I hope you have time to read all of this post since I have four projects to show you today.
Halloween Wizard G aka The Witch
This project came from TEMU. Here is what it's supposed to look like:
This is a kit using cotton thread and 18 ct fabric that appears to be Aida. This is the only project I'm not keeping stitch count on as it's just something I work on when I need to rest my back.
Here is where it was the last time I wrote about it:
The empty spaces are where beads are supposed to go. This project is broken up into four parts: two big and two small. This is the first big part. Here is where I am now:
I'm not happy with the beads. They came with the kit and to me, they're just too big. They've basically clumped together and don't make a very pleasing design. If I decide to do this again, I'll use smaller beads.
Stitchinati: The All Sewing Eye
This project was designed and charted by Morti Bromilow aka Mad Morti over on YouTube. If you're interested in getting a copy for yourself, she is selling them on her shop Hare Moon Crafts.
I am working this on 25ct Black Lugana using mostly DMC floss. Here is what it's supposed to look like:
Here is where I am last time I talked about this:
This gold is a blend of yellow cotton thread and gold metallic. It's not fun to stitch with, but I push through because it does look so cool.
Here is where I am at 862 stitches:
I'm following Morti's instructions on how to stitch this to the letter so it will come out with the 3d look she designed for it.
Peppermint Purple Stitch A Long(SAL)2023
I'm still having fun with the black work stitch. I'm working it on 25ct Natural Lugana using the called for DMC floss in the Turquoise set. Here is where I at last time:
These squares are only 17 by 17, but they contain a lot of detail!
Here is where I am with this week's filler. I'm up to about 8,697 stitches too.
I decided just to show the square this week, to show you more of the detail.
Last but never least is my oldest project at over a year old in the making:
The Land Baby
This is a chart made from a famous painting, and I have the link to it in last week's post. The charter isn't named, but I am so grateful to them for doing this! I am working this project on 18 ct White Aida using all DMC floss.
Here is where I was last week:
I was actually able to get quite a bit done on this during the past week: 600 stitches!! That brings my total for the right side up to 4,600! I didn't keep count last year when I was working on the left side. I did write about it so you can check out the posts from last year on it if you're interested.
Here is where I am now:
Next week, I'll unfold the project so you can see the entire piece. It's coming along nicely let me tell you!!
Plans:
I hope to have the triangle on Stitchinati done by the end of the week so I can move on to the bobbin and needle inside of it.
For Land Baby, I plan to have the last square in the column done and then, I'm going to be working in rows again. This section is the second third of the entire piece. I know I'll have it done this year!
The SAL will get another square filled in, and I'm also going to outline another five. I don't plan to start work on the outer border until I get more of the outer squares done. I want to make sure my count is right so I can stop finagling things.
The Witch is a project I work on from time to time, but I do plan to have the first small section done, or as much of it as I can, this week.
So there you have it! Another productive stitching week! I'll see you on the flipside and don't forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!!
