September WIPocalypse

 The WIPocalypse question this month is What new stitches or techniques did you learn this year?  I have not learned any new stitches or techniques this year.

In September I participated in ABCingo put on by the Magazine Monthly Cross Stitch group.  25 calls were made and I stitched on 12 different projects.  I did get 2 bingos.  I made lots of progress on some of the projects that were called multiple times.  Here is what was worked on:

 Princess & the Dragon at the start of ABCingo

And at the end of ABCingo.  All of the cross stitching is finished and I have started on the backstitching.  Then will come the beads.  I will have this one done before the end of the year.

 Moonlight Laguna Mermaid at the start of ABCingo

It was called 3 times for ABCingo

Suncatchers at the start of ABCingo

Suncatchers was worked on twice

 

 Jolly Snowman at the beginning of ABCingo

Jolly Snowman was only worked on once.  I need to bring it out more in October if I hope to have it done by the end of the year.

 

Southern Magnolias at the start of ABCingo

It was worked on twice during ABCingo.

Homestead Harvest progress was made

 

QS Magic Island was worked on and I finished page 12.

And I made a start on page 13

I also worked on the following projects that were not part of ABCingo:

Owl Faces I finished face 5 and started on face 6

Funky Cats working on the second cat still and will be for some time

Summer Pig got some work done on it

 

 

There was one new start on my ABCingo board but it did not get called.  I think I will wait to January to start it and other new starts.  I have found that I like kitting up projects and the comfort of stitching on my existing WIPs.  I enjoy new projects once they are started but getting them going puts me off. 

September was a slower stitching month for me.  We went camping twice and I am preparing for my mother in law to stay with us in October.
