Crabby for Autumn

I'm exhausted.

Do you see the huge pile of Leaves I've had to deal with this month? It must be Autumn if there are this many leaves about! My favorite time of year. Crabby All Year's Leaves was fun and although that enormous leaf pile was a booger, it went really quickly once I settled myself to it.


Now for the requisite quarterly photo of Crabby All Year. This one means I am three quarters finished! WooHoo!


Truly enjoying this project. I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a project. I will be rather sad when this year is over and Crabby is finished. What could I ever stitch next year that could top this???

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

  7. Looking good! Thankfully this is the last booger pile on the piece. Well the check is a bit on the large side, but it's the last thing you'll stitch. It goes so quickly.

    Are you anxious to start October? Zombies was my *favorite* month of all.

    Still thinking about a monthly project for next year. Do I go big again like HoHRH? Or do I go fun like Crabby?

  8. Oh! I noticed the black thing when you posted last and wondered what it was, and now I know it's a trash bag for the leaves! Hee! So cute!!! I have the design started, but I've only bought 2 of the strips, (Jan-March and April-June).

  13. It looks great :) I would have to re-arange the months though if I stitched it since our seasons are different to yours...

    Where do you get the pattern?
