Each month we have to share the projects we want to complete before the End Of The World.
Since 2011 I have chosen a number of projects to focus on that year, starting with my "11 in '11" and increasing to "19 in '19" for this year. You can find the full list here.
This month I stitched on five of my list and had one finish:

Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.
October - Do you prefer to stitch on a rotation or one project at a time?
October - Do you prefer to stitch on a rotation or one project at a time?
I think you probably all know the answer to this one! I do like a rotation. I have tried several over the years and the one that suits me is based around the time of the day.
1. Each morning after breakfast - a small daily stitch project - it might be 10-a-Day or one length a day. In October it has been Mystic Sampler, approximately one 20 x 20 block per day.
2. The afternoon - My focus piece for the day. This year it has been The Discworld Mappe for a fortnight each month. Then one of the other projects on my "19 in '19"
3. The Small Boy's Bath-time - stitching while supervising. This year I have stitched on Mrs Peggotty's Queen of Hearts and the Jessica Savage Words as well as some of my Christmas Ornaments.
Finally, there will be a Hallowe'en Trick or Treat Blog Hop as usual this year. I am currently working on the Mystery Phrase and will email all the participants very soon.
Jo: Nice progress, you have so many lovely design to choose from each time you stitch
ReplyDeleteI am a one at a time stitcher, that may change due to a SAL from Donna at By The Bay.

Congratulations on your finish, I love the fabric you used. Your wips are looking wonderful as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, they're all looking good
ReplyDeleteLove the owl, although the poor ghost underneath looks worried he might become its prey! Congrats on your finish and other progress. Raven looks almost close to being finished, except for the beads. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the cute finish and great progress on the others Jo.

Oh, I LOVE that Mystic Sampler finish, Jo--so many cute little motifs :)
ReplyDeleteI really love that Mystic Sampler!! Perfect for Dark October!
ReplyDeleteGreat job finishing your Dark Daily Stitch, and Raven looks like she'll be done soon, as well! You've really been making great progress on your list this year.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous progress! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteLovely progress! Do you find it hard to stick to the routine you have, or do you sometimes go with the flow in regards to what you stitch and when? I admire those of you who stitch in rotation - I make such slow progress on just one piece that I find rotating between many would be too demoralising. You seem to make such good progress!
ReplyDeleteThat owl looks amazing! And yay, Raven has an upper body!
