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.

Last night I finished the remaining stitches to meet my February goal with 2110 tent/1055 full x stitches and 41.7% complete 

This morning, I've picked up March's Window View in Stitches from Stitches and Cutz that I'm stitching for a shop model for Heartland Quilting and Stitching.  We've decided to meet next Saturday so I decided this must be done so I can hand it off to them.

This is what it looked like when I picked it up this morning

I've already added a couple of clouds so I can be sure of the placement of the rainbow and finished off all the hanging threads.  Yay!  With any luck, I'll have this finished this weekend so I can pick up some of my other WIPs and meet some more of my 2026 goals.

 I've finished page 16 of Sea Witch and it's now 41.48% complete.


I love how the dragon is turning out!  The Witch looks dark IRL but in the photo all the colors look great.  I didn't realize she had a nose until I pulled it off the q-snap to take a picture.
