Just to refresh all of our memories (mine in particular) - here are the rules again:
2014 Turtle Trot SAL
Rules (copied from the BAP Attack blog):
1. You must have a blog, because you'll be posting links to it. If you don't have a blog, you can still work on those old projects, lol. You just won't be eligible for the contest.
2. Pick 10 unfinished projects.
3. Take a picture of them and make a blog post by the 10th of January.
4. Each month, by the 10th, post whatever progress pics you have.
5. Post a link to your progress post here.
So, here we go:
Turtle Trot BAP 1:
Joan Elliott Round Robin pieces. This started May last year and looks like continuing until May this year. I am sneaking this one in as I think that even though each month or so it is a different JE lady, it is still a BAP.

Friday Night With Friends
Last night I sewed like mad on my Day 10 Crazy January Start: January Cat (TraderVic and I were watching "The Return of the King" so I had plenty of stitching time!) and I was very pleased with how far I got.
This is a freebie from this site here.
Well, I will let you all go now, "Phew" I can hear you say - lol!
Off to Water aerobics now and then more stitching tonight after I make a yummy frittata for dinner.

That is a lot of gorgeous stitching to work on all year long :) I had to laugh at the "Kings of England" one and the George that is remembered with booze bottles! HAHAHHA! GO GO GO Kaye! And Turtle Trot your way to stitching victory!
You have some wonderful projects going there! Love the Elizabethan flair. :D
(I should have said Tudor flair...)
I love all your choices Kaye. You have some really big pieces in there but they are all gorgeous.

Happy New Year.
Wow, you definitely have some BAPs here!!
Love the Bothy Threads Kings and Queens, I must post a link of a song for you to sing while stitching.
Your ORTs container is lovely too, very classy!
If this link doesn't work just google Horrible Histories Kings and Queens songs for one that does!

That's why I love all these posts in January about the Crazy Challenges and the Turtle Trot Challenge - you get to see so many designs that you have never seen before. So interesting. Like your Kings and Queens chart, it's a funny design and it must be a lot of fun to stitch it.
You really have some great WIPs on the go.
Wow! You are going to be super busy!! How many hours a day do you stitch? I think I need to carve out more time to do so.
Know all about fur kids "helping"! Good luck with your SALs.
Wow, that is some collection! I can't wait to see the progress you make!
I have always loved Herny VIII and his wives... One day it might be on my stitching list!
Good to see Cinderella again :)
Hugs x
