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.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's. 

2022 had it's ups and downs but overall I'd say it was a success!!  I did not accomplish everything I set out to do but I'm ok with that. I'm very proud of what I accomplished. I managed to complete 6 quilts / wall hangings. Published 34 patterns out of 46 along with other miscellaneous projects.

2023 is going to be all about the things that make me happy and getting rid of the things that don't.  I may let some of the patterns that I've designed and not yet tested go and not stress over them. Some blocks that have been completed may be donated. For now I'm not going to stress over it.

I ended 2022 by finishing my Nightmare Before Christmas Jack and Sally blocks by adding the perfect border fabric and adding some frames I had around the house. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!!  I also began making butterflies (they're kind of my thing) using a beautiful and simple patterns by lillyella.com (https://lillyella.com/2015/09/02/butterfly-charm-block-paper-piecing-patterns/). Not 100% sure yet what I'm going to make with them but they make me happy. 

Here are a few photos, sorry they aren't the best. It's been overcast and rainy for the last few days.



The first of 15 butterflies I have completed so far.  I will post a follow up with them all soon.


You can see the swirls in the fabric that made it perfect for NBC!
