A few pics from the past

Just wanted to share a few pictures of some things I've worked on.  In absolutely no order at all.  :-)

This was for Love Quilts.
 
Pillowcases for my kids.

 
This is a kit in my stash.  I'm hoping to start it in 2014.

 
Bread cloth...

 
Another bread cloth...


 
For the Sandy Hook Memorial quilts

 
DMC box that I scored off of Craigslist jam packed with new floss.

 

 
Sneaky husband snapping a pic when I didn't know it, lol.

A random SAL.
 

From the same DMC box.
 


 
Another Sandy Hook square.


Sandy Hook...
 

 
Hand towel for the bathroom.


 
My ORT jar for 2013.  (ORT = Old Ratty Threads.)  It's the bits and bobs that get snipped off.  At the end of the year I'll get clear Christmas ornaments from Hobby Lobby, stuff them with the threads and label with the year.  :0)  (Also, you can see my notebook in the background that has 3 HAED patterns in it.)
 

 
And last but not least....cats and stitching.  It's like a moth to a flame!

Welcome!

I have started this blog because I want to be able to keep my stitching related blogging separate from my regular day to day blogging.  Some folks aren't as "into" the world of stitching as I am ~ so this will help them to not have to sort through the posts they'd rather not see.  This is also going to be my personal "home base" for thinking, planning, and sharing about my stitching charity ~ The Legacy of Dorcas.  (See tab above entitled "My Stitching Charity Organization.) 
 
I will share pics of my own WIPs, completed projects, and new stash lovliness.  I'll also share the things The Legacy of Dorcas is doing and record the highs and lows of it all.
