Year in review and WIP

Well for about a year now I've been really into cross stitching.  I've finished a few smaller projects but this monster is my current WIP. It was started June 8, 2025 and is currently 30% complete.  81,976 stitches complete - 191,302 stitches to go                                      This is what the finished project will look like. Projected finish is early October 2026. Year in review Zelda - 67540 stitches I haven't decided what I'm doing with this one yet.

Foundation paper piecing. My beginning...

My daughter loves Harry Potter among other things.(she is a Ravenclaw while I'm 100% Hufflepuff).  I kept seeing the Project of Doom bookshelf quilt on FandomInStitches.com.  So in September 2019 I started with some simple blocks, the crystal ball and books. I was hooked!!! 
I worked on the quilt top through March 2020. Sadly that is as far as I've gotten thanks to Covid-19 :(. I am hoping to get the rest of what I need so I can finish it up this summer yet.  It really grew and grew and grew and ended up much larger than I expected. But I love it and so does H!!

Here are a few of my favorite blocks. I love the pattern on the tea cup!!





And here is the finished quilt top in all of it's humungous glory!! So many things I love about this!! Working with H to decide which blocks to include, what fabrics, block placement. I learned A LOT along the way!!! The first 2 'pieces' I designed on my own are in this quilt top. An extension to Faulk's tail and the books that Hagrid's umbrella is sitting on.  They were pretty much done on the fly and I don't have them in an official pattern so we're going to leave them as one of a kind blocks.

I took some breaks in between but I'll save those for another post.  To check out these amazing patterns and so many more check out FandomInStitches.com

Rainbow TARDIS - Road Trip Project

What do you do on a long road trip when you're a passenger?  I decided to take up cross stitching which I haven't done in a very, very long time.  I tried taking a photo each day of my progress but I did miss one day during our travels.  This took me a total of 41 days to complete.  Now I just need to decide what I'm going to do with it! Pattern is by Alice Alan and purchased at AICrossStitch on Etsy. 14 count Aida cloth using DMC floss 21,861 stitches
