How time flies when you are having fun! I was just reviewing my October progress and November goals in regards to my cross stitch. October felt amazing! Only 2 starts, but 6 stitch finishes, and even 1 Final Finish! What a great feeling.
I am looking at my November goals and I sure am optimistic. I have myself starting 3 new projects and finishing 6 again this month and even made a list of 6 possible final finishes. Whew! And that is with a holiday and much travel. Hmmm. Oh well, if you don’t reach for the stars, you never get there.
Starts & Finishes
No new starts or finishes.
Final Finishes
No new final finishes.
Works in Progress
As you may have recalled we were in Chicago when this week began. I only took one project with me so it is not surprising that I spent a lot of time on this project and didn’t work on very many other projects. This next week will be a bit different.
Autumn Beauties 2021 SAL with Fat Quarter Shop
I worked on this project mostly. Although, I felt we was always on the move over the weekend from airport to hotel to rink, etc. Of course, you have to eat as well. When you go with the whole team, it does not leave much free time. I managed to finish my border and start working on the sunflowers. I hope to finish page one of the chart this upcoming week.
Bats & Boos 2021 SAL with Fat Quarter Shop
Woohoo! I am so close to finishing this one that I am not going to let up until I am done with this one! I finished one side of the border Wednesday night and will continue working on this each week.
Oracle Quaker Halloween 2021 SAL by Oracle Facebook Group
I wanted to get page 3 of this SAL from last year done before putting away for another year. Stitching on 14 Ct Fabric Flair Cobweb with DMC 310 and leftover from Bats & Boos Weeks Dye Works oranges.
Upcoming
I finally get to spend a whole week at home before we head off to another hockey weekend on the 18th. I’ve set some very big goals for myself this coming week:
- Finish the bottom border of Bats & Boos
- Start Nov 9 path
- Start Prim Stitch #9
- Work on MFE2021SAL project April page
- Finish Center of August Cottage of the Month
- FFO: Let’s Talk Autumn Hoop
Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Your cross stitch work is so pretty. LOVE that gingham pattern on the cross stitch – I might have to purchase that pattern. How do your kitties fare when you are gone?
It took a while to figure out how to stitch a gingham pattern in cross stitch, but learned to do the medium color first, then everything is easy. The patter is call Autumn Beauties by Fat Quarter Shop. I can’t remember off the top of my head if this was a purchased pattern or free. My kitties get spoiled by my nephew when I am gone. It’s still not the same as when I am here all day everyday, but they appreciate the special treats he feeds them and the cuddle time.
