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
A little something I've been wanting to make for myself. I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings when I was in middle school and fell in love with them. This design is based off of the 1937 First Edition dust jacket designed by Tolkien. Although I believe the version with the red sun is actually a redesign for the 50th anniversary.
I've got some time to sew while I await more background fabric to complete the rest of the Julie and the Phantoms blocks I figured I'd squeeze this beauty in.
The design is by Gretchen Kohlhaas and the pattern can be found at fandominstitches.com along with loads of other Hobbit and LOTR designs.
