January Theme: Introduce Yourself!
I'm JoAnna, and I live in southeastern Pennsylvania. I've been stitching since I was a kid, and I am a chronic start-aholic. I am constantly starting projects and rarely finishing them. This is why I LOVE the WIPocalypse! I participated in both the 2012 and 2013 WIPocalypse challenges, however, my participation in 2013 tapered off after the summer when school and life got in the way. This year, I am re-newing my commitment to participate, yay!
Right now, I have four major projects in the works. I do not expect to finish all four this year, but I expect to finish two and get the other two much closer to completion. The first is a project for a dear friend of mine who, due to illness, can only stitch sporadically and asked for some help in finishing this project up. I expect to finish this project THIS month...I hope? I will post a picture of it when it is done.
The second is L&L's Celtic Summer. I am almost done with this piece, and hope to finish it sometime this Spring or early summer. Here is a picture of where I'm at right now:
The third and fourth are both being continued from the 2013 WIPocalypse. They are Celtic Spring and Sweet Dreams, both by L&L. Here are current pix of my progress:
That's it for now. Looking forward to a year of stitching in 2014! -JoAnna
Beautiful work! I love L & L stuff, but I've never done one. (PS. Southeast PA is the best. Philly suburban woman here!)

Pretty pieces. Good luck on your progress!
ReplyDeleteYou stopped by my blog so I just had to see what you were working on. Beautiful projects! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One of my favorite parts of the WIPocalypse has been checking out everyone else's work. It's so much fun!
DeleteL&L does some incredible designs - I applaud you stitching them - they intimidate the heck out of me!!
ReplyDeleteThey intimidate me, too, but I loved these designs enough to get ignore it, lol.
DeleteI love the pieces you are working on. They are beautiful. Enjoy your stitching. See you in February.

ReplyDeleteI found your blog through the WIPocalypse check-in page. How nice of you to finish the piece for your friend! All your WIPs are so beautiful! Happy stitching in 2014!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a group effort by several of the ladies on the "Cross Stitch Crazy" board. http://crossstitchcrazy.yuku.com/
