I stitched this to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first screening of Doctor Who which screened 23 November 1963.
I finished it with plenty of time to spare.
It’s also the first Mini from Heaven and Earth Designs that I’ve stitched. Some minis I’ve seen are hit and miss with the detail being lost. This charted up very nicely for a mini.

QS A Stitch in Time Fireplace by Aimee Stewart
Design size 350 x 284
Stitched on 25ct Lugana 1×1
99,400 full x stitches
Started 4 July 2022
Finished 20 Oct 2022
99 total days where I actually stitched.
99,400 total stitches
An average of 1,004 stitches a day.
This daily average is slightly less than my QS Huggable finish. I’m putting that down to the fact that it was a larger design with more detail, and more colour changes, which all takes time.
I’d hate to think how much longer I’d have taken without the patternkeeper app. Not having to keep searching the key was a huge advantage.
This is my 42nd Heaven and Earth Designs finish.
