24HOCS starting point!

I've decided to work on my full coverage project for #24HoursOfCrossStitch, as this one hasn't had any love for a couple weeks so it'll feel good to get some progress.

Of course, at 2 over 1 on 28ct fabric, 24 hours is often less visible progress than you might think 😅

The pattern is "Autumn Stories" from Paine Free Crafts, and for reference I'm currently at 25.26% complete!

Good luck to anyone else taking part. I believe in you!

Thanks! Honestly most people are more organised with the threads than me but I just make it up as I go along, seems to work out fine.

The bendy things are magnetic cable ties, I've got the excess fabric rolled up at the sides and these hold it all in place. Should definitely have a grime guard on it as well to protect it, but they're upstairs and I'm downstairs and you can see how this would be an impossible problem to solve.

I will have to find some of those! My excess fabric has just been flapping around in the breeze lol
