 I thought about just finishing the page but I couldn't bring myself to do it.  It was time to move on.  

SS Daybreak came out next.  I would love to be able to get more than my 1000 tent stitch goal since there were several months I didn't pick it up, but I would be happy with just the 1000 tent stitches since the trees are high confetti.

6/13/25

 I hoped to finish the middle of Heritage Sampler, without the personalization, in a couple of days.  Little did I know it would take 6 days and 2921 stitches.  I guess I did start working in the next section down too which is a few of those stitches.  I thought about taking the border all the way around but wanted to make sure I was going to be able to check it is in the right place before I got too far ahead of myself.
