This month, I added 1,187 stitches to my Heaven and Earth Designs "QS Red Hearts" cross-stitch. I have to say, I love Ching-Chou Kuik's artwork and this piece is one of my favorites.
This photo shows how it looked last month.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may already know that I finished page 4 this month!
I am trying to work the rest of this project by filling in the grids diagonally.
Page 4 was sooo close to a finish, I had to fill it in.
Working diagonally, it may take longer to see a visible difference, but I will be able to alternate between pinks and reds on pages 5 & 6 and the darker colors on pages 7, 8 & 9.
I am also tracking my progress in my bullet journal. There is something satisfying about coloring in a square that represents 100 stitches.
The project is now 62.15% complete. (It was 59.62%.)
Pages 1-4: 100% complete.
Page 5: 29.39% complete. (It was 21.46%.)
Page 6: 7.26% complete.
Page 7: 23.05% complete. (It was 14.77%.)
Page 8: 0.09% complete. (It was 0.04%.)
I am joining Monday Stichery Link Party #127 at Super Mom - No Cape! Feel free to join the party if you have a blog and do any hand embroidery. I do hope you will pop over to see what others have been working on.
Thank you for stopping by.
