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.

Look what I got!!!!

I am SOOOO excited! It's not new but it's new to me and I'm so excited to dive into machine embroidery to enhance and embellish my quilting and sewing. I need a lot more practice with lining things up and figuring out the font sizes and all. But I'm going to have so much fun as I go! This is a Brother Innov-is 500D.  Perfect entry level embroidery machine.

Finishing projects

 Here are a couple of projects I finished in the last week or so. A chandelier style pattern as a wall hanging to put in my almost complete dining room.  It's going to look amazing!! This started life as a butterfly using 2" squares but I wasn't loving it. So I had a date with Jack and took it apart and started over. So glad I did. Love how this turned out!! Here it is actually up on the wall.  This pic shows the colors better. Original butterfly pattern I also finished this block from LOTR. I added to the top of it to have room for the quote which I added using HTV. It says "Not all those who wander are lost".  Not sure yet where it's going to go but I'm happy it's complete!
