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.

Mug Rugs

  Mug rugs!! Quick and fun.   The tea cup pattern is from Fandominstitches.com (Project of Doom week 27). The hearts are appliqued using Heat N Bond light.  They make a perfect quick gift. Finished size: 12" x 5.5" This one was gifted to my Aunt for her birthday. She sent me this photo 💖

Hearts

  This was fun and so relaxing to put together! Just randomly grabbed some larger scraps of fabric and cut 2" squares. The white background is also 2" squares but you could do strips if you wanted to. The red border I cut at 2.5" and the binding is the leftover 2" color blocks.  This would make such a cute baby blanket just by either cutting the squares larger or adding more hearts. I think that will have to be a future project!! Finished size is approximately 24" x 24" When testing out different layouts. I initially had 2 different white background fabrics. One is plain white and the other has a tone on tone print. Eventually I decided I wanted all of the hearts to have the print so made 2 more for the final project. The 2 using the plain white fabric I made into the small 12 x 24 hanging. Some of the different layout options I tried. I think this first one would be really cute with a secondary pattern in the center.
