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.

Getting into the holiday spirit

I've hung this beauty on the only wall that it fits on without the bottom row being hidden 😀 All of these blocks are from the 2019 Fandom In Stitches Rankin and Bass quilt along (http://www.fandominstitches.com/search/label/rankinbassqal).  Obviously I selected all of the Rudolph characters for my quilt but, there are SO many more blocks for you to chose from including other Rudolph characters. It was just getting so big I had to stop somewhere. 

The only change I made on mine was I printed the pattern for Clarice in a mirrored image so she would be facing Rudolph. I also changed to title block which is designed to be a square block. I just spaced it out to fit across the top of my quilt. If I had it to do over I would space it out a bit differently. I hope you like it!

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
