Z is for Zucchini

 I was craving zucchini bread and decided it would be perfect for the last day of the A to Z Challenge.

 I managed to get my 1200 stitches done on Reptiles! Yipee!

Now, should I start a new project for May? I need something that will be easy to take in the car. Or should I work on one of my many WIP's?

Y is for Year

Melissa over at    Measi"s Musings is hosting a SAL this YEAR for working on your WIP's before the end of the world. (I thought about finding something that I stitched in yellow, but it is time to post for this SAL.) Anyway, this will have a lot of photos of all my projects and where they currently stand.    
Question of the Month: What is your longest running WIP? If you define WIP by something you are working on rather than something you plan on getting back to,my longest running WIP is Reptiles. Everything else is in my UFO pile...
If you want to see my original post HERE it is.

   It would be nice to get a few of my larger projects done....      

X is for X-Stitch

 I know, I know. Everyone uses cross-stitch for x, but what else could I do?

I am no where near 1200 stitches for this month, but I am super close to a page finish!

W is for Warm

 This little kit should be done but has taken me more time than I thought.

I forgot that this piece needed to be backstitched before I started the beading.

V is for Vertical

 Can you even see the vertical stitching?

The black stitching on the left is Vertical Diagonal stitch. I love how Gay Ann has us do layers upon layers.

What to do for W?

U is for Underneath

 I know most stitchers do not show their "backside" and you know I rarely do! This sampler is supposed to be reversible. Obviously, it is not. But I don't think the back is too bad.

 Here is the front of the same section.

T is for Tall (Photo Heavy)

 Tall Year Squared by Betsy Morgan is my big finish of the year. Thanks Diane S. and Mary D. for all your help and encouragement.

 Winter panel.

 Spring panel.

 Lid.

Etui open with scissors fob and pin cube.
Several things I would like to mention if you are thinking about this piece. First, I would stitch on one piece of linen paying attention to the direction of the fabric. Having all the different colors is fun, but the construction would have been better with just one linen piece. Secondly, I would have used mat board instead of pellon to make the box. It is just too wobbly and so the panels bow and the lid does not stay on.
Thank you  Inspirations   
It was from their Issue 93.
