Stitching in 2011

Last year I posted my stitching goals for the year, and almost all the items done.  Some bad tendinitis in my stitching arm slowed me down, but that herb farm sampler is almost done!  So, since that seemed to work for me last year, here is my 2011 Stitching goals:

1. Finish the Harm Farm Sampler (completed)
2. Guild Program Items:
1. Easel finishing (March) (completed)
   
2. Bargello Christmas Tree (April) (started)
3. Blackwork Project (October)
3. Finish Christmas in the Heartland Sampler (completed)
4. Finish one corner of my large hardanger piece
5. Pay it forward 2011 - I offered to send something handmade to 5 friends if they offered to send something to 5 friends.  So, I have 5 things to make. (1 of 5 completed)
6. *BONUS* Lizzie Kate kit - HO HO HO Cross stitch

So, here's where I'm at with the herb garden sampler:

Here's the small bit I have started on Christmas in the Heartland.  There's still more to go, but once I get going I know it will go quickly.  It's a lot of fun.
