Finished 2012!


Ahh the last Finish Along with Rhonda at the Gap...  Thank you Rhonda, you've done an awesome job.  I shall be playing along again next year, joining in with Leanne too!
A massive effort was put in to make this final quarter a better, more successful finish along effort.  Well, third quarter and no finishes was just pitiful!  So, this post will be a quick list review (and blatant excuse for putting lots of pretty pictures on my first 2013 blog post).
Original post here...

1. The Mouthy Stitches Triangles Tote.


2.  The specials panels - FAIL...  still sitting in the WIP box...
3.  Sirrius  -  This is a finish, but its a finish for mum so if this entry wins anythin I promise cross my heart it will go to mum!


4.  Soda pop.  Dammit this is a finish... there was nothing in the rules concerning what quality or standard of finish was required, and it IS a finished quilt, just not a very good one, it just has bits that are going to need fixed....


5.  the Embroidery rolls - FAIL.  What's more, they're never going to happen.  Well, I love mine, but there are so many other patterns out there and looking at them I'd choose to make them over mine any day so, no, not gonna.
6.  EPP cushion.  Done, sent, recieved and I do believe liked!


7.  Supercute girly cushion for besties wee angel, done :-)  Girly enough for you?!


8.  The last mini.  Done.  Nuff said. 


What a shame I stupidly said
                 "And I have my own Stained II to finish but I'm not putting it on the list cos that seems to jinx                                it..."
Cos its done and now I cant include it...  Oh well, I am still relieved to have finished it.  

Six out of Eight!  That'll do pig, that'll do.

    6 out of 8 is fantastic, and they are all amazing finishes. Need to go and revisit my "wish list" and see what I did

    Six out of eight - well done! *clapping and cheering* Pity you can't go back and amend your Q4 post to include Stained II ;o) I honestly can't see me finishing anything this year, not anything larger than a pin cushion, anyway!

    Great list. And lots of lovely things too. Not sure which is my favourite. But I do really like the colours in your EPP cushion

    Hi, Sarah. Impressive post to start 2013. All your projects are beautiful, even the one you claim is poorly finished--it's got such a neat design. I'm in love with your purses. Also enjoyed seeing your stained glass quilt in the previous post and all the different versions of it. And may the new year bring you many more stitching adventures that get finished!
    best, nadia

    You've got some really sewing there, even if it's not all finished. I love the way you combine colours in your projects. Happy New Year!
