Cross Stitch WIPs 2026

I need a current xstitch WIP list and while this isn’t complete it’s what I stitch on regularly. I started this post months ago after the Yucaipa retreat and at the last Temecula retreat I added a few more I worked on then. The first four items are still my main retreat projects with the rest being just some projects I enjoy working on periodically. I have a bunch hidden in my craft room started and not worked on for a few years. I have several HAEDs (Heaven And Earth Designs) that are full coverage and I will probably never finish while I’m working full time. Anyway, I found towards the end of 2025 that I need more solid guidelines. Prior to this, I was simply spending 15 minutes a day on the days I could get to it on Gamer and once in awhile some other projects. My goal was to work on 4 different projects at least once a week. Well, that meant I didn’t get much done on any. So, I’m adjusting things this year and will rotate.

Gamer – one diagonal, then switch to

MFE – quarter of a page (I have about 2 pages left so hopefully this will be done in 2026), then switch to

Disagree – one column, then switch to

2025 Nutcracker – one row, then switch back to Gamer and continue on…

1. My main squeeze: Gamer

2. My side chick: MFE 2023

3. Titania – Mirabilia

4. Blossoms by Jeannette Douglas

5. Dumbledore’s Army
6. Avlea – this is the designer and I need to get the actual name of the pattern
7. ‘Disagree’ by Rebel Stitchers Designs (09/2025)
8. 2025 Nutcracker by Shannon Christines designs (12/2025)

Keep stitching,

Melanie

  1. Gamer is looking great! I forget, was this a Geckorouge or Paine Free chart?
    I hope this rotation plan works well for you and you see the progress on these pieces that you’re wanting to see this year.
