Because 12 of them are smallish, I will also try to finish my Mermaid Etui and smalls from Victoria Samper, and start the Virgo Quaker from Wiehenburg. I will start a mystery sampler at the Oatlands meeting in January, and also plan to have that finished by the end of the year.

The ones I am least sure about finishing are the Mermaid - I have already run out of one thread and can't find it. That will be my January Quest!

The other dubious finish is the Virgo Quaker. I love Martina's designs, but always seem to get bogged down in them because some motif or another isn't quite right (usually the border ones ... after I have stitched too much to go back and rip out.). I just re-read this ... it isn't Martina's chart that is the problem, but my stitching. Tho't I should clarify.

Happy New Year - May 2011 bring you much happiness, good health, and lots to stitch.
