Cabin In The Woods - WIP 06.29.13

I had to take the Cabin off the QSnap to show Vickie, who was vacationing in Wisconsin a week ago.  We met up for a few hours, and did some shopping.  I had to pick up some much needed DMC floss to finish up on Cabin.

So, here is the updated view of cabin... and I have to say I havent stitched on it in almost 2 weeks!  Love the progress, as I finished up another page since the last post.

Cabin in The Woods - WIP 06.07.13

With the weather warming up, and the need to be outside has struck.  My stitching has been suffering.  But that is good... I think.. LOL

I just finished page 1 on Cabin, and as you can see have alot already stitched on page 2.  I have 26 out of the 30 pages completed.  Where the stitching ends on the right is the end of page 2.  LOTS of confetti stitching going on... and I even found myself frogging as I had not marked off a stitched square on my pattern and it through me off.  But its all good now. :)

Cabin In The Woods - WIP 04.27.13

Its been a looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnng winter, and I think it showed in my stitching (which Im pretty dang exicted!).  I finished up another row on Cabin, and Ive moved up to start working on the final row, only FIVE pages to go!!  33,250 stitches to go!!  Ive already completed 135,800 stitches into Cabin!  I have 76% of the design stitched, with 24% to go!

Here is what it looked like the other day when I had to take it off the QSnaps to adjust to the stitching area.  I did finish off the corner with stitching.

And here is what it looks like right now, with the rest of the stitches put in, and Im onto a new page.

Cabin In The Woods - WIP 02.07.13

Here is the next installment picture of Cabin... stitching right along!!  I hope this ambition keeps kicking my butt to stitch on it!! LOL

Cabin In The Woods - WIP 01.01.13

I have to say first off, its amazing how much stitching I have accomplished in the past 12 days (and I didnt stitch every day)!!  Having to stitch the star slowed me down with all the colors changes, but having lots of solid colors in the blues is making the stitching enjoyable!

Here is my updated progress of Cabin  -- appx 3300 stitches since 12 days ago!!

Cabin in the Woods - WIP

When I was looking for a comparison as to how much I have stitched on Cabin the past two years -- I found it.  Alittle more than 2 yrs (and 5 days ago) I posted an update here http://www.upnorthxstitching.blogspot.com/2010/12/cabin-in-woods-wip.html

And I had to take it off the QSnaps to move as I REACHED the end of the row!!!  WOOT WOOT!!

So, here is what 20 of 30 pages look like!  (Please excuse the wrinkles and the fact it looks not straight -- it is *both actually, LOL*)

 

Had to look up when I started this design -- 07/17/08 -- probably will take another 4 yrs to finish.. LOL

Cabin In The Woods - 05.08.12

Tonight I needed to move over Cabin as my wrist were starting to cramp from the design being too close to the QSnap. So I thought I would snap a picture.

Here is a previous of Cabin, what is looked like at the last post So, here it as of today -- only 11ish pages to go!

Cabin In The Woods - 03.16.12

Ive been meaning to post an update... but then I would just want to stitch some more, till I got to a certain point. Well, here is the update -- up till yesterday. This was the previous post, showing progress - 01.08.2012 Progress

Looking at the pattern, Im like a few stitches away from having a complete Cabin :)

Cabin Update - 01.08.12

The last photo update I did was (GULP) April on Cabin... here

And since I didn't post a before this update, update. You get to see an almost finished page!! Yep, just have about 10 stitches to finish up this page, but with the additional stitching, Im way beyond having a page done.

Two weeks ago - on Christmas, I had the sudden urge to stitch! So, I got out Cabin, and here is my progress up to now... (this stitching round.. I started about half way up on the stitching on the page)

Cabin In The Woods - WIP - 04/15/11

GASP!

Its been over 4 month since I last posted a progress of Cabin - look where I was here. 12/14/10 post

Well I cant say that I have been slacking off on my stitching cause I have actually have been stitching. And as of this afternoon, I have offically finished up a ROW (meaning 5 pages across the design) - of stitching. Yep, thats right, since Deb 14, I have put in all the stitches. 4 COMPLETE pages of stitching have been finished since the last update. I have pages 16 - 30 finished - and that makes this project HALF done (per pages - not stitching)!! I have put in roughly 67,550+/- stitches, granted pages 26 - 30 where only 5 stitches tall. So since this is half the pages finished, its not accurate with the half the numbers of stitches remaining.

So with that said.. I have roughly 101,550+/- stitches to put in the top part of the design. When finished I would have put in 169,050 (which I already know that total will be more as of all the frogging I have done already..LOL)

So, here are the pictures - pages 16 - 30 complete, and a close up of the door to the cabin. LOVE the detail! (Please excuse the wrinkles.)

Cabin in the Woods - WIP

Been spending some time with the Cabin these past couple of weeks. Coming along good. I have reached the top of the page. Going to finish up on the left and right of the tree, and move over to the left. LOVE how its coming together!

Visit to the Cabin..

My last update on Cabin was here.

I was asked to take a picture. So here is a recent pic. Slllloooowwwwlllly coming together! Would get more done if it wasnt so much detailed stitching. THANK GOD for highlighters!! Its stitched on 22 count OVER 1 thread.

Growing a Christmas Tree...

...is hard work!

Its slowing growing (and getting stitched), but its starting to take form. This is an update on Cabin in The Woods. That dark blob you see is the truck and base of the Christmas tree. Seems like a lot of darker colors right now. Hopefully I will be stitching more greens.

Cabin has been taking a back seat to getting stitched on... been working on hand stitching a binding on a quilt... so its slowly growing. :)

Spent the weekend at the Cabin

Ahh.. its so nice to actually be to the point where you have to get more pages out to start stitching on the page above. And today, I was able to get out two new pages to start the highlighting on.

One frustrating thing lately with the Cabin in the Wood design - is that I'm getting actually tired.. where I'm about to fall asleep stitching it. So this weekend was filled with short naps to get my motivation back to stitching on it.

I have a few stitches that are here and there, but are on the next page above... so I still have a few holes.

So, here is what 35,000 stitches in looks like - only 134.050 to go! 26% complete so far!

Cabin In the Woods - Update

Well, since the last update March 10th - you can see the progress!

Cabin Update

Here is a update on the Cabin.

I have to say, Im so excited... I hit the right side of the pattern!! WOOOT WOOOT!!

Now, I can start working up!

Cabin in the Woods - WIP

I had the joy of having a 3 day weekend, with no plans. Well I did have plans, it involved a needle, Cabin, and whatever was on tv. I planned on staying home, and going nowhere - well, just going to town was all I managed. And... thinking that our washer crapped out on us, only to believe I think I loaded it with too much. Cause it was working fine, after I tinkered with it alittle. Reminder to cancel repairman ASAP in the morning.

And stitch I did! Well, it got to the point where I was stitching in between commercials today..LOL

The last update I had on Cabin (as its referred too)was on Jan. 22 - pic here.

So...here is an update on Cabin after I spent some more stitching time on it this weekend.

















And, here is a closeup of Cabin, see the needle?! That's how far yet till the end of the design. From the furthest out stitch - 47 stitches (the needle is approx.) I was getting nervous to see if I had enough fabric on the right side. And it looks like I will... about 3 inches..LOL CLOSE!

Cabin In The Woods

Cabin in the Woods is a HAED. For those that aren't familiar with HAEDs, you stitch every square for the design to produce. I'm stitching it on over 1 on 25ct with 1 thread. If your interested in what it should look like - finished. Scroll down the sidebar of the blog and look for it.

Well, I last "spent alittle time on the Cabin", the night, before I got the dreaded call that my Dad had died. I just put it away, and just kinda forgot about it.

Well, about a month ago... I picked it up to stitch again on it.

Here is the progress as of Jan 15, 2o1o -- the ruler was a reference to show what the size is.



And here, is the progress of Cabin up till yesterday - Jan. 26th. I kinda have fallen in love with this design. I don't know what it is.. but its all I want to stitch on. LOL I'm in love dang it! Its taking along time for the stitching bug to hit me... and it smacked me a good one!



I had someone leave me a comment (Hi Carol!) that the stitching is the reason she comes to my blog to see the progress. Well, with life changes and thanks to Facebook games... I have pulled away some from them, and put that energy to needle and thread.

This is almost a 3 page finished of the Cabin - mostly greys & peach color threads. The page is folded in half, and I just have alittle more to do in the upper right corner and across the top to finish it off.

Spent alittle time at the Cabin today...

While it was raining out side, and there was no way I was going outside to deal with the mud and slush - I stayed inside and stitched some snow. Crazy huh?! This is Cabin in the Woods from HAED - there is a picture of the finished design on the sidebar on the right.

Well, if you remember I'm stitching a HAED. Yes, one of those pattern that are huge, and every square is stitched. Well I'm in the process of stitching snow, I'm talking like DMC #s 822, 3024, 753, and 415. So I'm talking greys.

Here is a progress pictures from way back in August. This is the last time I had a updated picture, and its great to compare to.

And here is my progress up till this post. Slowly making progress, in the past 2 days I have put in 1500 stitches alone.


So back in the bag it will go till it starts to scream for me again.
