepto! 5" charm square's

Time for some rationalization:  I pulled a million weeds, canned tomato juice and made apple butter!  On New Year's Day, if I am brave enough and can find my courage, I will face the unifinished projects of 2013.
