This is Jane Atkinson by the Scarlet Letter. According to my records this piece was last photographed on February 23, 2009. I love Jane, truly, madly, deeply and would love to finish her early this year. Not sure that will happen, that over 1 verse is a killer. I'm stitching Jane on 36ct Flax linen and using good old DMC. The colors are much brighter than what you see in the picture which is part of Jane's charm.
Above you see Primitive Needle's Black'd Skie. I had hoped to finish this project before the end of this year but as you can see that ain't happening. I know I have stitched more on this block but can't seem to find a picture. This photo was snapped on July 28, 2010. I'm stitching Black'd Skie on 40ct Vintage Pear and using the Pure Palette Silks. They are awesome to stitch with.
And Long Dog's Sonne Spotte Rounds out my top three. I'm using a mix of GAST and DMC and stitching on 36ct creme brulee I believe. This picture was taken on April 15, 2009. The other three projects that will be seeing lots of action the first part of 2011 are Handwork's Frances Eden, Scarlet Letter's Emma Lerch and Long Dog's Moulin Rouge.
I'm looking forward to this WIP challenge and hope I can keep up my mojo and get these projects completed by June. Unless something unforseen happens I can see this as a very reasonable goal.

Oh gosh, i want to stitch everything on your list! Except for Jane. Thank goodness. lol! Great list! I'll root you on. Happy New Year!
good luck with the challenge ... can't wait to see more "finished".
happy new year....
Good luck, Melissa. I signed up for this too, but most of my 15 are smallish to medium sized pieces I found in my stash.
Best of luck with the challenge! I am doing that one, too. Most of my WIPs / UFOs are BAPs, so I am putting (waaaaaaaaay) more than 15 on my list but including some smaller ones so I have a chance :)
Great projects Melissa!!! Fun challenge too, you can do it :-).
Those are some hefty projects! We're rooting for you!
