New Update Solo September

Here is my latest update on my Solo September piece - this is a great event hosted by Justine  .. She is super great at organizing these One At A Time Stitch alongs.

This has been stitching up quicker than I thought it would, and I really believe it will be finished by the end of the month.  This is Silent Night Cardinals by Stoney Creek


I have spent some of my time organizing all of my WIPS.  I have joined a Facebook Group called the Soulful Stitching Sisters and the admin has organized a Year of Wips challenge - from October 1 - December 2017.  I am using my membership in this group to try to finish some of these WIPS of long ago - I started for a special reason, and even though my stitching tastes have changed over time, these are still the ones I want to finish 

This is one of those challenges I think so many of the members are posting videos - but I am not there yet - so I am adding my pictures.  I have updated my blog pages to reflect this challenge and we will see how it goes.  I do  have some personal goals - and they do not include turning all of my WIPS into finishes.

Have a wonderful day.

  8. Great Solo September progress! Those cardinals are beautiful and look like they could be a finish soon.
    Your SAL sounds fun. I tried to reduce my WIPS this year but with a couple of new starts I'm almost back to where I started! But at least they are different projects and I got some larger WIPS finished.

  9. Great progress, Melinda, on this lovely piece.
    That FB group sounds very interesting. My plans for next year are very similar. This year I have had a year of uncontrolled starts, lol, next year I want to finish some of the WIPs that have been sitting in two large boxes for quite a while - at least longer than wo years. Let's see how successful we will be :)

  11. Your cardinals look lovely!
    I saw Melanie's Flosstube clip about that Soulful Stitches WIP challenge - great idea! I like the idea of sending postcards to keep everyone motivated and inspired! Good luck with your WIPs :o)
    Next year I am hoping to spend more time getting some of my WIPs finished but there are always new starts teasing me!!
    Hugs xx

  12. Lovely cardinals and close to a finish too.
    I think the Year of WIPs SAL is a great idea, especially the postcard encouragement.
    I'm sticking with WIPocalypse because I want to focus on two BAPs next year.
