UFO/WIP Progress Report

My latest progress report is a mixed bag.  I have been stitching borders around a dozen or so old finishes, prepping them for sewing and assembly finishing  - the better to see the edge of a piece and stitch even margins all way round.  Still, some progress has been made.  I have even managed to tick an item or two off the list.  And add a few new starts as well.

1. Lori Birmingham's Pansy Garden Nantucket Style Basket (2005 CATS project)
2. Catherine Jordan's Pretty Picot Edges (2006 CATS project)
3.  Karen Bovard's Filet Lace (2006 CATS project)
4. Peyote stitch bracelet (Willow Tree, Boothbay Harbor , Maine)

19. HAED's The Tangle Fairy, barely started
20. Morning Glory The Sheltering Tree.  Finished 2 - 17 -16.    The shadow effect [stitched over one, no less] was a cha;;enge but well worth the effort.
    
21. Bent Creek Swirlygig. Lately my new smalls starts all seem to be miniature samplers.  This one was fun and relatively quick to stitch, a two dat wonder, if you please. Finished 2 -19 =16.
    
    
    
22. Country Cottage Sunflower Sampler. Started 2 - 20 - 16.
    

As to sewing finishes, I have managed a few more this week: 
A is for Autumn as a pin pillow
Mini Love Bird Sampler as an ornament
A Stylized Christmas Tree on a pink background as Piper's annual ornament
PS Eagle and Shield as an ornament

I hope to devote my stitching  time over the next few days to sewing up the finishes I mentioned at the beginning of this post and completing the Sunflower Sampler.  And, by the end of the week pick up a languishing BAP, The Jacobean Elegance afghan and start work on my next Workbasket Quaker animal, the Bear.
