WIPocalypse April 2026

 This is Melissa's brain child and I just tag along for the fun of it 😂

Question for April - what is your oldest WIP? Mine is Venetian Delight by Ro Pace . I have a picture of it somewhere... 

I have worked on a lot of things in April. The bad thing was I started two big projects! What was I thinking?

North Carolina Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework.

And Fanny Johns by the Wishing Thorn 

Phoenix Band Sampler is moving forward 

As is Poppers 

Harmony of Nature Casket - making wings for my oxen 

Progress, I guess.

This is going to take a while...

 North Carolina Sampler by Heart's Ease Exampler Works 

Moving Forward

 Phoenix Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework 

Next step is the bargello section.

Stitching with Friends

 I spent the day with my local EGA and made progress on Poppers by Kathy Rees.

I didn't take any pictures of the stitching going on around me. But take my word for it!

Fanny Johns Workshop

 Tudor Rose Sampler Guild had Birgit Tolman of the Wishing Thorn teach an online workshop.

So another new start! 40 count coffee stain linen by Cedar River with Crescent Colorworks Belle Soie.

More Colors

 Poppers by Kathy Rees 

These squares are so much fun to stitch. My colors are a little wild, but it makes me happy 😊.

Love the Colors

 

But each flame takes a while.
