So I'm a little late with the January wrap-up, but there's a good reason. I did stick with my plan of trying to get 2K tent stitches into Animal Kingdom for 4 weeks, so there are over 8K stitches in it now. You can even see another animal and some books:
Amazing Animal Kingdom by Aimee Stewart
stitched 2 over 1 tent stitch on 32 ct Chromatic Alchemy fabric as charted
I'm looking forward to picking this back up this month and catching up a bit. I did get a little behind as I got a little obsessed by finishing one of my older projects.
Was it this one?
Full Moon by Cute Patterns by Maria
stitched 2 over 2 on 28ct Lazurite by Chromatic Alchemy as charted
No, although it was really nice to finish this one up as well. It's over 4500 cross stitches (in Pattern Keeper for easy counting) plus you have to add all that backstitch in. These are so pretty, but don't start them if you're not a fan of blends. There are always a lot in her charts.
And it wasn't this newest finish either:
Love by Durene Jones (Facebook freebie)
stitched as charted 2 over 1 on metallic finish perforated paper
This will be for DD, just have to cut it out and add some felt and a ribbon to the backing.
Then it must be this one:
Princess and the Dragon by Charting Creations
stitched 1 over 1 DMC 310 full cross on 28ct Amarinthine by Chromatic Alchemy
I still can't really believe I've finished this one. I started in 2015, around the time Nikki started up Charting Creations I think. This was my very first piece of Chromatic Alchemy fabric as well. I had won it from a giveaway Sam had on her FB page and that's what made me sign up for her FOTM club.
It's over 53,000 stitches and although there are a few mistakes, no one will be able to tell what they are. Now to decide how to FFO this, it definitely needs to get hung up on the wall soon.
I hope you've all been well and are staying safe. New plans for February involve getting back to the 2K stitches per week on Animal Kingdom and trying to focus on some small or medium size WIPs when I've accomplished that so I can get some more finishes in before the start of Mischievous March. I am looking forward to something new and I'll likely keep the starts small to not add too much to the WIP pile.
Happy Stitching!

Thank you!
DeleteWohoo!!!! You must have been so excited. Love them all but Wow it's just gorgeous. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, it's still pretty exciting to have finished. :)
DeleteCongratulations on your The Princess and the Dragon finish, it's a super piece. Lovely Valentine's stitching too
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThree fabulous finishes?! The Princess and the Dragon looks amazing, especially on that fabric. But maybe she's actually knighting the dragon instead of slaying it? Wishful thinking?
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been stitching up a storm this month! Congratulations on all three wonderful finishes. You must be so pleased to have Princess and the Dragon finally finished. Now all you need is another all-black chart to replace it for times when you need something really easy to stitch! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you certainly had a productive month! To finish Princess and the Dragon so early in the year is a great achievement. And the others too! Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, Princess and the D are stunning! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have not visited nearly enough blog posts in the past couple of years. Princess and the Dragon is gorgeous and I love Full Moon, too. Beautiful work!
