January WIP-ocalypse Checkin

Hi Everyone!

This is my checkin for the January Wipocalypse!

Go Checkout our Host for this Wipocalypse Measi's Blog

My first month of Stitching was actually very productive!  I had a few page finishes and progress made on multiple projects!

Question for this month:

What SALs are you participating in this year?

Well, there are so many out there to choose from.  I find myself wanting to do so much and getting overwhelmed.  I had to really look at the multitude of SALs around and see which ones would work.  I don't really join the ones like Linen and Threads Sals, because I like to look at samplers, but much prefer to stitch on full coverage pieces.  That's why all the ones I participate in are motivational SALs.

I had to add a page in my Blog, to help me keep track of all my SALs.

For January I joined a couple of facebook group SALs.  Full Coverage Cross Stitch group had a challenge to complete 2020 stitches each month.  I choose SK Winter Wings and was able to get the stitches in.

Can't wait to get started on the next page on this one, its all about her dress!

The other SALs I had for January was with the Ultimate Cross Stitch group.

The  first challenge was to just show your progress, no minimum stitch count required.  I used SK Winter Wings again.

The second challenge with them was a counting challenge, there was 11 sections, and each section had a different amount to be completed.  In total there was 4850 Stitches to complete and I did!  I switched projects in the middle once the page on SK Winter Wings was done, I used World travel Bookshelf.

Thats my Sal update, I found a couple of more Sals that I will participate in from February onwards.  I will post on that at the beginning of the month.

Looking forward to seeing everyones WIPocalypse posts!

Happy Stitching!
