WIPocalypse is hosted by Measi's Musings
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 "20 in '20" for this year. This month I stitched on 6 of them.
My Discworld Mappe went from here:

Measi always gives us a topic to discuss:
April – Talk to us about your longest-running WIP or UFO.
That's an easy one - no change since last year! My oldest UFO is from the 1990s - Ernie Bishop's Noel Banner:
Since I took that photo I have completed the O for my Longest Day Marathons:

Last time I got them out I realised I had used the wrong Perle for the hardanger on the E so that's all got to come out too. These have been added to my WIPocalypse this year. I have 8 projects started pre-2016 and have added 3 to my list this year (the ones in bold).

I always enjoy seeing your progress. Discworld Mappe is coming along very well, The Noel banner is certainly an old one.
ReplyDeleteYou have stitched on some wonderful designs , and wow your stitching looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic progress on all of your projects Jo. The mappe is looking amazing.

I think I had that Emie Bishop pattern at one point, but realized my limitations. It's looking lovely, mistakes or no!
ReplyDeleteYou've made some nice progress on your WIPs this month!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Look at your progress on the mappe. Beautiful. Plus so many other pieces too. Great update!
ReplyDeleteThe Mappe is so close to a finish!
ReplyDeleteI still love the hardanger piece it would be nice to see it finished
Mappe is soon to be a finish.
ReplyDeleteWinter in the Square is looking great.
Jo, the Noel hardanger piece is stunning, I can't wait to see some more of that one this year. Great work on Discworlde - I can remember when it was just one stitch!
ReplyDeleteYou've come so far on the Discworlde map.
ReplyDeleteI hope you finish the Noel Hardanger, it is beautiful.
Lovely work on all your projects =) I love the Diskworld map =)
ReplyDeleteDiscworld is getting ever closer! Lots of lovely stitching - I'm really enjoying your Alice SAL x
ReplyDeleteThat's an awful lot of progress on the Discworld Mappe this last month, let alone all the other progress you've made. Your needles must definitely be smoking!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any enthusiasm for stitching Noel, or is the fact you've got to correct a mistake putting you off?
The Disc World looks incredible! Am I getting ahead of myself in suggesting that you might be able to finish it this year? There doesn't appear that much to be left!
ReplyDeleteThe Mappe is coming along beautifully, there is an end in sight!
ReplyDeleteI really love seeing Alice come together, it's so unique.
Your L in NOEL is gorgeous, in spite of the error. No way to keep it?
