I've met my goal for Mary Gypson 1828 from Whilst Iris Naps with 541 stitches.

Next is Summer Moon from Plum Street Samplers.

 

7/30/26

 I've met my goal for Sarah Sanderson 1872 from The Scarlett House with 539 stitches.

Mary Gypson from Whist Iris Naps is out next.

7/28/26

 I've met my goal for Together We Stand with 1062 tent/531 full x stitches and 3.64% complete.  I've found the bottom of the page but since its in such light colors, it's hard to see.

Sarah Sanderson is out next.

Today, I've met my goal for my Quaker Tiles Flag from the Vivsters with 598 stitches.

I added some more of the outline and the two red tiles.  This one needs to be revisited after I touch all my WIPs.

Together We Stand from HAED is next.  I still have some feelings associated with this one, but I bought the chart before those people were invited into my life and I'll continue it long after they're gone from it.  Well, since they are not part of my life anymore, of course long after they're gone from it. 

This project needs to see progress.

 I've met my goal for Ms. Gothica II from Tilton Crafts with 1092 tent/546 full x stitches and 2.74% complete

2.74% doesn't seem like a like a lot of progress, but the black stitching at the bottom is almost to the bottom of page 1.  I'm not sure how much of the detail from the art will be visible when all the spaces are filled in, but I'm looking forward to what happens.

Quaker Tiles from the Vivsters is out next.  I was debating on filling in another blue tile, but I think, since I have a lot of outlining done, I'm going to move down to the first row of red and fill in some more tiles.

7/25/26

 I've met my July goal for Warrior Alice with 4138 tent/2069 full x stitches and 87.72% complete.

I really thought about finishing this page, but decided I was done for now.

Ms. Gothica II from Tilton Crafts is out next.  I'm getting really close to the end of my WIP list which is awesome.  Then I will choose which WIPs to give some extra love to this year.

I've met my July goal for Harriet Godhard with 781 stitches

and last night I completed page 36 of Warrior Alice.  She's now 85.69% complete.

I have about 3000 stitches to go to meet my July goal so lets see how much of pages 37/43 that completes.

 

7/18/26

 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.

7/16/26

 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.

7/13/26

 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.

7/10/26

 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.

7/3/26

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.
