 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.

6/14/26

 I've met my June goal for Her Private Garden from HAED with 2268 tent/1134 full x stitches and 10.3% complete.

I think Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler is going to come out next with my oldest son's name.  It's getting so very close to being done.  I've got both my sons' names charted, they just need to be stitched.  I'm debating on whether or not to add anything in the remaining spots.  Martina had a poem or something there.  Then, I just need to add the year and all the beads.

If you have thoughts about the remaining personalization, let me know.

10/3/25

 I've met my October goal for Her Private Garden with 1058 tent/529 full x stitches and 6.23% complete.

To be honest, I had hoped that this month's 1000 tent stitches would get me closer to finishing page 3 but I really underestimated how many stitches were left.  Maybe next month.

Next, I'm going to add a leaf or two to Loara then pull out Warrior Alice for her October stitches.

9/6/25

 Ive met my September goal for Her Private Garden with 1060 tent/530 full x stitches and 5.95% complete.

I had hoped to complete page three this month but there are way more stitches left in page two than I thought.  I did however find the edge of a wing and the edge of the page so I have a better idea how far I need to go for page three.

Warrior Alice is next.  I'll probably spend my 1000 storches on her right striped stocking.

8/22/25

 I completed August's goal for Her Private Garden last night with 1346 tent/673 full x stitches and 5.66% complete.
