2011 Goals

I normally don't make resolutions, but I would like to set a few stitching goals for myself. There are a few things I would really like to finish this year.

1. Shores at Hawk Run Hollow

Shores as of 12/29/10

I only have 3 1/2 blocks to go! I think I'm going to focus on it until it's finished!

2. Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost as 4/2/10

I'm fairly close to being finished - I just need to do it already! I'll make it my focus after Shores is finished.

3. Anniversaries of the Heart

Anniversaries of the Heart as of 11/13/10

Love this project - I don't want it to become a UFO!

4. Sarah Woodham

Sarah Woodham

This sampler is just too gorgeous not to get finished!!

5. Ruth Bacheler

Another gorgeous repro sampler. Definitely want to get back to Ruthie sometime this year.

6. CHS Alphabet

CHS Alphabet

This is such a fun design and the blocks go so quickly, there is really no reason not to get it finished this year.

I must also add my two new starts... Frances Eden and Elizabeth Mears. I really hope to get them all finished this year. Not sure if I can actually do it, but I'm going to try!!

  19. You are soooo close on Shores and PL - you will get them finished up in no time. I am hoping to start Elizabeth myself - my chart and linen arrived on Friday and I am cracking under the pressure of Frances Eden after seeing that so many are starting it this year. Many happy stitches to you! Melody

  30. Hi there.. I've stumbled across your blog while bloghopping.. Love you WIPs... such beautiful designs!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nicole, great set of goals! I love all of these!! I have a question, the alphabet blocks from carriage house designs...are they all in one chart, or did you have to buy them as individuals? I think they are so cute... I also especially like the Sarah Woodham sampler..it's so beautiful.

    good luck! I'm sure you'll get there.

  32. Melody,

    They have them as one chart now (http://www.wyndhamneedleworks.com/Carriage_House_Samplings/alphabet_blocks_the_whole_kit_.htm), but I had the individual charts before they put them together.
