 Goal met for Ann Tong Uffindell from Hands Across the Sea with 776 stitches and the main part of the border is done.  It was off a stitch somewhere, but I won't tell if you won't. 

Margret Croft from Needlework Press is next.

 I'm still behind on my goal for SS Daybreak but I've added another 1006 tent/503 full x stitches

I was hopeful I would be able to finish page two but it wasn't going to happen.  Maybe the next time I pull it out.

Ann Tong Uffindell is out next for at least 500 stitches

I've been working on more WIPs to meet my goal of at least 500 stitches for the bulk of them again this year.

Yesterday, I met that goal for Come Into My Garden by Blackbird Designs with 610 stitches

And today, I've met my goal for Sarah Redfearn with 578 stitches.

Now, I'm going to back track a little and go back to Day Break which is supposed to be a WIP that gets 500 stitches every month.

 I've met my 2025 goal for Cider Dragon with 1138 tent/569 full x stitches bringing it to 11.24% complete.

I enjoyed adding that pop of green yesterday.

Come Into My Garden by Blackbird Designs is out next.

 I've met my goal for Anna Sophia Bircham from Hands Across the Sea with 638 stitches.

I know it's not obvious what was added, but the border, excluding the flowers, is now done and I added a bit to the partial flower in the main field of the sampler to finish off some silk on my needle.

Cider Dragon from Paine Free Crafts is out next.

I made a lot of progress on Heritage Sampler this weekend.  There was some frogging of the outer border since there were changes to the pattern and since I can't count but I got those corrected and the border is complete, except for beads.  I also added most of the interior borders so I can pick a section to work on.

 I've met my July goal for Her Private Garden and even though I haven't stitched any sky, I know where it starts.  Yay for colors that aren't brown!

I added 1074 tent/537 full x stitches which brought the percentage complete to 5.3%

Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler is out next.

 Last night, I finished page 25 of Warrior Alice.  I could have stopped before the page finish, but you know, the page finish seemed important.

I met my July goal for Alice with 2648 tent/1324 full x stitches and 61.84% complete.

Her Private Garden is out now for 1000 tent stitches.

 If I'd only realized I met my goal with page 22, I would have rotated then.  Instead, I added another length of 939 and got started on page 23/24.

My June goal for Loneliness of Autumn was met with 5840 tent/2920 full x stitches and 77.91% complete.

 I've met my June goal for Sea Witch with 1136 tent/568 full x stitches.  It is now 38.31% complete.

After Sea Witch, Loneliness of Autumn came out.  Saturday, I finished page 21 which saw 74.04% complete.

And last night saw me make it to 75.54% complete.

I'm almost hoping to finish page 22 with June stitches.
