New Year , New Trend?

Seriously y'all.  Its true, three weeks in a row!  Perhaps its a new trend?    I contemplated keeping you in suspense until the end of the month, but I'm too excited.  I have some finishes--: o!!

As you've read earlier, I was pushing myself to get last years new year new start completed by the end of January. I've met my goal 20 days early. 

 His Name by Joyful Expressions. Stitched on 14ct Aida "Purple Pansies" Hand Dyed by Stephanie. 

To celebrate I started & completed a secret stitch on Friday Jan 11, which I will have to show you once the recipient has received it.  I doubt seriously that they ready my blog, but better to be safe!  

On Saturday the 12th I had another Start & Finish on a small for my dough bowl.  This was a freebie from Story Piece ( Here ) stitched on a scrap of white using Hand Dyed Jodri April Fools ( I omitted the yellow).  

Because I really want to start filling my bowl I could not stop myself. On Sunday Jan 13 I started 2 more freebies. One more from Story Piece and one from The Work Basket (here)

Needs one more arrow @ bottom

Red is really washed out--very pretty in person

I will be starting a new Love Quilt Square this week as well, which is not due until May 1.  Giving myself plenty of time to get it done!  Speaking of Love Quilts (here), they recently sent out a call for additional quilters. I shared this on Facebook and one of my local friends is about to finish her first quilt for them.   If any of you quilt & would more information regarding volunteering to help bring joy to a sick child,  please click the link above to e-mail Jacki to discuss further.  

I hope you all have  a wonderful stitchy day.  Until next time, Stitch on!    = ) Pam
