    Hello everyone

    Meant to get on yesterday - to do my final update for 2013 but things took over.

    I managed to finish both my work sampler (but have left it at work - doh! - not back till Monday) and my autumn sampler.

    So I think that makes it that I have completed 12 out 13 and have completed 4 parts of the number 13 - the learning sampler.

    So here is the autumn sampler completed - will try and do a group picture later - using my old camera and the pictures are not as good as the new camera.

    Autumn sampler -

    So my list is now -

    1. Calendars - at least 2 (one for me & one for my former MinL) - complete 12/01/2013
    2. AOY charity squares - letter O x 2 - complete 27/01/2013
    3. Birth samplers x 2 complete 04/08/2013
    4. SH adult quiltsquares x6(purple,blue,green,yellow,orange&red) - complete 16/06/2013
    5. SH squares for a weegirl (sharesmybirthday),school&hospital - complete 20/07/2013
    6. Snow drop memorial stitches for my mum and her sisters x 4 - complete 10/02/2013
    7. Purple Work part 2 - complete 31/3/13
    8. Helen Phillips - Winter (from CSC) complete 21/09/2013
    9. Helen Phillips - Spring (from CSC) complete 20/11/2013
    10. Helen Phillips - Summer (from CSC) complete 11/12/13
    11. Helen Phillips - Autumn (from CSC) complete 31/12/13
    12. Blue Sampler (from Work) at least one part complete 24/12/13
    13. Maybe even start but definitely not finish Blackwork of the British Isles (it is 1m x 1.5m). Have started doing the Learning Sampler instead of this - its an 18 month part stitch - started in September 2013 - completed 4 parts out of 18.

    Kind wishes to all - look forward to seeing you in 14 in 2014 - but will be back here Monday hopefully with a picture of my work sampler (the blue sampler part two).
