Theme-A-Licious March Madness (week 3)

The theme for this month is March Madness, "Work on something different every day... it's madness... of the funnest possible kind."  I used the Random Number Generator to pick a number from 1-95 for a WIP from my WIPocalypse list to stitch on each day.  I'll post an update every weekend with the choices for the prior week.

March 15 - #74, The Wizard of Oz: I started stitching the wicked witch. When I have big blocks of one color, I do the half stitches first when following the pattern, then it's easy to go back and cross the X's without looking at the chart.  Do you stitch this way or prefer one X or one row at a time?
The Wizard of Oz update #1
March 16 - #82, Trick or Treat Greeting:  I stitched the purple letter E and some backstitching.

March 17 - #6, The Sorcerer:  I stitched more purple in his cloak.
The Sorcerer update #11
March 18 - #70, Snow Bear and Sleigh:  I stitched more blue half-stitches for the background.
Snow Bear and Sleigh update #1
March 19 - #50, Santa Hang-Up:  I did some backstitching and started his hat.
Santa Hang-Up update #8
March 20 - #86, Boo-gie Fever:  The skeleton has a hat now.
Boo-gie Fever update #1
March 21 - #11, Star Wars:  I finished stitching C3P0.
Star Wars update #3
I roll up the extra fabric and tuck it into the Q-Snap covers which I buy from Christine's Q-Snap Huggies.  Only 10 more days to go for March Madness!  Happy Stitching, everyone!

  8. Your stitching is beautiful. I am going to put Trick and Treat and Skeleton Boogie on my wishlist. My birthday is coming, Maybe I will get it soon, lol.
    When I have a huge block of coloring, I will outline the shape than fill in by rows.

  11. Amazing progress on everything. Well done! I'm the same as you I do all the half stitches I can find of a particular colour then double back and cross them, as you say I don't have to look at the chart when crossing them all.

  12. Great progress on them all Debbie, you are certainly fulfilling March's topic.

    I stitch half crosses them go back, but only the amount in each line, but if its handdyed then of course one X at a time.

  13. I do the same as Vicky. I stitch the outline and then color it in. When I taught myself to cross stitch I crossed each X as I go. So I've always done that. It's just normal for me. Some people said it must help with my tension cause my stitching always lays perfect. Who knows haha.

    Love your random picks. I'm going to miss you doing it this way cause it makes it really fun to watch. Love your projects and great progress on each one!

  21. Love the projects this week!! I don't do that half-cross thing, but that is very smart! Perhaps I should...with my extremely short short-term memory,I might actually be able to look at the chart only once per row that way!!!
