2015 Ornament

Here is the picture of the ornament that Jackie designed for us. 

 

 

 

Jackie Said that when her son was toddler that they always had to feed Santa's Reindeer too.  So for our ornament she created a pouch to hold greens and a bottle of oats mixed with glitter.  The pouch is all hand finished and has a self lining and backing finishing technique.  It is worked with cross and tent stitches over one fabric thread.


The cost of the kit is $25.00 and shipping will be $7.00.

Swan Stitching Goals 2014 addition!

Here is another great post for 2014

 

It is Santa's Magic  stitched by Sandra Ball

 

Let us know if you finished some on your list.

 

Here is one of Carolyn's finishes. It was not sent in on a list but we thought that you would enjoy the story behind it. When she picked it back up this year to stitch on it, she found a paper in the bag with 1999 on it. So it was started about then or before. So take heart and know that it is never too late to work on and finish those "Works in progress".

Swan Stitching Goals 2014

This is the time of year that tradition dictates that we make New Years Resolutions. Most of us keep those goals for about a day or perhaps a couple of months. We have received some ambitious lists for 2015 and it will be so much fun to see just how far they can go. So whether or not you sent us your list or even wrote one down for yourself, here's to lots of stitching and perhaps even some finished projects in the next year.

 

Several of our members were able to make stitching goals for 2014 and finished several of their pieces.

 

Barbara Martin finished 3 projects.

 

They are: a Christmas Sampler Stocking by Mary Beale

Boxed Blue Iris Sampler by Barbara Rakosnik

and a Biscornu that was not on the list but is a great design.

JoAnn Jackson finished two.

Stitcherie Challenge Heart

Ice Queen's Dilemma

I am sure that there are plenty of other finished projects out there. We would love to have you share then with us.
