Rainbow TARDIS - Road Trip Project

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

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!
