End of the Year Review

This post will contain all of the stitching projects that were completed since May 28th.  In the first 5 months I completed 27 projects.  For the last 7 months I completed 38 projects.  Now, some of the projects were on the same fabric.  Since I paid for each pattern separately, I counted them as separate projects.  I will sort them by the month completed.

May completes since May 28th

So, this year I completed 65 cross stitch projects, 2 crocheted afghans, 1 macrame planter holder, 1 diamond dot pattern, 6 sewing projects, and 1 jelly roll rug.  It was a very productive year.  I hope 2020 will be as productive.

Thank you for stopping by.

24 Hour Marathon Challenge

I participated in Jen Lee's (@quirksandstitchs) 24 Hour Marathon Challenge this month.  I spent a total of 22 hours stitching over a 48 hour period.  I worked 1-hour per project but didn't stitch on every project.  I only finished one project, Little Sheep Virtues: Patience by Little House Needlework.


I also participated in her June 24 Hour Challenge.  You had to pick projects that title, designer, or theme could be used to spell Twenty Four.  I chose to stitch 144 minutes per project for a total of 24 hours.  I have completed this challenge

2019 Mid-year Review

Welcome to my blog.  My goal this year is to complete as many WiPs as possible.  All new projects will be smalls (less than or equal to 60 x 60).  

So without further ado, my parade of finishes for the year of 2019. First I will start with Little Sheep Virtues by Little House Needleworks. I'm stitching it like Yellow Farmhouse.  So far I have completed 6 of the 12 patterns. I'm using DMC floss on Chocolate Brown Linen.

 

 Next, the Main Street Series by Country Cottage Needlework.  I am working them around a town square on hand-dyed aida by me using DMC floss. I stitched the bookstore and the dress shop.  Also,
I did make a change; I created a church for the town square.

 

My Church Design

The next series is Amy Bruecken's Man of the Month snowmen.  I finished the last 3 months. I stitched with the called for threads on the called for fabric.  Now all I need to do is add the beads.

 Next, Happily Ever After by The Frosted Pumpkin.  I've only finished a couple of the patterns.

Next, finishes from Stitch "May'nia.  I had 14 actual new starts.  I have finished 10 of them.

  Finally, random WiPs completed.

I hope to finish as many in the second half of the years a I have so far.  We will see.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed looking at my work.
