April Wipocaplypse (Photo Heavy

 Well, I have been stitching and have made some progress on my projects.

This SAL is the brainchild of  Melissa over at Measi's Musings . The question of the month is: Let's talk fabric- what is your go-to fabric dyer, your preferred type, count, color, etc? Personally, I love BeStitchMe fabrics . I like all colors and try to collect as many as possible. But my preferred count would be 40 or 45 count linen.

Here are my projects, in no particular order-

Pour ta Fete:

 Mary Fosh-Running with Needles and Thread:

Goldwork hedgehogs:

Hapsburg Lace Needlecase-Tanya Berlin:

Limonera Pear:

Mushrooms-Stitched Stories:

And two finishes! Quaker Hornbook by With Thy Needle:

And Janette Kirkland-Queenstown Sampler Designs:

This may need some cording, but maybe next month.

Section Done

 

I need to decide what to put in the center. Beads? Sparkly threads.

New Project

 I started a new project for traveling. It is from Stitched Stories. I didn't get the kit but kitted it from my stash.

I love it! I will try to finish it this year.

Gifted Gorgeousness for April

 I finally finished this book cover for my mom. I hope she likes it.

 

 

Working on Another Pear

 I'm not sure I like the metallic thread I'm using. It's DMC gold thread. I think I will rip it out and find something else.

Rats!

 Counting is important. Ripping some of the border on Mary Fosh by Running with Needles and Scissors.

Trying to Make Progress

 

I've started working on this every morning. 

A Few Stitches

 Mary Fosh by Running with Needle and Scissors has been calling me. I changed the threads to Vicki Clayton silks. I also am trying to be more regular on the flowers on the border. 

Check Your Count!

 Well, I started Bees in the Greenhouse on Silver Fox that I thought was 40 count. But I was struggling to stitch it with the DMC. So I checked. It was 46 count! So I decided to change my fabric rather than changing my threads.

I'm moving to 37 count Cloudburst by Legacy linens.

I will probably change the white DMC to a grey. 

Calendar for February and March

 

February

March

Nothing exciting. Maybe I can remember to do a Wipocalpse post this month. I did start all the things!
