 It's been a busy couple of days.

Friday, I met my goal for Ann Bowers from The Examplary with 535 stitches

Saturday Morning, I met my goal on Anna Sophia Bircham from HATS with 521 stitches

They're kind of hard to see, but they are there, I promise!

Then I met up with The Cornhusker State Stitchers and we started Pledge of Allegiance from Plum Street Samplers

I'm stitching mine on 40 ct Prehistoric from Fox & Rabbit with the HDF conversion with a couple of tweaks to one of the greens and the blue.  Here's where I left off yesterday.

Today, I've met my goal for Cider Dragon with 1078 tent/539 full x stitches and 12.39% complete

Now, I'm working on Come Into My Garden from Blackbird Designs with hopes that I'll be able to meet my goal for that one tonight which leaves time for at least one more tomorrow.

 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.

2/21/24

 I met my 2024 goal with Anna Sophia Bircham 2/19 with 509 stitches.

Then, M. Woods came out for 232 stitches.  Only half way to my goal but I'll be back.

SS Daybreak is out now to hopefully meet my goal in the next day or so.

 Anna Sophia Bircham has been out the last few days.  After I finished the flowers along the top border, I stitched the border and it met up!

10/24/22

 Progress on Her Private Garden wasn't as much as I would have liked but I decided to try to wash some of the starch out of the fabric to see if it became a little more stitch friendly.

Then Anna Sophia Bircham from Hands Across the Sea  came out and I almost made it across the top border.

I have three goals left to meet for 2022.  I'm debating on pulling one of them or a new start.

 Last weekend after my last page finish of

Warrior Alice, I pulled out Anna Sophia Bircham 1871.  I frogged and restitched the yellow and added another flower in the border before I moved on.  

Before:

After:

I put a length of thread into The Forgotten from Charting Creations 

Then I picked up He Came With the Rain by Unconventional XStitch  and finished page 4

This will stay out for now as I'd like to finish page 5 before putting it away.

Sea Witch continues to get at least a few daily stitches and I may go back to ot after the next page of He Came With the Rain. 

1/3/21

 On December 31 I decided to start Anna Sophia Bircham by HATS with the HDF conversion.  I really enjoyed stitching her but I'm not real sure about that gold.

Then on 1/1 I started The Mermaid of Salem Bay from The Primitive Hare

I'm thinking about one more start this month so we'll have to see what happens.
