Challenges & SALs, WIPocalypse

WIPocalypse – September 2025

I finally got back into stitching again in September by joining in with a few stitching challenges in the WIP Warriors private group. Progress is only 100 stitches in some cases, but that means 100 stitches closer to a finish! 😀 Photos below are before and after progress during September.

Do you have any sort of record for your finished pieces? Tell us how you record their information.

Honestly I’ve been quite slack in recent years, but in the past I’ve always kept a Word doc every year for all my finishes. These contain a photo of the finished piece, along with key information about the stitch count and fabrics etc used for it. I also include some notes about who I gave the piece to or any challenges I faced during the stitching etc. I then printed the pages out and keep them in ringbinders. This year I started on reworking the format so I could reduce the number of pages if possible, with the intention of having them printed into a book format instead so I can look back on them all in later years 🙂 I also keep a photo in my Flickr albums of each finished piece.

For my WIPs I tend to rely on my blog to keep track of them, and have them all listed on a Works in Progress page. I try to update the page annually, updating the ‘starting image’ for any projects where I made progress in the previous year, but once again have been pretty slack with keeping that updated on a regular basis! I think I’ll probably improve once I gradually get more consistent with doing actual stitching each year.

  1. You have a lot of nice pieces in the works. I did When Witches Go Riding a few years ago. It was a fun one. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress on all of these!
