September WIPocalypse

 Question of the Month:  Do you have any sort of record for your finished pieces? Tell us how you record their information.

I have an excel spreadsheet where there is a tab for all of my finishes.  When I finally frame a piece I also write the info on the back.  My excel spreadsheet also has a tab for wips, projects ready to start and project to kit up.

This month I participated in ABCingo with the Magazine Monthly Challenge facebook group.  I worked on alot of projects and made some good progress.

Suncatchers.  I worked on this one 3 times

 

Gnomes was worked on once.  I finished backstitching the second gnome.

Autumn Sampler was on my board the most times.  I added alot of the smaller repetitive motifs.  Even started backstitching in an area that has all of the cross stitching done.

Princess & the Dragon was worked on twice.

Hello Autumn was called once.

 

Queen of the  Sea was called twice.  Love the bright colors in this one.

Funky Cat was worked on one day.

 

Butterfly Fairy Night was worked on twice.  This one will be a focus piece in October.  Hoping to finish it before the end of the year.

Owl Faces was worked on once.  I will also take this one with me to Florida to work on.

 

Jolly Snowman saw one day of work. This one will go on the to be finished in 2026 list.

 Homestead Harvest was worked on one day.  More white house.  I am using a laying tool trying to get my white stitches to look nice.

Then I had a new start on my board.  Raccoon Tea Pot from Cross Country Stitching 2012.  Here is what it will look like when done and how much progress I made with one day of stitching.

 

QS Magic Island was called twice and I also work on it daily during the week.  I am halfway done with page 6.

 QS Portal of Fantasy was called once and I continued to work on it on the weekends.  I finished page 1.

I had a random new start Stock Car #3.  Here is what it will look like when finished and where I got to.

This is being stitched on 18ct Joy Lynn fabric from Rogue Stitching 1x1 full cross.  It is very soft and a loose weave.  I am having to use magnifying glasses to stitch it.

I also worked on Owl #9 and finished it.  In October I want to fully finish Owl #8 and Owl #9 that means adding the babies names and birth dates.

I found some stash while out going to Antique Malls.  2 floss boxes full of DMC, some Aida and a Mill Hill Kit for $3.50.  I am thinking about starting that kit in October.

 

October looks to be a busy month with travel and lots of stitching goals.
