June: Night Rider FFO


Time for the Fully Finished Gallery Check In
The aim of  Rachael's SAL is to encourage cross stitchers to fully-finish (at least some of) their projects, whether they have been recently completed or long-since neglected.

I had several projects lined up to FFO for this month's update. I was only able to complete one, my April Halloween Ornament. Hope to make some progress on the pieces that and pinned and ready for lacing.

June 2019 Update




Well it appears that I slept through June. Just one single post. I did manage to get some stitching done. I finished three small pieces last month.
June is finished. I think, I have only 4 more months to stitch. Still not sure how I'll finish these.

The theme for the June Halloween Ornie SAL was Witch. I stitched Family Portrait from 2013 Just Cross Halloween Ornament Magazine. I couldn't find any of my Tokens and Trifles perforated paper so I used regular white perforated paper.

My main WIP is still Halloween at Hollyberry Farm.
I finally started on the first floor. For the month of July, Melissa of the FB WIPocalypseSAL page has challenged us to a July One-Per-Day Event. The object is to pick a project and stitch at least one stitch on it each day. I'll be working on HRH again.

April Wrap Up Smalls and All

I am super excited about the Smalls SAL check-in for this month. I have some finishes to celebrate. I used two of the motifs from Stitch-Creation's pincube to stitch a floss tag holder and a pinkeep. I'm almost done with the assembly, just need to decide how to finish the edges.

Finish number two is "Growing Love" Stitcher's Wallet. This is now on the top of the To-Be-Finished pile.
My altered Altoid tin is finish number three. Yeah! The theme for the Halloween Ornie SAL was tombstone. While I found myself with several good candidates to stitch I had a hard time making up my mind. I was running out of time when I decided on the tombstone from one of the panels of Drac-in-the-Box, JCS Halloween 2013. I got out some graph paper and made up the two tombstones on either side, then used it as a Tin-Topper.

February's Smalls Check in

I managed a finish this month. After changing my mind several times I found this chart by Julia Lucas Designs in Just Cross Stitch, 2013 Halloween Ornament Issue. The model uses beads for some of the bones but I just used floss and plain cross stitch. I stitched it last week and did the finishing over the weekend. I also finished the Moon Witch from last month's Halloween Ornie SAL.
