I made a Kiss Clasp Coin Purse based on a tutorial link from the bag master @gozer.
I barely got it done…it took me hours…ha ha…all that hand sewing and basting for such a little thing…

Ooh, I like the fish!
I LOVE your curtains and valance! Sorry about the fibro, but glad to see you back and crafting!
I love that so much! Gorgeous! I’ve never tried using one of those frames, they look like hard work, but so pretty!!
While going through my extensive stash, I came across multiple tree skirt panels. These are prequilted semicircles. I have ohh 4 or 5 different patterns/designs so lots of multiples of each (snowmen, village scene, teddy bears, peppermint, etc.). I made twelve full circle tree skirts with lining on the back so that each can be reversible to a different print or solid. They tie closed with ribbons. These were donated to an area mission and to veterans. Unfortunately I didn’t snap pics of the stack before donating. I came across some panels that I haven’t found mates for (yet!) so maybe those can be for a mantel or table.
Lately there have been numerous house fires (as well as the devastating fires in Australia and California). I hope that my simple offering will bring a touch of “home” in their new place.
Hoping it’s not too late to jump into this!
I will be cheating a little bit - I want to make a ‘patchwork’ crocheted jumper, but I’m going to count each fancy patch (granny square etc) as a finished item. I won’t count all the samples I do for my A level, that would get silly (today I did about a dozen sheets of prints from my lino cut, for instance).
Here goes:
January:
Jellyfish corset finished (A Level work)
Wheel Lattice square (for jumper)
Pattern here (free, not mine)
Some ‘plain’ patches (for jumper)
Border patch (for jumper) will post link if I can refind it
Nordic Star Afghan square (for jumper)
February
Daisy square/embellishment
Samples for college
Another college sample
Various flowers for jumper
Patches for jumper
I’ve not done crocodile stitch before
Mended keyring
2 fabric ATCs I made for Magpie for a personal swap
Another powertex brooch - showed a friend how to make one.

Love the fishies!
@Jeanne I bet you put a lot of work into those…how wonderful to donate something for the home of others.
@GMPNQ Welcome!!! You can count your projects anyway you like…it is often good to count parts of a larger project just to keep track…plus, the time for each part is probably long…can’t wait to see the end project.
I finished up this cute basket today! I used an old T-shirt that no longer fit. I had to do something with the shirt because it was a gift from my brother and he isn’t one to give gifts often. So I always like keeping them around. The little robot is Claptrap from the Borderlands games. He is a favorite character of mine and the game is one my brother and I will play together.
@poetrylover828 Nice to be able to save something that has meaning…
Here is my last project for January…a stuffie made with a flannel shirt I wore in college…
That’s one cute stuffie!
Oh my word that is one cute stuffie!
I love the tshirt save, too. Great idea!
@AIMR oh I like the bunny stuffie!!
And thank you guys. I am happy I found a good use for my old shirt.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
These 2 finished today.
First one was supposed to be the middle of the square, but I can’t follow instructions or count - got too many petals!
I filled the middle hole in when I had a 2nd go, which I prefer.
I have 3 finished projects I haven’t had a chance to share yet.
A small mixed media made for the little good things swap
A large mixed media
And a set of Domino pendants
All colorful and lovely projects…how do you do paint and seal the dominos? I have always wanted to do that and even bought a box long ago to try but never did…
