 Since I have to go back to work tomorrow, progress will be slower.

but I've made more progress

I added 529 stitches to Come Into My Garden from Blackbird Designs

509 stitches went into Sarah Redfearn from The Scarlett House

656 stitches into Ann Tong Uffidel from Hands Across the Sea Samplers

And as of this morning, I added 221 stitches to Hagatha's Orange Hat.  All of those stitches went into the brim of her hat.

I think there's mostly backstitch to go on the cone of her hat so maybe November will see this finished.

Harriet Godhard is out for it's November progress.

4/1/26

 Sadly, PTO is over so what feels like massive progress is over too.

I've completed my goal for Come Into My Garden from Blackbird Designs with 509 stitches

my goal for Sarah Redfearn from The Scarlett House with 508 stitches

and Ann Tong Uffindel with 546 stitches

I also reached my minimum goal for a new start for Pledge of Allegiance with 554 stitches

Today, I'll start April with Harriet Godhard.

 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've struggled with pulling Nightshade out to finish this year.  So I thought I'd try something different, for me, and still be able to finish her.

I ordered this frame from Amazon and stuffed my WIP in it to see how she looked.  I'm pretty pleased.   I do need to add a little to the bottom right but I think this will work just fine.

I worked on Ann Tong Uffindell yesterday and met my goal with 621 stitches into the border.  I do plan to come back later this year and connect the border.

Next out is Sarah Redfearn from The Scarlett House.  I'm probably going to work on the border here too.

8/20/23

 Chatelaine's Polar Mandala wasn't out as long as I'd hoped but I added almost 1100 stitches.

Then Ann Tong Uffindell from HATS  came out.  My original goal was page 2 but I couldn't face the iver 1 on 46ct so I added a bunch of border instead.

Now I have Winter Rose Manor by Brenda Gervais out and this has to be one of the smallest starts I've made.  

12/31/22

 I made it about halfway through Farm Folk before I couldn't any more.  At least the rest of the block should go quickly.

Ann Tong Uffindell came out next and I finished page 1.

Now, since I don't really know what I want to work on,  I'm going to start some things.

First up is Winter Rose Manor by Brenda Gervais on 46ct Weeks Confederate Gray with the HDF conversion.

Jane Charlotte Wynn from The Scarlett House on Weeks 40ct Straw with the called for Weeks overdyed cotton.

Started 12/31/22

Steamy Blue from Crossstitch4everyone on Etsy

Stitched 2x1 tent on 28ct I dyed

Started 12/31/22

1/5/22

 I started Ann Tong Uffindell 1/1/22 and stitched her for just two days before another start called to me.

I'm looking forward to visiting Ann again.

Little House Needleworks Grandmother's Quilt started calling after a friend showed it on her Flosstube video.  So I dug out the kit I've had since the charted were originally released and made a start.  Sadly, that small start was not to be since the Classic Colorworks Bamboo didn't really show.

With some help from a friend, I pulled some fabrics and chose Winter Wren from Fox and Rabbit for restart.

Now, my Classic Colorworks Weeping Willow in the next border doesn't show up very well so I'm debating what I want to do for that so I'm pulling out The Master from Tilton Crafts for a change of pace
