WIP ~ Midnight Enchanter

Well, for the last week I have been working my butt off trying to finish this Midnight Enchanter.  The left is what it looked like previously.  The right is the new WIP picture. I have finished off quite a bit.  I still need to finish the moon/planet, hands, backstitching and charms.

Monopoly Board FINISHED

Finished today at 10:27 p.m. - Started 9-10 years ago.



New JAIL

Errors on Monopoly Chart to save others some time!

I only have one Community Chest left to do and I will be done.  I cannot believe it.  I kinda took June and July off and didn't stitch since too much was going on.  In the last couple of days working on this pattern I have found some major errors in the last parts I have been stitching.  I am just thankful that I found them.  I will need to post all the errors I have found to help out other stitchers out there in not having to figure it out too late.

1. Luxuary Tax if off centre, move to one square to the left.
2. (Note I changed 444, 517, 550, 995 to all different colors that I felt matched better to the original board)

1. I changed the jail guy completely.  I felt he looked like a ghost.  I bought a transparent 14 ct pattern and put on my board and stitched him how he looked.
2. Reading Railroad, I added a \ at the end of the train to make it look more realistic.
3. I changed the colors 800 and 602 to colors that matched better.

Page 3

1. The Community Chest on this page is different from the other 3.  The black area on the middle left as an extra square.  Circle one other on a different page and do all three the same as that one to ensure they all look the same.
2. Fixed Pennsylvanna Railroad and added \ to the end
3. Electric Company.  I did not like that it didn't look round so I changed it to make it more round. Add one or two rows to the top of the light bulb. I also changed the inside a bit to make it look more like a lightbulb.
4. I changed the colors 977 and 600 to match better colors

Page 4/5

1. The Chance area is 17 spaces above Baltic when it should be 18 spaces like the Community chest area.
2. The H on Chance should be stitched the same as the H on Community Chest.
3. The space from the x x x x x, to the CHANCE is one space higher then the Community Chest and should match.
4. The Chance spaces are wrong.  The space should match the Community Chest area.  It should be 21 x 14 with the 4 outlined x's at each corner.  However, if you look closely at the Chance Area vs. the Community Chest it is 20 x 13 (13 on one side and 14 on another)  They really mucked up on this.
5. Under the Monopoly I changed the S on Brothers to make it match the other spacing of letters, the B so it doesn't look like an 8 and the 8 to make it look like an 8.

1. I did the backstitching on the Free Parking all in two strands.  I liked this better.  I didn't not stitching the white in this as to me it seemed silly since the fabric is white already.

1. The Jail man's hand looks crazy and so I changed his hand and added a collar to his sleeve.  Trust me it looks way better and if you look at the board he wears a blue jacket , white sleeve and than hand.  I love mine.  (see picture to relate to what I mean)
2. Faix the B & O Railroad by adding the quarter stitch \ to the end
3. Water Works: I just stitched the outline.  I didn't not stitch the white floss.

1. Fix Short Line by adding \ Stitch.
