2002 Finishes

Total: 22

      My "freebie" roll continued this year, although I also celebrated my first big finish (10.5" x 17.25") with Mirabilia's A Midsummer Night's Fairy.
      Some highlights of the year: meeting a few Bay Area stitchers including WhizGidget, threadbear, and Claudia Dutcher of Dutch Treat Designs; attending CATS in Riverside with my daughter, whose charming personality was rewarded with about $20 worth of stitching items for free; and in the 4th quarter, finishing more items than starting.
      The number of finished items below (23) may seem like a lot, but I very rarely spend more than 2 hours a day stitching, and a lot of days go by where I don't stitch at all. Besides, I know of an avid stitcher in Alberta, Canada who finished 73 items in 2002. That's pretty amazing in my book!
