January Turtle Trot 2015

January's ten projects for turtle trot 2015:

A whole lotta latte. I did some of the pink border and finished most of the middle cup. 

Before:

After:

Mirabilia Winter queen, pink conversion.  I worked on the bottom left side of her dress. 

Before:

After:

A picture of my cat Harley. I used pic2pat online to convert the picture to a pattern. Still not sure of the colors yet. I am really hoping it's going to turn out like the picture.  I worked a little on the top border. 

Before:

After:

A view from the window. Most of the work on this was done trying to find where I went wrong and fixing a mistake I made in the flowers.  I did manage to get a little stitched on the leaves on the left side, and a little in the middle.

After:

Take time. I stitched a bit of the sand. 

Before:

After:

Dock side quilts. I finished the last quilt and did the little window under it. 

Before:

After:

Wedding dress.  Which is a FINISH! Yayyy!!! I actually spent half an hour trying to match up the pink thread in order to finish it.  It was finished on January 1st. My first finish for 2015! In all honesty there was only about 2 hours worth of stitching left on her anyway .... Oh only I had known that! lol

Before:

After:

I added a few beads to her hair for a bit of bling. I don't like the black silhouette anymore. If I had my time back I would've picked a different color.  And I think with the bead placement on her chest....to me she looks like she has a deformed breast.  I might have to fix that!

So because that one is completed... I'm not sure if I'm supposed to continue working on the nine I have left or add another project in to keep it at ten. I don't know how the rules work.  If someone could let me know that would be much appreciated. 

In any case, if you can remember in my first TT post I said I only had 12 WIPS so I picked another one to add. 

This one I stopped because I wasn't sure if I liked the color fabric with the floss color. But looking at it with fresh eyes made me just love it!  It's called purple blue green butterfly and I bought it online from Artecy. 

Here's the before:

After:

Butterfly girl. I did a little on the side of her face/hair.  Haven't found the mistake yet but I know it's there somewhere!

Before:

After:

Mirabilias Red.  I didn't get as much done as I wanted. I filled in some of the brown on the bottom of her dress and a few black and white stitches here and there that needed filled in. 

Before:

After:

Rocky Point. I only got about 60-65 stitches put in this. I just wasn't feelin' it.... Anyway, I'm hoping to get into it more next month.

Happy Stitching!!
