The pattern is by The Witchy Stitcher. The fabric is 18 ct. aida in the color Mirage by Picture This Plus. This is one of a set of three that The Witchy Stitcher released for her shop's birthday.

The stitchalong actually ended last November, but I am finally finished!

The pattern is by Shingorengeki on DeviantArt, aka NeedleMinderLair on Etsy (although the version of this pattern on Etsy is different--I bought this one from her directly in 2014). The fabric is standard 20 ct. Lugana.

The quilt pattern for 2020 has the highs and lows; the tree pattern for 2021 has just the highs. Both patterns are by StitchinMommy on Etsy.

Cryptid Stitchalong

The pattern is by The Witchy Stitcher. The fabric is 18 ct. aida in the color Colonial Parchment from Fabrics by Stephanie. It's a little more brown than it looks in the photo.
This is both the largest thing I've ever stitched and the first SAL I've ever finished (I have 2 more in craft prison I should get back to).
Ghost Town
Jan. 11th, 2020 12:56 pm
This was a kit from the Mill Hill Buttons & Beads Autumn Series. I did not get it done in time for Halloween. I didn’t even get it done in time for New Year’s.
Most of the beads don’t show up very well, but there are a lot of shiny, shiny beads in this. The ghosts are outlined in glow-in-the-dark thread. And I decided to go with a plum frame over the recommended purple iris.
Temperature Map 2019
Jan. 1st, 2020 02:51 pmI spent 2019 stitching the local weather. Each block represents the high temperature for that day and each color represents a five degree span.
Highs for December ranged from 24°F on December 10 to 62°F on December 26. Highs for 2019 ranged from -11°F on January 30 to 95°F on July 20. (Stats for 2018 can be found here.)
And that’s that for this piece of plastic canvas. This year I plan to do the highs and lows, and I also need to squeeze in an extra day for leap year, so I’ll be using the same colors with a different pattern.

Gryffindor Crest

Pattern by The World in Stitches.
This was a retirement gift for a friend I've been coworkers with for 22 years. She's a huge Harry Potter fan. It was really fun to stitch, too. I loved the colors.
Temperature Map 2018
Jan. 1st, 2019 02:46 pmI spent 2018 stitching the local weather. Each block represents the high temperature for that day and each color represents a five degree span.
Highs for 2018 ranged from 2°F on January 1 to 96°F on May 27.
Since we never got above 100°F or below 0°F, there are still five colors on the chart I never got to use, so I’m just going to do this again next year on the other half of this plastic canvas.
P.S. -- The floss key I used is here.

Yet Another Chibi
Sep. 25th, 2018 12:03 pmHave a chibi human Derek Hale to go with chibi werewolf Derek Hale.
Pattern by YijiCrafts on Etsy (aka YijiTumbles on Tumblr) based on her own adorable fan art. I would link to the pattern, but her Etsy shop is on hiatus and I can’t get to it.
I've had this done except for the eyes since February. What happened was that for some reason one of the colors for his eyes instantly turned the same color as his skin as soon as I added the last stitch. It looked kind of weird, so I proceeded to rip out and redo his eyes. And then again. And then again in different colors so many times I’m surprised I didn’t wear a hole in my aida.
This is what I finally settled on. I’m not 100% in love with it, but I’ve tried so many colors that I think this is as good as it’s going to get. In any event, I’m ready to work on something else now.

Pattern by VickieDesigns on Etsy. I would normally link to the pattern, but her shop is on hiatus.
I swapped out the original red (DMC 349) for DMC 321 because I like my reds a little bolder.
Mini Wetterhorn
Pattern by Tereena Clarke of Artecy Cross Stitch based on a painting by Joseph Anton Koch.
Stitch parking level 2: achievement unlocked. I can't tell you how many times I went to park a thread and found another thread already parked there. I think I properly fixed everything I caught, but goodness only knows if this looks anything like it was supposed to.
The second picture is a distance shot because this pattern was done in the pointillist style, so the farther away you stand, the more detailed it looks.

I Made a Silly Thing
Mar. 11th, 2017 08:04 pmMonty Python and the Holy Grail pattern by Weelittlestitches on Etsy.
This project was a great disappointment for me. The pattern was so cute, but it didn't come with a fabric color suggestion and, left to my own devices, I chose exactly the wrong one. To be fair, every fabric color I looked at was either the exact same color as one of the characters or clashed wildly with one of the other colors. I'd hoped the parchment color was just different enough that the white would show up on it, but I was wrong and had to add some backstitching to all the white bits. Boo.
Anyway, it's done. Click to embiggen.

V for Vendetta
Feb. 18th, 2017 06:25 pmPattern by Cloudsfactory.
This is just a little thing I felt compelled to start on Inauguration Day. For some reason.

I Made Another Thing

Pattern by StitchBucket on Etsy.
I had intended to have this finished by Halloween, but I guess I'll have to settle for being super early for next Halloween.
