Once a UFO, now a Happy Dance!

I started this project way back in 2002, and it was a UFO for several years before I finally got it back out last year and vowed to complete it! It is the Dragon Feathers Afghan by Fanta Cat Designs, stitched on black Anne cloth. Last night I finished hemming the edges and fringing them and am Happy Dancing like mad! Click on the pic to see it better.

Dragon Feathers progress...

The rotation is working...got around to the Dragon Feathers afghan again, finishing another block. Now only three left, plus the edge finishing. The end is in sight! Started another biscornu by Sweetheart Tree this time. Castles in the Air is up after that.

Wrapping up 2009...ornies, a dragon and more!

Just a couple of days late on wrapping up my 2009 stitching year! First, I stitched a couple of Mary Englebreit mini kits that Santa brought....Topiary Wreath and Christmas Wreath... on Dec. 30th and 31st.




Then, a progress report on my Dragon Feathers Afghan (rescued from UFO status in December)
I only have four more blocks to go!


Finally, a recap of the year in stitching! 40 total finishes, 2 being former UFOs!
