Summary AI

Carrie, host of StitchingOnThe40, presents the "W" instalment of her alphabet WIP parade, showing six works in progress. She begins with Welcome Owl by Soda Stitch, stitched on 18ct white Aida, and When Witches Go Riding by Cheryl McKinnon of Tiny Modernist, a stitch-along piece on 16ct white Aida dyed with tan modelling. She then shows Winter On The Farm by Sharon Pope from the Just CrossStitch 2017 February magazine, stitched on 16ct Haven Aida by Picture This Plus, and Winter Stitching Seasons by Priscilla Blain of Stitching with the Housewives, a Fat Quarter Shop club kit on 28ct thin white pine board by Fabric Flare. The final two WIPs are Wintertime by It's Sew Emma from Fat Quarter Shop's Stitch Quarterly Club, stitched on 14ct minty green opalescent Aida, and Wizard Owl, adapted by Elizabeth Spurlock from original artwork by Cyra Cancel, from the Just CrossStitch 2015 Halloween issue, stitched on 16ct black Aida.

• Carrie shows six 'W' WIPs, bringing her total WIP count to 132, with one more to come tomorrow.
• She discusses the companion pieces Summer On The Farm and Winter On The Farm, which she has loved for about seven years.
• She mentions a heat advisory and converts Fahrenheit to Celsius for international viewers.
• She explains that the Wintertime kit's pink floss doesn't match the red sweater in the pattern, so she plans to substitute a red like DMC 321.
• She warns about Q-Snap frames leaving marks on dark fabric, as happened with her Wizard Owl project on black Aida.
• She uses a spinner wheel to choose her next stitching project, which lands on Winter On The Farm.
