WIPs

I was reading Karen's blog over at Stitching and Sharing and it got me to thinking about my WIPs (work in progress).  She inspired me to get crackin' and record my WIPs today too.

I think this will help me keep track of what I still have to finish stitching.  It will be fun to see how I progress.  So here goes in order of oldest to most recent.

Design:  I Sigh Not For Beauty

Designer:  C Street Samplerworks

Fabric:  32 ct. Dirty Linen

Floss:  My conversion to NPI and HDF

Started:  3/5/11

This project was one of Ellen Chester's 2011 newsletter SALs.  As you can see I made a little more progress since the picture in my post the other day was taken back in October.  I spy the beginnings of a house!

I really have really enjoyed stitching this one and will miss stitching it when I'm done.  Have you ever stitched something like that?

Design:  ???

Designer:  ???

Fabric:  7 ct. Monk's Cloth

Floss:  DMC

Re-Started:  5/1/11?

Does anyone know the designer or design name of this one?  I've been working from a sketch from an old snapshot since I can't find the chart.  Doh!  I'm just sure nobody else has ever done that.  Winks!   Umm...yep, moving on now.  LOL

Seriously, I don't know what posessed me to do this on Monk's Cloth.  At this point there's just too much work done to toss it so I'll most likely continue on with it.  It's obviously been bagged long enough.  Just look at the raveling on the edges.  Geesh!  It really is true, once you stitch on linen you never go back!

Design:  Jolly Jack

Designer:  All Through The Night

Fabric:  30 ct. WDW Putty

Floss:  WDW as charted

Started:  9/9/11

This one I started at the Tiara retreat and I bought the fabric when I was at the Shepherd's Bush retreat in 2010.  There's just something about that pumpkin!  I'm a sucker for vintage looking jack o'lanterns.  Love those oak leaves too. 

Design:  What A Cut Up freebie

Designer:  Patrick's Woods

Fabric:  32 ct. antique white scrap

Floss:  My DMC conversion (1over 1)

Started:  10/12/11

This one needs some frogging before I can finish it up.  I've been putting it off since it's over 1.  It's not good to try stitching over one late into the night/wee hours of the morning.  Ask me how I know?  Yep, that's why there's frogging to do.

Design:  Santa's Buddies (from 2009 JCS Ornaments)

Designer:  Angel Stitchin

Fabric:  28 ct. lambswool

Floss:  DMC and GAST as charted

Started:  11/27/11

This one is really close to being done and I'll most likely finish it soon since it's been my lunchtime stitch.  Even though the holiday is over, I'll still at least finish the stitching.  Whether I ornamentify it before the holidays roll around again remains to be seen.

Design:  Blue Ribbon Sewing Box

Designer:  Patrick's Woods

Fabric:  32 ct. antique white as kitted

Floss:  Silk as kitted

Started:  12/29/11

This one has been such an enjoyable stitch thus far and is working up nicely.  I'm loving the happy colors in it.  I think this will be another one that I'll miss spending time with when it's done.  I'd like to get it done in the next eight weeks.  We'll see how that shakes out. 

So there you are, all my WIPs in one place.  That was actually kind of fun to do.  Did any of you record your WIPs somewhere?  Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check them out.

Thanks so much for your visiting with me today.  I hope you got a kick out of seeing what's up in my world.  Happy stitching!

Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher
