Just wanted to put this up on my "regular" blog.......This is the latest pick for our smalls project in the 2012 Year of Smalls.  It is Garden of Love by Citrouille's Designs.  This is the kitted up version from Inspired Needle.  So cute!  Here is a link to the 2012 Year of Smalls blog in case you want to see what it is all about!

Teresa's 12

 Here are Teresa's 12!!!!!  First up is Holiday Rules by Lizzie Kate.  I have loved this for so long!  I really should do it sometime.  The colors are just so very wonderful. 

 Here is the Abigail Moody pincushion.  Teresa and I started a SAL on this project awhile ago (months?  years?); but we are really going to stitch it this time!

 All Hallow's Eve by Chessie and Me.  Another fab pick!

 Anniversaries of the Heart!!!!!!!!  In true Teresa fashion she is planning on stitching one block a month.  Which is totally doable.  But we never do it, do we?  I hope she does because I really want to do this one to and I need a leader!

 At Home with Jane Austen by The Sampler Girl!!!  I LOVE this!  Definitely putting it on my to do list.  Totally fab in every way.

 Jardin Prive......wow!  Talk about great colors!

 December Cottage by Little House Needleworks.

 Sleigh Bird by Little by Little.  He is so dear!!

 Here is a little snowman ornament from the current JCS Christmas ornament edition.

 A Stitcher's Companion by BBD.  Love, love, love this.  I want to do it in exactly the same fabric and fibers.  I do believe that Teresa told me that this is the called for thread too.

Count Your Blessings by La-D-Da.

These are all such great projects!  Great picks T!!!!

Barb's 12

Barb started her 12 project a little before the rest of and her challenge was to go back to older WIPs.  She has some gems in this collection!!!  First up is this darling BOAF snow man!!! On beautiful green linen.
Next we have a trio of Shepard's Bush charts that will be stitched up to perfection.   Mistletoe, Pine and Juniper.  I love those names!

 Oh this is stunning!!! Quaker Diamond by Hillside Samplings.

 How sweet!!!  Gather Thy Roses by Chessie and Me.  I love this one.

 Angels Unawares by Twisted Threads.  I love, love, love this one!

Here is a design by Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks that was in a magazine.  The chart is called Joy in the Journey.  Below is a picture of the magazine that this design is....get ready....go stash diving!

 Another dear BOAF chart.......

 This is Blackberie Sampler by Shepard's Bush. 

 Snow Child by Shepard's Bush.

This is Winter's Whisper Sampler by Saly Ann Designs.  This takes me breath away.  Such subtle beauty!!!!!! 

As always, Barb is working on such gorgeous projects!!!!  Gorgeous!

Pat's WIPs

 Here are Pat's WIPs!!!!  You will note that there are only ten.  Somehow we missed one!  and the other one I did not display because it is an upcoming project for our year of smalls and I don't want to give away any surprises....you will have to wait for October for that one!!!


Above is a project that we called our Summer Project.  Yes, as we dither over everything, we usually pick a project for each season.  (In true fashion I have finished none of them!).  Anyway, above is Basket of Flowers Pinkeep by Stacy Nash Primitives.  I know Pat changed her colors.  She is a queen of conversions.  She actually gets a charge out of converting projects for us. 

 Here is Basket of Memories by BBD.  I am in love with the Aged Pewter thread.  The whole project is just so gorgeous.

 Christmas Garden by BBD.  Amazing.

 I want to stitch this one!!!!!  It is by Jardin Prive and the stitching with that thread color on that fabric is so sweet!!

 I think this was our first group project pick.  Pat is going to stitch her with Elegant Eggplant and it is going to be amazing!

 Joyeux Noel by BBD.....we could have a stitch along with this one.......it is in my 12 too.

 Summer, Autumn ,Winter Loose Feathers by BBD. 

 Pink Snowman by Shepard's Bush.
