January Theme-a-Licious

This month's theme (from It's Geek to Me's past monthly themes) was January Jardin.  This means I chose a focus piece that had a garden or floral theme.  So I chose to work on my Baby's Garden Quilt kit by Janlynn.  Here's my progress:

Next month's theme is Figural February.

January 2016 WIPocalypse Check-In

Topic:  Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

Hello, my name is Jaret.  I love cross stitching a variety of topics and themes.  Really, it's whatever catches my eye at the moment.  I do have a 10-hour rotation that I sort of follow, but I veer off a whole lot when something shiny catches my eye.  (That's probably why I don't ever seem to finish anything!)

This month, I am currently rotating between Tepee Bears by Bucilla, Mr. Bear by Designs by the Needle, Sugarplum Stocking by Bucilla, Nutcracker Needlepoint by Janlynn, Blue Jean Teddy Quilt by Bucilla, and Christmas By the Letter by Lizzie Kate.  My focus project this month is Baby's Garden Quilt by Janlynn.

Rotations Ended

My laptop's motherboard went kapooey and needed to spend some time at the local repair shop.  Just got it back a few days ago and I'm trying to catch up with all of my online groups and stuff.  I did finish a few 10 hour rotations before year's end and finished a project.  Woo hoo!
