Cross-Stitch WIPs

Here are my current cross-stitch WIPs.

Addie’s Window

My focus piece is Addie’s Window, artwork by Scott Gustafson, charted by Heaven & Earth Designs, max colors. This is being stitched 1 over 1, full cross on 25-count Easy Grid Lugana. The goal is one page finish per month and a completion date of December 2030. In addition to monthly page finishes, I will add daily or weekly updates.

April Updates

Progress from the fourth week of April – I feel like I’m behind on page 3, but hoping to spend all day April 26 working on it.

Tokyo’s Haunted Store

My daily stitch is Tokyo’s Haunted Store by Cross-Stitch Curiosity. This is being stitched 2 over 1 on 18-count Navy Aida, with all of the called-for DMC except a few substitutions. The goal is to complete what I can on a lunch break, and perhaps a thread or two on the weekends, and a completion date of September 2025. 

I currently have 3 pages finished out of 9. The center page (5) was the one with the most stitching, so I completed that first. The two completed bottom pages (8 and 9) had the least amount of stitching. I’m working my way up through page 6 next.

If I don’t finish this by September 30, 2025, I may set it aside and pick up Mother’s Tree by Lavender and Lace for a while. I’ve started Mother’s Tree and I’m really feeling the urge to work on it at least through the month of October because that is when many of us who are Witches and Pagans celebrate Samhain, a day of remembrance for the dead and our ancestors. I also may start giving Tokyo’s Haunted Store more attention, so I can complete it in September.
