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.
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.
