My 2020 Stitching Plans

It is that time, time for me to reveal what my plan for the next year will be.

These are the projects that I have decided on for 2020. It is probably an unrealistic list but I guess that makes it a more interesting (or challenging) list.

Right now I have six pieces that I worked on in the past that I hope to work on in 2020:

Dinosaurs!

Artist - Stephen Michael Gardner

Designer - Flumpkins X Stitchers

First Stitch 01/15/12

Progress as of 09/16/18

As you can see I have been stitching on this one for a VERY LONG time and Jacob (the grandson) has started asking about it again.  I keep moving it from list to list but I think I really need to get busy on it this year! After all I did tell him it would be finished by the time he graduates college and he is in high school now!!

Horrific Halloween

Designer - Stoney Creek 

First Stitch  01/07/19

Last Stitched 09/11/19

I have the first three sections of the six completed. I hope to finish this piece up this year.

Nintendo
Designer - Armada Designs

First Stitch 03/26/18

Progress as of 09/09/18

This one needs lots of love! Mine will have a different layout than the model because I am doing them according to their release date rather than randomly. Right now I would just like at least to finish the layout for the games including their names. I think that is a safer way to do them (knowing me) so that I do not have to entertain the frog.

Pretty Little Chicago

Designer - Satsuma Street

First Stitch 02/11/19

Progress as of 06/02/19

My hometown for 55 years. I miss it a lot but I certainly do NOT miss the weather! I think if I can finish this one up in 2020!

Rose of Sharon
Design Connection

First Stitch 01/10/12

Progress as of 10/27/19

Well here is another long term WIP! It is a little over halfway finished and but I am not sure it will be finished this year either but hopefully some progress may be made on it!

The Enchanted Christmas Snowman
Artist - Dona Gelsinger
Heaven and Earth Designs

This was gifted to me by a good friend in 2018 and I started it right away. It may never be finished and instead make good friends in the WIP Box with Dinosaurs but I hope to at least work on it a bit!

And I am planning to add in these eight new starts for 2020. A couple will be finished off rather quickly but two or three will be long term projects.

A Year of Celebrations
Designer - Hands on Design

I am planning on making this my monthly stitch this year.

Dog Lessons for People

Designer - Lizzie*Kate

A gift from another friend, she also sent the cutest fabric for it;
I just have to make sure it is a big enough piece.

Easter Row
Designer - Bent Creek

I have had this in my stash forever; glad to finally be stitching it up!

Holidays Are Mother's Day!

Designer - Marilyn and Jackie's Collectibles

I will be doing the Easter one this time around.

Quilt Block Sampler

Designer - Stitching the Night Away

This was actually on he 2019 list and well; it didn't get a single stitch put in it!

Shades of Gold

Designer - Northern Expressions Needlework

If you are a regular follower of mine you probably remember that I stitched Shades of Blue a couple of years ago. I also have more Shade charts that I hope to do someday.

The Flower A Day SAL

Designer - Carolyn Manning

I fell in love with this series when I first saw them. I couldn't decide which one to do and asked my daughter. Of course she picked the one with the most flowers on it!

Whiskerkins

Designer - Carolyn Manning

I love these little Bunnies. I plan on stitching the top one first on perforated paper.

Of course this is ALWAYS subject to change (ha ha) once I get started. I have a few others that are waiting in the wings and begging to be but on the q-snaps!

Of course I will be adding more to the list as I think I am planning on joining Rachel's Olympic Challenge. Crazy, right? Adding 17 more pieces to the list but hey you only live once and  everything must get started sooner rather than later! I will post more about those when the time to start that is closer. 

Thanks for stopping by,

and seeing what I hope to

accomplish during the next year.
