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.

Bundle of Joy

Babies are always such a blessing.  I made this for my cousin's first baby, due in October. (ok, technically she is my 1st cousin 1x removed, yeah I'm a genealogy nerd too) She LOVES Beauty and the Beast so I just had to incorporate that into the quilt somewhere even though she is having a boy.  I am so thrilled with how this came out and I can't wait to give it to her this weekend!!

Most of the patterns came from FandomInStitches.com with the exception of the teddy bear and the pig (aka Charlotte's web).  The bear pattern I made up and will get it posted here at some point when I fix all of the errors in the pattern.  The pig pattern is from Quilting in Amsterday. I just hand stitched a spider and web in the corner.

I still need LOTS of practice with free motion quilting but I had so much fun. 

Here are some close ups of the blocks. The lighting wasn't great. Hopefully I will get some better pics with the mommy-to-be this weekend.












Here are some of the blocks pre-assembly. These are much clearer photos.

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
