WIPOCALYPSE 12/19


Voici le moment du bilan pour le Wipocalypse SAL, proposé par Measi's Musings.

Pour 2019 mon projet a été, suivant l'exemple d'amies brodeuses, de choisir 19 travaux en cours (selon la liste ci-après) et de leur offrir une éventuelle bonne fortune cette année.
J'ai manqué l'article de fin novembre étant en pleine préparation de notre voyage parisien.

Well, it's time to see how this year has gone, the Wipocalypse SAL is hosted by Melissa.

17 - loto feutrine / 18 - cuisine pour dînette - feutrine / felt / 19 - dinette Zazobouzi /

Prêts pour un tour d'horizon.

1 - Avvolgente - l'arbre de Noël - Christmas tree

The stitching was nearly finished, I kept for a calm and concentred day the addition of the real gold thread from DMC anniversary for the light on the candles.

 So on the last Sunday of the last month for the last post of Wipocalypse... some golden stitches...




2 - les patins d'argent - skating

The stitching is finished and the homemade frame in wool still in progress


Horizontal is too hard to fix on the top/bottom side so it will be all around the frame but it's hard too with the corners!



 3/4/5/6/7 - personnages de Noël -



The snowman is not finished, I don't like the result for the first snowflake so I didn't make the second one. Trying to find an idea to make it pop up. It is stitched in B5200 which is already a snow white.



8 - AAC oiseau - colin cardinal / 9 - la clef du mystère / keys
 / 10 - la clef des champs / keys
...  sorry no progress...


11 - Halloween sous la pluie Cuore & Batticuore

The stitching is finished, waiting for an homemade frame too.



12 - dansons la Capucine / dansing childs    free from Frimousse



13 - le jeu de l'oie / Goose game                     Progress on squares      16/17 -   62 - 





14 - Cda  traineau / 15 - CdA  St Nicolas / 16 - CdA  crèche

I have focused on 14 / 15 / 16, three of the four scenes of "Quand Noël s'en mêle" from "Un chat dans l'aiguille".

I worked on this Christmas board from February 2016, 25 colors, 23 different stitches, four scenes to embroid and then I'll have to sew them on a large red fabric after finish the patterns on the panel.



17 - loto feutrine /

Two sets of lotto game, four series ready : flowers, fruits/vegetables, writing and animals and bags for all the pieces. (2 purses, 2 pouches, 96 squares).



Two games, one for my granddaughter Capucine and one for Soline my goddaughter's daughter.
Her mum told me that it has been very useful and amusing during the long hours in car travel.
The next theme will be Winter/Christmas maybe Easter if I found six adequate fabrics in my stash.

18 - cuisine pour dinette - feutrine / felt /








19 - dinette Zazobouzi /



Well, I'm happy with this year's review, the first Sunday of January will introduce 20 projects - old and some new ones for a new Wipocalypse monthly meeting shared on Measi's blog.
