September WIPocalypse


This month I was part of the ABCingo event on the Monthly Magazine Challenge Group.  I really enjoyed this challenge.  A letter was picked daily so I stitched on whatever project I had assigned to that letter.  I only had to do 100 stitches but usually stitched more.  I did have a few new starts.

Bebunni was a new start.  It was a kit from the magazine World of Cross Stitching #227.  I started this on 9/3/21 and here is my progress:




I worked on Cat Paws with 329 stitches

Crane Paradise was stitched on 458 stitches


Dandelion Fairy Kingdom was stitched on but not as much as I usually work on it.  I did finish page 8 and started on page 9. 785 stitches

Give Thanks to God Sample from Cross Country Stitching October 2013 was a new start on 9/7/21.  I am stitching it on 18ct Davis Putty Khaki.  The fabric is so soft that when I put it in my hoop it stretched the holes out.  So I am stitching this one in hand. I like the colors in this one.  Here is my progress with 587 stitches:




Hodge Podge Soup was another new start on 9/18/21 from Cross Country Stitching October 2013.  This is my 3rd project from this magazine.  271 stitches:



Let's Mingle and Jingle by Ursula Michael.  I worked on this one and put in 703 stitches.

Butterfly Fairy Night was worked on 215 stitches.  I still struggle with this one and will continue to keep putting in a minimum number of stitches to get it done.

I started on my second Owl from Cross Stitch and Needlework Sept 2014.  My goal is to have 3 Owls finished and made into wall hangings to give to my brother and sister in law for Christmas. 300 stitches


On 9/9 I started the Reindeer Ornament from Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine January 2009.

225 stitches on Reindeer Ornament
 

To Everything There is a Season from Cross Country Stitching June 2011 started on 9/2/21. 478 stitches.  Stitched on 18ct Rustic Oatmeal

This gives me 12 WIPS.  More than I usually have on the go.  I will continue to focus on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom, Lets Mingle and Jingle and my Owls.

This month's question from Measi is:

September 26 – List five projects you have unstarted in your stash that you’d like to start sometime in the (relatively) near future.

I would like to start this Flamingo Mill Hill kit.


 

Homestead Harvest by Linda Myers.  I have this one all kitted up.  Once I finished something this one will get started.

I bought this kit of some Hedge Hogs off Stash Unload and would like to get this one started.

Possum Song.  I saw someone stitching this one and had to have it.  I downloaded it as a pdf (which I normally only have hard copy patterns but I really wanted this one.)  I have it kitted up and this one is up next to start.  Even if I do not finish anything.

Princess and the Dragon by Teresa Wentzler.  This was a pull out pattern from one of the British magazines.  I have this one all kitted up.

I still have a few days left in September with 5 projects left I need to put 2 hrs on each.  If I accomplish that it will be the first time I have stitched every day in a month.
