| Berry Patch Rooster |
It has been a long time since I posted a WIPocalypse update. I thought it would be a good time, since I actually have a finish.
I finished stitching "Berry Patch Rooster". I picked up this project as a kit while on vacation in 2012. I didn't start stitching it until 2013, and then it was just a bit of stitching here and there, as I rotated between projects.
I did select this project for a focus month and made some good progress. I have kept it close by for the past couple of months ... so I could toss in a few stitches when I had time. The back stitching took longer than expected, but I did manage to finish it this week. Hooray! I'm not sure if I will frame it, or make it into a pillow.
Another project I worked on recently is Bothy Threads "Cut Thru' Haunted House". This is still one of my favorite projects to stitch. I did all of the back stitching on the roof and bedroom. I completed the bats, moon, and flag on the right side, and continued stitching downwards. The image below shows where I left off during my last update:
I worked on a few other projects in the past few months, and will update them as I get them photographed.
Question of the Month: Which of your project finishes made you the most proud? The most relieved?
Gosh, I guess I have some WIPs that I will be most relieved to finish someday. (ha-ha)
One that I was proud to finish was this one:
Back in the 90's, I found this kit and wanted to stitch it for my Dad. A 1928 Ford Model A (he restored antique cars most of his life). I can't remember how long it took to stitch, but I did finish and frame it for him for his birthday. I wish I had a better picture of it.
I guess that's all for my update. I can't wait to see what everyone else has accomplished. Happy Stitching!
