October WIPocalypse

 Question of the Month:  What retreats or stitching events would you love to attend someday?

Someday I would like to go to StitchCon.  So far I have not attended any retreats.

I did the October Acrostic with the Magazine Monthly Challenge group.  I stitched on the following projects:

Gnomes was worked on twice.

Butterfly Fairy Night was on 4 times and I kept it out and worked on it several more times during the month.  I managed to finish all the stitching on the Fairy.  I just have a small amount of backstitching to do.  I have to corners left to stitch and this one will be done.  I will keep it out in November in the hopes of finally finishing it this year.

 

Autumn Sampler was also worked on.

Then I stitched on the following projects:

 


I put more stitches in Stock Car #3.


Raccoon Teapot I ended up taking this piece to Florida to work on.

More work was done on Owl Faces


 

I added more stitches to Queen of the Sea.

Jolly Snowman filled in more background


 

Homestead Harvest still working on the big white house.  But I did add a window this time.

Porthole of Fantasy.  Started on page 2.  I work on this one during the weekends.


QS Magic Island.  I finished page six and have a good start on page 7.


 Princess and the Dragon.  Working on the Princess's dress.  Slow going as lots of blends and quarter stitches.

 Then I had a new start - Mill Hill Harvest Corn.  There will be lots of stitching and beads in this one.  It is bigger than I thought.  Here is what it will look like when done and then the start I made on it.



 In September I participated in ABCingo with the Magazine Monthly Challenge Group on Facebook.  I had two bingos and my  name was drawn for a prize!  I got a $40 gift card to Garon Stitchery.  I got a pattern and a project bag


Then Stitches So Beautiful was having a sale and I bought 2 patterns.  


 

I also did some finishing this month.  Here are two that I got fully finished.  I have 3 more that are almost finished and I will show them next month.


 Faces of Faery 90 by Jasmine Becket Griffith/HAED. Finished 6/7/21.


 Gathering Honey by Better Homes & Garden CSCC May/June 1987. Finished 10/19/2009
