This month's question is: What five patterns do you really want to purchase (or start) right now?
Bigfoot Bunch and Abonimable Bunch by Plum Street. I have both of this kitted up and ready to go. I want to make these for my sister. I have 14 ct aida so they might end up to big for a pillow but I am thinking maybe a flatfold. I have never stitched a Plum Street before. Hoping to start yet this year some time.
I bought this hedge hog kit and would like to start this one soon too.
Hello Autumn is also all kitted up and ready to go.
I have been wanting to stitch one of these for quite a while. I just need to pick one and get it kitted up. I think I am leaning towards stitching the squirrel first.
And here is what I have been stitching on this month:
Crane Paradise working on finishing page 3.
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom by HAED. I usually just stitch on this one Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. But in July I took part in the Full Coverage Tour De France challenge. I went for the yellow jersey and put in 3,356 stitches by 7/23/22. I have continued to stitch on this piece. During the challenge I finished page 12 and made good progress on page 13. I would like to finish page 13 in August.
I also took part in the Magazine Monthly Challenge Acrostic. I picked Freedom for the theme piece. 277 stitches working on the F and then all of the backstitching will begin.
Possum Song I worked on this one also for the Magazine Monthly Challenge. Almost have the circle completed and then I can begin the possum in the middle.
To Everything There is a Season was also worked on for the Magazine Monthly Challenge. This one uses quite a few dmc varigated colors
Hodge Podge Soup is getting closer to a finish. This was also part of the Magazine Monthly Challenge.
I also started Owl #5 part of Bright Owl Quintet from Cross Stitch & Needlework Sept 2014. This was also part of the Magazine Monthly Challenge. Great Niece #5 is due the end of August. I hope to get this one done so I can fully finish Owl #4 and Owl #5.
Butterfly Fairy Night was the last piece in my Magazine Monthly Challenge. I am still struggling with this one. 151 stitches. It is on my list to work on again in August.
Give Thanks to God Sampler. Worked on this one for one day.
I had a rainy Sunday afternoon and worked on Princess and the Dragon by Teresa Wentzler. Working on a section with alot of blended colors. I have alot of Teresa Wentzler patterns in my stash. Bought during the time everyone was stitching on a Wentzler.
In July I had 3 days of no stitching. In August I go back to only Stitching on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom on the weekends and stitching projects on my August Magazine Monthly challenge. We are going camping for a week in August. I will take a few projects to work on.
