Meeting Goals

 Happy Monday Friends!

 

I’m so happy to share with you two recent cross stitch finishes.  These were on my WIPS-B-GONE challenge list I posted about last week.

 

I stitched this one last year and then put it in a drawer.  I mounted it on a pumpkin from Hobby Lobby.


 

Chart Name: Trick or Treat

Designer: Stitching with the Housewives

Fabric: 14 count Aida, Chalkboard Black by Witchelt

Stitch Count: 111 x 139

Finished Size: 8” x 10”

Floss: Use the called for Classic Colorworks

Start date: 9/27/20  End date: 11/1/20

Current status is FFO (fully finished object)

 

Next finish I mounted on a board that came in a kit from Lela Mae Designs.  They are no longer in business.


 

Chart Name: This Is Halloween (Part of the Back Up The Truck Series)

Designer: Stitching with the Housewives

Fabric: 14 count Aida, Chalkboard Black by Witchelt

Stitch Count: 98 x 109

Finished Size: 7” x 8”

Floss: Use the called for Classic Colorworks

Start date: 9/2/21  End date: 9/27/21

Current status is FFO (fully finished object)

 

I have one more goal for WIPS-B-GONE Challenge Quarter 1.  With two weeks left, I feel fairly confident that I will meet that one as well.


 

Are you working on old WIPS or starting new projects?  I’d love to know.

You're blogging again! I'm so sorry I've missed your posts! WIPs-Be-Gone sounds like something I should do. Your finishes are darling! I wonder why Lela Mae went out of business. She was doing really well I think plus wasn't she giving retreats down here in AR? I hope she's okay.
I'm not sure I could do such great finishing jobs as you and The Housewives do....so lovely! I love their patterns. I need to do more of them plus they're not as big as some projects. I love how yours turned out! Congrats on a job well-done!

I know I was following you at one time, but I certainly didn't get a notice for this post or the last, so I signed up again thru bloglovin. Wow I love these finishes, what a creative way to finish them and mounting on that pumpkin is fantastic!

Congrats on finishing two of your WIPS - that's always a good feeling! I love anything Halloween, so your projects are right in my wheelhouse. They're both adorable!

Great finishes! I am working on a very old WIP. When I started it, I was just making sections with no real plan. It should be finished this month. So yay!
