Otherwise know as Nine in one blow. Not flies or other destructive activities but actual final finishing of cross stitch that has been on hangers in the upstairs sitting room closet for a long time (a couple of them were completed in 2020 during the first six months of the pandemic). There is properly aged, then there is shoved aside and not quite forgotten.
I finished four with fabric in quilt style, the other five are now living in hoops. Hung with sticky hooks, one and all.
The first is a Barbara Ana which I think dates from no later than 2019 and could be earlier. It is stitched with #12 perle cotton on 14 ct Aida (which is also letting me guestimate when). It is in the kitchen on the wall behind the coffee maker. The second was stitched in the first six months of the pandemic as a sanity alternate to Farewell to Anger full coverage. The patter is from Heartstrings Samplery and it is stitched with Sulky on some 16 ct hand dyed Aida (not me). On the wall in the dining area
Now the large hanging has been on the wall in the dining area for several years. It is the Coffee Sampler from TemptingTangles. The two hoop finishes? The top is designed by WitchyStitcher and has to be at least three years old. The Owl in the square hoop is by ArtsyHousewife. The owl’s cup says “you got this.”
