Stitch From Stash -January

Stitch from Stash Report for January-
 Amount allowed to be spent for the year $300.00
 Christmas GC $50.00
Total= $350.00
Spent this month 0.00
This month was easy- I have been working on two WIP's-
The Quiltmaker and Pretty Pumpkins.

Here is The Quiltmaker- I've added a few more stitches but haven't been able to take any 
more pictures.

The cross stitches for Pretty Pumpkins are done, I just have to do the back stitching. My plan is to work on The Quiltmaker Monday-Wednesday and Pretty Pumpkins on Thursday. I have also finished the cross stitches on Christmas Spirit- but I've put it in a scroll frame to do the back stitching and to add all the beads- so I don't have any current pictures of it.

      I think that this Stitch from Stash might just backfire- as I look at other blogs I see so many things I'd like to stitch.....

Stitch From Stash 2014

I have joined my first SAL with Mel from Epic Stitching- Stitch from Stash 2014. The idea is to stitch with what you have already. There is a monthly goal of not spending more than $25. I like the idea of being able to spend a little for floss, beads, etc. to finish a project- rather than to be strict about not spending any money. There are 130 people in the group- Mel will certainly be busy keeping up with everyone. I joined for two reasons- first I had some unexpected expenses this past year and need to save money this year. Second I want to be a better blogger- spend more time working on my blog- learning how to do things. My first challenge- putting the Stitch from Stash button on my blog- thanks to Karen at Sew Many Ways I did it. I will post later about my stitching goals this year- when I've had a chance to take some pictures.
