Something to Stitch About 2018 Goals

So, last year I decided to set a goal to tackle my overflowing embroidery and cross-stitch projects thus Something to Stitch About was born. I have to say it really helped motivate me to finish the projects that I’ve had crammed away and I was surprised by how many projects I finished. I’ve decided that I’m going to keep with it in 2018 and expand it a bit to include some of the sewing projects that I want to get done as well.

Embroidery/Cross Stitch Goals: I’m aiming for 5-10 projects. Some I know that I need to work on, others I’ll probably just end up grabbing out of my stash.

 

For Cross Stitch I want to finish the following

1-    Cornish Folkies Cross Stitch (a.k.a. Poldark cross stitch)

2-    Jane Eyre Cross Stitch

3-    Outlander Cross Stitch sampler

4-    Gift Project 1

5-    Tea Sampler

 

For Embroidery I want to finish the following

1.     Winter table runner (I started this project in 2017 and the thread I need to finish it is on backorder, so hopefully the company will have it in soon)

2.     Frosty Memories lap quilt

 

Sewing Goal: I'm aiming for 5-10 projects.

 

1—Renaissance Outfit—this one is nearly finished. I just need to find the right material for the front panel, sleeves, and bodice. Then finish making minor adjustments to the hem and such.

2—Rag Quilt—so this one is going to be something new for me. I have all the materials need washed, sorted, and waiting to be cut.

3—Outlander quilt panel—so I have no idea what I’m going to do with this one. I’ve been gathering ideas but nothings struck my fancy so we shall see.

4—Small Clutch x 2—so one is going to serve as a catchall in my new Outlander handbag and the other is going to be for my Outlander gloves so I don’t end up losing them when I’m out and about (you wouldn’t believe how many gloves I’ve lost over the last few winters).

5—Sleep masks and aromatherapy heating bags.

6—Mug rugs—because they’re adorable and I have a ton of fat quarters that I’ve been hoarding.
