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 "22 in '22" for this year. Since my last post I have stitched on 4 of them and have a finish too.
5. Carriage House Samplings Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow

9. Just Nan Mermaid Heart

17. Jardin Prive 12 Days of Christmas

18. Nora Corbett Virgo

Isn't she amazing? I finished her just this morning so I'll be writing a full post all about her for my final post of the month.
The full list can be seen here - WIPocalypse and 22 in 22
Finally, Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.
August – Have you been participating in gatherings via online chats (Zoom, Google Meet, etc) during the COVID pandemic? If so, what have been the best formats in your opinion?
No, no virtual meetings here. Although I have stitched during some virtual work presentations if I was listening in my own time at home. I still watch a few FlossTubes but not as many as I used to. My real-life stitching friend does come over regularly and we sit and stitch together which is really nice.
I am glad you have your stitching friend who comes over Jo. That is sure to ba a wonderful time spent together.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a finish, your Halloween is coming on in leaps and bounds. Glad to gear you are getting some in person friend stitching.
ReplyDeleteVirgo is beautiful! Love the sparklies!
ReplyDeleteI love your HRH Halloween, I have it kitted up and ready to start, most likely a 2023 start as I really need to get something finished. Also love Virgo - she is pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have a stitching buddy - since moving from CA I've lost my stitching group and so far have not found anyone in my. immediate area. but I'm good with stitching by myself, less mistakes LOL
Great finish! Pattern and colors are wonderful, I know abother sweet Virgo (DD3) who is a great fan of all purple or eggplant color! Is it your favorite color? xxx
ReplyDeleteYou had a great stitching month, it looks like! Virgo is stunning, will you be stitching any others from this series?
