January Finishes for Q4OAC

In January I finished and shipped off the three pieces below to Q4OAC Yahoo group.  I still have two more to finish by April 15th.   The Floral Teacup was a freebie found here.   It was one I started last year for the Crazy January Challenge honoring SoCal Debbie. To fit the size requirements for the quilt I have to eliminate the word at the top of the pattern.

SoCal Debbie UCJC Starts #57, #58 and #59

I have made it to the finish line, I have made my 59 new starts for the year in honor of SoCal Debbie, a lady who loved cross stitch and loved to blog about it.  My last three starts have been so much fun that I found to more to add to the list over the weekend. Monday will definitely be my drop dead no more starts day.  I have 5 pieces to stitch for Q4OAC, three are due in April. The rest I can take my time and finish as time allows.  I also need to get back to my card making and basket weaving.  Plan on posting a few more freebies in the coming weeks.  This challenge and SFS has given me a chance to go through my stitching stuff and I have some things that need new homes.

I recently joined a new cross stitch group, The Sampler Life, which has a monthly small SAL. The current SAL started in January and had 223 members participating.   This looks like a great group, very active, members from all over the globe, and lots of stitching going on.  With all that being said I have two more starts to add to the list, I plan finish up with 61 pieces for this challenge. 



Enjoy!!
