 It's been a busy couple of days.

Friday, I met my goal for Ann Bowers from The Examplary with 535 stitches

Saturday Morning, I met my goal on Anna Sophia Bircham from HATS with 521 stitches

They're kind of hard to see, but they are there, I promise!

Then I met up with The Cornhusker State Stitchers and we started Pledge of Allegiance from Plum Street Samplers

I'm stitching mine on 40 ct Prehistoric from Fox & Rabbit with the HDF conversion with a couple of tweaks to one of the greens and the blue.  Here's where I left off yesterday.

Today, I've met my goal for Cider Dragon with 1078 tent/539 full x stitches and 12.39% complete

Now, I'm working on Come Into My Garden from Blackbird Designs with hopes that I'll be able to meet my goal for that one tonight which leaves time for at least one more tomorrow.

I've met three more goals in the last day or so. 

Sarah Breazier's goal was met with 542 stitches

Jane Fiddes' goal was met with 514 stitches

and I've met my goal on Growth Rings with 690 stitches.

Ann Bowers is out next for her stitches.

 

3/25/26

 I've met my goal for M. Woods 1759 from Milady's Needle with 578 stitches.

I'm off work for a few days with nothing planned beyond some house work so I'm hoping to meet several more of my 2026 goals so I have the opportunity to come revisit some of them again this year.

Sarah Breazier from HATS is out next.

 I've met my goal for Autumn Quaker from Rosewood Manor with 510 stitches.  The color changes are a challenge with this one.

 I've met a couple more goals this month.

I've added 665 stitches to Convent's Herbal Garden

3/15/26

 March's goal met for Chatelaine's Hawaiian Garden with 1259 stitches.  I've also completed the bottom quarter of part 5.

While I realize it's probably going to take the at least another month to two month to get the last quarter of part 5 done, I'm starting to get excited to start the landscape panels.

Her Private Garden is out next.  I should be able to see another page finish with this month's stitching on it.

3/14/26

 March's goal is met for Sea Witch with 2184 tent/1092 full x stitches and 42.46% complete

I need to add another 800-ish stitches into page 5 to meet my March goal.

3/8/26

 I've met my March goal and completed 4038 tent/2019 full x stitches for Warrior Alice which brings her to 76.77% complete.

3/1/26

 Yesterday was a very productive day.  I met up with the Cornhusker State Stitchers for some stitchy fun.  We've made plans for some new starts with the upcoming Nashville releases.  I think we're planning to start Plum Street Samplers Pledge of Allegiance first and I've asked Vicki at Hand-Dyed Fibers if she would convert everything to silk.  Now I just need to go pull some fabric.

Yesterday, I've also met my goals for Louisa Coulimore from Hands Across the Sea with 507 stitches.  I've officially finished the alphabets and have started the second half the sampler.

Today, I've met my goal for Death By Cross Stitch with 597 stitches and Patter Keeper tells me it is now 8.97% complete.  500 stitch goals just doesn't make a huge amount of progress.  This is probably something I should revisit again this year.

Harriet Godhard 1817 from Hands Across the Sea is out now for it's March progress stitches.
