I forgot to post this blog! I did it way back the first part of October, and here it is November 23. Oh well, I’m posting it anyway!
The Soulful Stitchers group on facebook is having a challenge to work on and finish WIPs. It started October 1 and runs through December 31, 2017.
Out of my gazillion WIPs and UFOs, I have picked 12 to concentrate on, and here they are in no particular order.
The first one is my Halloween House, and it is sooooo close to being finished! I just have to do the back stitching. Can I tell you how exicting that is to me? The pattern is by Imaginating, and I started it January 2012. (I know I just showed a photo of this, but I’m putting it here too.)
Santa’s Village also made the cut. This is a series of different Christmas-y stores designed by Country Cottage. I decided to put all of mine on one piece of fabric. I started this in September 2013, and I have two finished.
Next up is Very Scary Mystery Sampler by Lizzie Kate. I just started this one on September 30, 1016, and it was just a few stitches…enough to call it a WIP.
This one is Pumpkin Patach Farm by Victoria Samplers. I started it in June 2012. I just love autumn themes.
Things Unseen Mystery Sampler by Lizzie Kate, started December 2014.
Blue Jeans and Daisies Mystery Sampler by Blue Ribbon Designs. I started it January 2013. (Can you tell I have a thing for Mystery stitching?)
And here we have Petit Trianon, a needlepoint piece. I think this was offered as a chapter project by Cyberpointers Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild.
Wildpea and Longhorn Moth is a stumpwork piece by Jane Nicholas, one of my all time favorite teacher and designers. I took this as a class at the Embroidery Guild National Seminar in September 2011. I am very close to being finished with this piece.
Love your chosen WIPs for the YoW challenge. Look forward to seeing progress on them all (and some finishes!!)

Lots of lovely pieces to work on. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you accomplish.
What an interesting collection of WIPs. I like all the cross stitched pieces and I always enjoy seeing needlepoint even though I don't do it myself.
Happy New Year Lisa!
