Sarah's March update

I finally finished the birds!
My favorite season to stitch: winter.
My least favorite season to stitch: spring.
My favorite one to look at: fall.
Favorite little detail: the berries in the summer season.


I am now working on HAED, Magical Arrival by Anne Stokes. I finished page one and just barely got started on page two.


Fractal White Tiger March 2018 Update


This month I met my goal and finished page 7 of my Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger cross-stitch, based on artwork by Ricky Barnard. (I know March 31st is tomorrow, but the progress will be the same.)

Here is a closer view. 1,965 tent stitches were added. 

Next month I will be working on pages 11 and 12. The bottom of page 12 will begin to reveal the nose, so I am really motivated to see more progress.

4 of 30 pages are finished. The project is over 15% complete.

Happy Stitching,
-Renee

Winnie the Pooh February 2018 Update

In February, I worked on Winnie the Pooh 3 days and eked out about 1200 stitches.  My rotation is a bit different this year and my "Pooh" days don't necessarily fall on a weekend, but slow & steady progress will add up in the end.  Previous progress:
Now:
I stitched down the far right edge (1.5 columns) down to the midline, stitched the owl 1x1 (just right of the blue balloon), and started the far left column on bottom half (page 3).  My goals for March will be to finish page 2 (the upper right), which will involve blending filament to fill in those stitches on the tree trunk, as well as some backstitch.  Hopefully there will be time to continue on page 3 as well.  Happy stitching everyone!
