December 31, 2022--Happy, happy New Year!
I managed to complete the stitching on 16 needlepoint projects while doing so much else this year (traveled to Europe on a Rhine River Needlepoint cruise, went to ANG's 50th Anniversary Seminar in Tucson, AZ, got COVID twice even while fully vaccinated, had eye surgery in September, did some miscellaneous traveling around the country, finished Stage 1 and in the process of working on Stage 2 of ANG's Master Needlepointer Certification, etc.). Below are pictures from most recent (December) to oldest (January).
Many have not yet been finished into ornaments, framed, etc.--I'm waiting to stitch all the projects in the collections before working them up into ornaments (e.g., Janet Zickler Casey's santa collection and Susan Portra's holiday ornament collection).
Also included in this list are the projects stitched in prior years that have been finished into pillows, ornaments, etc. in 2022.
Hope you enjoy looking at these pictures and walking down memory lane with me. Click on the photo's caption to see more information about each project.

Lovely-all of them but Heart Jeweled is my favorite. I'm still surprised that was used the same frame for different pieces of course (the Rose in Assisi).
