 Yesterday, I met my July goal for Her Private Garden with page 5, 2550 tent/1275 full x stitches and 10.99% complete.  I knew I'd met my stitch count goal and was done otherwise; I should have just added enough stitches to get to 11%.

The brown shape at the bottom of the page is the angel's (is that what she is?) head.  So maybe, next year I'll come back and start filling that in.

Two more pages to go to complete the first row.  Will I manage to get them done this year?

Harriet Godherd from HATS is out next.

 I've finished the last horizontal row of personalization on Heritage Sampler with 611 stitches..

I need to finalize/chart the remaining personalization for either side of the bottom garden and "26" for the top garden to complete the year there.  Then all I'll have left is all the beading.

Her Private Garden is out now.

 I'm met my July goal for Sea Witch with 2066 tent stitches/1033 full x stitches and 45.34% complete.

Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler is out to finish another line of personalization.  I'm still debating what I'm going to add to the last bit around the bottom garden but I think I've settled on "Family is...Everything".  But should that be in script or the same font as the rest of the personalization?  Not sure yet.

 I've met my July goal for SS Daybreak with 2330 tent/1165 full x stitches and 5.67% complete.

Sea Witch has come out next to work towards the next page finishes.

7/6/26

 I've added another 2303 stitches to Pledge of Allegiance as I work toward a finish this year.

SS Daybreak is next.

This morning, I met my June goal for Hawaii with 1930 stitches and I finished part 6.

Pledge of Allegiance from Plum Street Samplers is out now since the Fourth of July is tomorrow and it just seemed appropriate.

7/2/26

 On June 30, I met my goal for QS Voodoo in Violet with 1006 tent/503 full x stitches and 3.32% complete.

Yesterday, Chatelaine's Hawaiian Garden came out so I can work on finishing part 6.  I'm hoping to do that today but I have 600ish stitches and lots of backstitching to go so it may be tomorrow before I get it finished.

I think I'm going to pull out Plum Street Samplers Pledge of Allegiance next and work on that through at least Saturday since that is July 4th.
