WIPocalypse 2016 – October


This month's theme is: What online stitching communities do you enjoy? I've been on Blogger for 4 years now (Wow! Time passes fast), before that I didn't have much of a presence online as I was more of a lurker than participator. Since then I've become more active on Facebook and Instagram. I don't post on my personal Facebook page but I do help manage Virtual Threads' Facebook page. Click the link to check us out :) I have a HUGE feed of blogs that I go thru every morning and share what I find on there for others to check out so in that way I'm very much involved. However even with that I'm still a lurker :P I'm horribly awkward when leaving comments so don't think I'm not reading your posts. I am, I just don't comment.

Fandango got a lot of love this month. I had planned on concentrating on the four small squares but that didn't go as planned. Instead I ended up finishing the center square and a whole lot of bullion stitches that go all around the piece. There are close up pictures in a previous post here and here. Right now the goal is to finish up all the bullions that go within the piece.


I finished my beaded fob Hana. The next step for this piece is working on a scissor case to go with it. There was a delay in starting that as I didn't have enough of the 3-cut black beads. I finally have those but I think I want to get all those bullions on Fandango done first.


I didn't get those olive green leaves done this month on Fleurs de Sakura. I will try again for next check-in.


No update on Fantasy Lace.

I took Bramble and the Rose to my guild stitch meeting and got a tiny bit in there, but not enough to warrant an update pick. I spent most of the evening swapping book titles with the guild librarian. Love books!

Still hidden away poor dragons. But, putting stitches into this piece is the last goal I have for this year. So this means that by the last WIPocalypse post there will be some progress on it.

    difficult to choose a favourite here, love all these projects and they are all difficult pieces, the Fleurs de Sakura looks very interesting.

    Four years is quite a while, I've had my blog for 5.5 now. I just noticed that I have never officially "followed" you so I've rectified that now.
    Lovely work on Fandango this month but I really think the little dragons deserve some love before the end of the year!

    Fandango is gorgeous. I have always loved Hardanger embroidery, but I have yet to try it. You have a wide variety of beautiful projects in progress.
