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.
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.
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.
