Concentrated Crafting

My attention has swiveled from patchwork piecing/quilting to concentrated crafting. I have a backlog of kits awaiting completion and now I have the time and energy. 

Beginning with Project No. 1 for the New Year. Latch hook rug poinsettia tree skirt. 

A partial kit came in an online auction box, and I bought another partial kit from eBay. I also picked up partial bags of hook rug yarn at thrift. The canvas was missing from the first partial kit so I will complete it with the new canvas. I also plan on loosely following the charted pattern on the kit. I have started with a cream colored center. I will gift the full kit to my daughter that combines the two partial kits. 

Project No. 2 came to me as a partially completed needlepoint. The only part of the kit missing is the completed image looks like hyacinth. I got a good run at Project No. 2 before the latch hook rug kit arrived. 

Project No. 3 is needlepoint Chintz Cats. All of the following needlepoint kits were purchased secondhand. 

Project No. 4 is needlepoint Fruits and Vegetables pillow. I really like this one and may bump all of the other kits to start it. 

Project No. 5 is needlepoint Peach Rose. Soooo pretty. 


Project No. 6 is needlepoint pheasant Christmas stocking queued up for completion prior to December 2025. 


Let's see how many of these I will actually complete over the next 12 months. If I complete one project every two months, I will reach my needlepointing goal.
