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.

New Adventures In Machine Embroidery

I've been playing and learning more about my embroidery machine over the last two weeks.  LOVE IT!  It has it's limitations since it will only take a 4x4 hoop. But I can work with that. Have had some Ooooops moments. But overall I think I've done rather well.


This on will go into a block for my Doctor Who 'Silence In The Library' quilt. Not 100% a Van Gogh but I think it conveys the meaning.

Experimenting with floating my fabric.  LOVE this design!!!

First practice run with thee sunflower design

Made a little mug rug to go on my desk.

Tested out a quilt label idea

Making a sketchbook carrier for my DD to put in her backpack so her sketchbook doesn't get all banged up. This was just the test. Working on the real one now.



SO close!!!! Almost had it all in one go, then on the 3rd one I didn't flip it correctly.  No problem, cut them all apart. Stitched one more correctly and pieced everything together. It was good practice on how to orient the designs!

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
