 After slowing down for a couple of days after meeting my goal on He Came With the Rain, Warrior Alice got 1410 tent/705 full x stitches and is now 39.22% complete.

Then I had a new start with a friend.

Mary Gypson 1828 from Whilst Iris Naps with all the called for overdyed cotton on 46ct Thornfield from Needle and Flax.

I started with 516 stitches.

Out now, is Stitch.  I'm hoping to finish the last couple rows of text tonight.

9/12/24

Last night, I finished pages 29 and 37 of He Came With the Rain from Unconventional XStitch.  It is now 92.49% complete with only 2 full and 4 partial pages to go.  In September, I added 7060 tent/3530 full x stitches in just 8 days.  A friend asked if I'm going to finish this month and no, I need a break from it.  It will be a finish in October with just 6130 tent stitches to go.

Warrior Alice is out now for another 1000ish tent stitches.

 Pages 28 and 36 of He Came With the Rain, 90.15% complete

I've got approximately another 1467 tent stitches to go to meet my goal of 6633 tent stitches this month to be able to stitch 6633 tent stitches in October to finish.  Since I'm out of most of the confetti of earlier pages in this row, that should happen soon.

I added a quarter to the unstitched area when I took this picture because I found it very interesting that all this detail is visible without needing the stitched area to be huge.

9/7/24

 Pages 27 and 35 of He Came With the Rain are done and I'm at 87.28% complete.

I've got about another 3000 tent stitches left to meet my goal so maybe another couple page finishes?

9/3/24

 To start Sampler September, I have a new start with two, possibly three more planned.

On 9/1/24, I started Sarah A Sanderson 1872 from The Scarlett House.

I didn't have a huge start, but I've added 574 stitches to my giant piece of fabric.

The remaining starts will come later in September.  In the meantime, I've picked up Together We Stand from HAED and have added 1162 tent/581 full x stitches and it's now 1.06% complete

Next up is He Came With the Rain from Unconventional XStitch.  This one is so close to being done with only 13222 tent stitches left.  I've pretty consistently been adding 5000 plus tent stitches per month so I've decided to make my goal this month half of the remaining stitches and add a minimum of 6611 tent stitches.

8/31/24

 It looks like I didn't update IL Bosco di Bengtsson.   I've added 587 stitches

Then I pulled out Loara Standish for 537 stitches.  I really wasn't looking forward to those flowers so I moved to the next band.   I'll come back to them next year.

Then I pulled out Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler and added 501 stitches.

Since September is also known as Sampler September,  I'm starting a few Samplers or sampler-ish pieces with a friend, so there will be some new starts.  I'm hoping September is also when I see the first of several 2024 finishes.
