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 "21 in '21" for this year. This month I stitched on 6 of them and met 2 WIPGO Goals.
5. Nora Corbett Gathering Eggs - a finish!
stitched on 35 count Vintage Country Mocha Linen
8. Just Nan Scream House

10. Stoney Creek 12 Days of Christmas
13. Bothy Threads 12 Days of Christmas - stitching finished, couched outline to be added

17. Just Nan Follow the Needle

Also started the little Ornament chart which comes with the main sampler
20. CCN Halloween Village Cafe

Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too:
September – List five projects you have unstarted in your stash that you’d like to start something in the (relatively) near future.
Only five? That's so difficult! But I dived into the box next to me and pulled out these four (technically seven because of the seasons!)
First up, Princess Elliana by Mirabilia. I have an idea for a conversion for this one.
Next, the Seasons from Cricket Collection. I'd like to stitch these as cubes with one letter per cube.
I've not stitched a Blue Flower design yet and I love Night Walked Down.
Next to her is The Halloween Sampler by Cottage Garden. I even have the thread for that one!
The fifth design set is one I saw on Rachel and Tiff's blogs as part of their Para-Olympic Stitching. These will be a series of 12 Dragons. Even better, the fabric was a gift from Rachel! It's a piece of 32 count Autumnal Woodland by Crafty Kitten which was wrong for the project Rachel bought it for. I used it to stitch an Ink Circles' Mandala and have enough left for these dragons.
Here are three pieces cut to size for three of the dragons:
Finally, there will be a Hallowe'en Trick or Treat Blog Hop as usual this year. I am sure you all know how it works but for those who need a reminder - here's a link to last year's
If you want to take part, just leave a comment here or email me if you are a "no reply" person. I need an email address for you to take part in this hop.
And here are the colours used for all the designs:
Uh, I love your selection projects! Can't wait to see which ones will make it on your WIPocalypse list next year, but by the looks of it, the dragons won't even have to wait as long!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Gathering Eggs! It is super!
ReplyDeleteGathering Eggs is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally impressed you managed to narrow your selection down to 5!
ReplyDeleteI too have the Cricket Collection seasons and am thinking maybe one letter per month for two years when my monarchs are finished, but that won't be until at least mid 2023.
And, of course, I'm going to love your dragons, especially as you're going to stitch them as charted. I still feel bitter about not not being able to get on with the linen at all, but am so glad it is being put to good use. :)
