July Stitch from Stash and Pie

 It's time for Pie:






I stitched my full fortnight on Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow for possibly the last time!  Here's where I started the month:



Here's the Block 12 progress:


And here's the whole piece:

stitched over 1 on 25 count Cassia Rose from Chromatic Alchemy

So far the number of days is:

Block 7 - 13 days
Block 6 - 16 days
Block 2 - 19 days
Block 3 - 20 days
Block 4 - 15 days
Block 1 - 19 days
Block 5 - 25 days
Block 8 - 15 days
Block 9 - 27 days
Block 10 - 31 days
Block 11 - 32 days
Block 12 - 25 days and counting


Little Snapdragon was the focus for the rest of the month, from here:


to here:

stitched on 32 count Evening Sky Murano from Crafty Kitten



My evening stitching was split between the Stitch It Picasso Temperature SAL and Turn, Turn, Turn from Noteworthy Needle:






Finally, Stitch from Stash and I did actually spend some money this month on supplies.  I needed the fabric for Turn, Turn, Turn and managed to get the exact fabric from Create Nostalgia in the UK.  I only needed a small piece but it's a pretty colour and looking at next year's plans there are two or three designs which will look good on it too.  Then I had to get the Just Cross Stitch Halloween Special as it's not included in the subscription and I like a paper copy anyway.

It seems the completion of the Halloween work is approaching.And, dragons are delicate and beautiful.
Do you count stitches and time you make a piece? Have you been counting all this time?

Fantastic progress on your Halloween piece. And the snapdragon is so lovely & intricate. I like your stash purchases too, always enjoy the JCS special issues.
