2015 Stitching! It is always so exciting to start a new year and make plans of what you want to stitch and how you will accomplish it. I am so very lucky to have a group of stitching friends to obsess over this with!!!! Pat came up with the idea to pick five WIPs from our stash and concentrate on finishing each of them this year. So, this past weekend when we were all together I asked everyone to bring their five choices with them so we could have show and tell. What a blast it was!!! I took pictures of everyone's choices and over the next several days I will show them to you! So many great projects!!!!! First up are Linda's choices! I am obsessed with this first choice.
The Birds & The Bees by Carriage House Samplings. It is a amazing!!!!!!!!! Who would ever think that these colors would work, but they sure do!!!!!! I am putting this one on my wish list for sure. Linda makes the best choices for projects. I should just follow her around and stitch exactly what she does!!!!
I wish this picture was not blurry! This is Birds of a Feather by BBD. Another masterpiece! Linda is so close to a finish on this one. Once we finish a project the idea is to rotate another one into the five current WIPs.
As you can imagine, and as you have probably done yourself, we have all amassed quite a stash of stunning charts to be stitched so rotating in the next WIP will be so much fun!
Several of my friends are doing a SAL with The Red Deer Sampler. Here is Linda's progress. I think I am going to be sorry that I did not join them. Really, as I said before, I should just follow Linda's every move!!!!!

Oh thanks for sharing. You are blessed to have stitchy friends there with you! This was a neat idea. I look forward to the next post too. :)
Well, in lieu of seeing your five WIPs, those were great! I have the BBD one in my stash... looks tempting! All are progressing nicely, and will be wonderful when completed! Thanks for sharing... Hugs!
Such lovely WIPs!! Oh this is going to be fun to see! Linda chose some good ones!
So many of these are just stunning -- wonderful patterns and well executed! I do love that one with the bees and the pink. Looks like "Tab can pink" in the picture! But really, do love them all.
Lots of wonderful stitching. I often wish I had a group of friends that stitch. I actually don't know of anyone. That's why I love the blogging!
Wow!! Beautiful projects, all of them!
Linda is a stunningly gifted stitcher and her choices are just what I would have said she would pick out. They speak to who she is, what she likes and admires. Perfect! You are lucky Laura to have a group of friends that support each other in the love of the needle!
Too much fun, Linda's choices are fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! And hree of five are on my list for this year too, Birds and Bees since I already have the frame from Jill Rensel, Red Deer and Sarah Spurr.
What a great group of projects!
