July WIPcolaypse

 This month's question is:  Which are your favorite and least favorite fabrics to stitch on?

My favorite fabric to stitch on is Aida.  I am an Aida stitcher.  My least favorite is linen.  I have 2 WIPs that are not on Aida - Butterfly Fairy Night being stitched on 28 ct even weave and Gathering Pinecones being stitched on R&R Linen.  And I am struggling with each of them.

Here is what I stitched on in July:

Abominable Bundle.  This is being stitched on 14ct Lavender Mist.  I picked it thinking the which would show up good.  The white blends in.  So I am adding blending filament to the main Abominable Snowman.  Hoping this helps him show up.  I want it to look like ice particles on his fur.

 

Bigfoot Bunch.  I finished this one 7/4/23.  Took him camping and got alot done.  It is also stitched on 14ct Lavender Mist.  Does not show up well in the picture.

Crane Paradise got worked on for a day as part of my Magazine Monthly Challenge Acrostic.

Bigfoot Bunch and Abominable Bundle were also part of the Magazine Monthly Challenge Acrostic

Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  Still on my scroll rods.  I did stitch on this one every day thru 7/23 as part of the Full Coverage Fanatics Tour De France. I completed the Yellow Jacket for 3,404 stitches.  I continued to stitch on this one each day.  Alot of confetti left to finish up page 16.  I am behind as normally  by this time I would be working on my 3rd page of the year.  This is my first page I am trying to finish for 2023.

Put another 100 stitches in What a Hoot Owl Teapot.

Possum Song.  After I finished Big Foot Bundle I picked this one to work on at night while watching tv.  I was able to finish it on 7/14/23.

Princess & the Dragon got worked on one night.

Give Thanks to God sampler got some more work done on it.

Hello Autumn.  I was going to pick out what I had done and start over moving it over.  But I decided to keep going.

July was a good stitching month.  I retired 6/30.  I had 2 finishes in July which brings my finishes total to 5 for the year.   I try to stitch on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom every afternoon.  Then in the evenings I pick other pieces to work on.  For August I will continue working on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom in the afternoons.  I will work on projects on my August Magazine Monthly Acrostic and then when those goals are met I will work on Butterfly Fairy Night with the hopes of finishing it this year.
