Writing, sewing, crazy quilting and embroidery are some of my favorite activities. This blog will be my tool to set my goals, share my progress, and make each day a step closer to achieving my dreams.
This is my 8 month progress photo, showing work completed between August 30, 2015 and April 30, 2016. I am still working on the Heaven and Earth Designs challenge I mentioned last month and just completed the 22nd color on page 4. (See picture below.)
This is how it looks today. I added 4,496 stitches since my last update. For those that like the statistics:
I am linking up with Stitchery Link Party #57 at Super Mom - No Cape! I encourage you to visit to see the free cross-stitch alphabet and to see what other bloggers have been working on this week. If you do any hand embroidery and have a blog, I encourage you to link up and join the fun! Thank you for stopping by! -Renee
I find it interesting that you don't restrict yourself to just one page. Many stitchers do. I have been doing that also my first cross-stitch of this type, but I really like your method. Your piece is really progressing and is quite pretty.
Just the thought of doing all that math to figure out the statistics makes my eyes cross. Math was never my 'thing'. You're making great inroads into your project!
