I absolutely loved this quick little stitch! I saw it on Michelle Bendy Stitchy's flosstube, and I was luckily the first person to ask for a pass the stash. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to finish it; can't decide between just this in a frame by itself or sewing it onto something. I do know that this will be the first pass the stash on my flosstube!

This was my first time participating in Steotch, and I had so much fun!!! I barely kept up with the clues each week, but I expected that. It was great to see the constant suspense right up until the end. This is super special to me because 1) I made it Harry Potter related, 2) first time using fancy floss in a project, and 3) it's the colours of Luna's Spectrospecs (cannot be any more perfect). I can't wait to have this one finished and hanging up!

Colours used (left to right):

DMC: 915, 3840, 3839, 3607

Colour & Cotton: Olde Santa, Carolina Blue (@colourandcotton)

Since I charted the Deathly Hallows symbol and stars by myself, feel free to ask me for the patterns. Here's a close up of the DH symbol (right-click to print), but I can put them in a file if that's easier for people :)

FO: Adventure Awaits

Pattern: Adventure Awaits
Designer: Caterpillar Cross Stitch (@caterpillarcrossstitch)

Fabric: 16 ct light blue Aida from Zweigart, stitched 2/1

Floss: called for DMC

Needle minder: from Caterpillar Cross Stitch

Started July 2, 2018. Finished December 11, 2018.

I started this pattern along with the SAL that Sally of CCS hosted! We received a continent each month, and it was so much fun to stitch all the different landmarks and see the changes some of the others made to their pieces. (One of them that I adopted was adding a door to the windmill in Holland. Some people added sheep and penguins.) I'm so excited to be finished and hope to have this one hanging up soon!
