January 2013 :UFOs To-Do List

Hello Everyone!

It's time to share the result of my January UFOs To-Do List....following are the outcome:

1.  Embroidery 101...it still Work in Progress.  I failed to finish this project within this month. It is also part of the A Lovely Year of Finishes: January 2013 Currently it is at the final stage of binding and I'm thinking of machine bind it...this is how it looks like after I hand quilted the top.

2. Anyway I am happy to I inform that I finished sewing two of my UFOs pouches... and I blog about it HERE.

3. I've completed piecing all the blocks for the Rose Garden quilt... and I post about it HERE

4.  I've yet to finish piecing all these block... everything still remain as they are.

5.  The crocheted granny bag is still work in progress too...there are still some details need to be done to the bag... Anyway  just to share how the bag looks like here it is!  I'm still in the process of stitching the lining of the bag....

So in summary, out of five projects that I've listed I only manage to accomplished two, and I did this in between of joining the sewing challenges and  quilt along that I participated in January 2013...
