H is for Holiday Patches
A friend talked me into getting this when she ordered them in for the guild. Not that it took much persuasion as I had seen one of her "Patches" projects done. Susan Kerndt has a whole series of these but I did a quick search and could not find them. Below is a picture of the fabric I intend to use for this piece.
And if you want to see someone who as actually done some work on the piece, look at Terese's piece At Willow Tree Pond

G is for Geometrics
This is just the pattern for a piece called Twilight Garden Square by Gay Ann Rogers. I bought it ages ago but have yet to stitch it. My boys always tease me that I do too many geometric pieces but I always see so many color possibilities. If I go to my stash right now and pull a Caron's watercolor.....NO! NO! NO! I will not start a new project till I get a WIP done! Or at least something from my Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January/February Challenge done...

F is for Florentine Christmas Ornaments
I do not even want to think how long this has been in my stash! It is an old EGA group correspondence course that I joined before my daughter was born.(She is in high school now!) A few years ago when my middle son was still stitching, we were cleaning out my stitching stuff and he pulled it out and said"Look what I found Mom!" I almost dumped it at that point, but there is something I like about it.
A lady in my local guild(she probably signed up the same time I did) is almost done with hers and it looks wonderful. I need to pull this out and work on it again. Not this year though!

E is for Elizabeth
Well, not just Elizabeth but Echoes of Elizabeth. This is a sampler by Gay Ann Rogers and I have seen this piece stitched up. It is lovely. Mine is still in the protective wrapper that the instructions came with. This is bad as it could be missing a page-you know how copiers are- and I bought this ages ago. Thank goodness I have a friend who just purchased the pattern. I doubt I will have an issue, but you never know...

D is for Day into Night
I don't think this piece has been in my stash too long. I am trying to remember who offered it...I think I took it from the Shining Needle Society which is a yahoo group that offers the most wonderful needlework classes.
I have always loved this piece since the first time I saw it offered at a national seminar that I could not attend. The sad thing is, the designer Judy Souliotis died last year. A terrible loss for the needlework world. One of these days I will stitch this piece and be glad that it was in my stash...

C is for Christmas...

The package underneath is a Threedles pattern. Under all of that is more Christmas projects. I was too embarrassed to show them all....
