 I've completed pages 39/45 of Warrior Alice and she's now 93.05% complete.

Since this leaves three full and 3 partial pages, my plan is to complete a full and a partial page every month which still gives me a finish in December.  This month, I added 3872 tent/1936 full stitches.

Then, I pulled out Harriet Godhard for her September stitches and completed 669 stitches to meet her goal.

Sea Witch is my final monthly goal let to meet this month and she is out now.

Alice remains out to continue with her monthly stitch goals.

 I've met my September goal for SS Daybreak and almost got another page finish but I was done stitching white on white.  It'll be first next month.

I added 2246 tent/1123 full x stitches which brought it to 6.28% complete.

9/9/26

 September goal met for Her Private Garden with 2118 tent/1059 full x stitches and 12.13% complete.

SS Daybreak is out next.

 Heritage Sampler is officially moving off my WIP list.

It's finally done after 11 years.

Some close ups

I've added more beads than were charted and a cube in the middle of the bottom garden.  I may end up adding some bicones that appear to have been charted but weren't included in the materials list.

When we last met, I was going to pull out Away We Ride, and I did.  But I only added 11 stitches and the DMC 310, even on 40 ct dyed linen, isn't making me happy.  I've got some Anchor black in the bag, so I need to give it a try to see if the coverage is any better.

Next out was Pledge of Allegiance and I added 2044 stitches to it.  I am just above the page break going to the last set of pages which should be totally doable over the course of the next three months.

Yesterday, I put Loara Standish back on my q-snaps and made some great progress on the current band.  Could I have finished the band today?  Yes.  Did I want to?  No, I should be able to finish this band next month and get at least a start on the next one in October.

I pulled Heritage Sampler out last night and got it on the frame.  I have what I'm using on either side of the bottom garden charted,  Since it's backstitch, it shouldn't take long.  then I just need to finish the charted beads and decide if I want to pull some bicones out of stash and get her finished.

 I've met my goal for Steampunk Portal with 1132 tent/566 full x stitches and 7.69% complete.

Away We Ride from Autumn Lane Stitchery is out next.  I was debating frogging the black stitches, but when I pulled it out this morning, I think it will be fine.
