Again, I promise, this is solely an issue of finding time to blog, because I've been stitching plenty! So this is my (somewhat late) August check in for WIPocalypse. The question of the month is Which retired designer would you love to have back designing? That's a tough one. Teresa Wentzler comes to mind, and then there are some designers who have sadly passed away, like Stitcher's Anon, Chatelaine and Brooke's Books, but to be completely honest - each of them left behind more designs than I am ever going to be able to stitch. So I can't say I'd really *need* new designs by any of them. I think I'll have to say I wish my friend Magical525 was healthy enought to return to designing and finish the last SALs she started, although I got plenty of hers left to stitch still, as well.
Now for actual stitching progress - this is The Loneliness of Autum by Love Thy Thread (another retired designer, I believe), my monly WIPocalypse project. I made some good progress this month, added about 1200 stitches and currently only got 5800 left to go. That's 95.12% done!
I also managed two page finishes - hopefully I'll get another one in September. I do need to step up my game a little more if I want to finish it this year!

I love this piece! I think you will miss working on it when it’s finished, but I know you have plenty of other things to stitch.
Always fun to see what progress you've made on this beautiful piece! You can finish it by year's end, I'm sure :)
