Stitching Plan for 2009

Every year I make a stitching plan, listing all the projects I have as UFO's, WiPs, or Series projects I'd like to work on over the year. I add or subtract as the year goes on, but it gives me an outline of what my goals are. I would like to finish at least one project from each category or series during the year. Here is the 2009 Plan....I will update thru the year.

  1. As always, I am totally amazed at the amount of stitching you get done & your goals. They are all going to be beautiful. Will you post a pic of Holland close up & the whole part you've stitched so far? Every time I see it, I love it more!

  2. I will put up a pic as soon as I can Carolyn! If you can't wait, go peek in my WiP album on Webshots and you can see my progress there. I need to scroll it to work on the next part, so I'll take a pic of the whole thing then!

  3. Oh my gosh. I'm in awe Kathy. That's a lot of stitching. And I love to see your Holland Landscape appearing on your blog too. I have this one kitted up , but probably order in a different fabric before I start it.
