My Stitch-Tober 2023 Cross Stitch is Done!

I completed this yesterday.

This is my unconventional but personal favorite way to finish my cross stitch.

I have previously posted a tutorial for my method

 on a my Quilty Love cross stitch finish.

Thanks to all of you who have followed along with the kitties and I

 for all our stitch and sew efforts.

My mystery ...

I have been sitting and stitching the last few days.

Yesterday was a fall nor-eastern in New England 

which came flowing up the gulf stream

 and deluging rain all day and into the night.

We got more rain in 24 hours than for Hurricane Lee 

and our cellar is wet again from the over saturated ground.

Fortunately it is sunny day today 

for drying everything out. 

I am taking my stitching out to my yard in a few minutes to enjoy the sun.

I am getting a head start on

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 40

It seems my vision issues allow me to choose one or the other and when I need to take a break from one, I need to take a break from the other. 

I have also been helping Mr. Scrapatch who is replacing the ceiling and light in one of the bedrooms. In all honesty, he is doing all the actual work of tearing out the old and replacing with the new. My contribution is more as support staff. 

No photos of this mess. 

Day 4 is done for my version of the

I played with the colors in the original block for the Witch Hat ...

I started this project HERE

I did my first stitches outside on my covered deck 

where it was pleasant to sit and stitch but the light was not the best for my vision issues.

I have the number 3 done and number 1 begun.

I started this last week ... 

Cross Stitch Wednesday Started Here

As you can see, I am a very slow stitcher and one day a week may not be enough to 

get this one done for this Halloween.

I hope to have it finished, but I am okay if it is not.

Time will tell.

Happy Fall Stitching! 

Loving this adorable purple gingham "OCT 31" cross stitch motif! 

I am starting a new weekly post series.

This will be a weekly update of my cross stitching progress.

I have chosen Wednesday because every Wednesday I enjoy 

Fat Quarter Shop Flosstube with Kimberly Jolly

It is live at 9:00am Central US Time.

It is so inspiring!

I will never be able to stitch all the wonderful projects that I see here.

I do like to pick one and slowly stitch along at my own pace.
