Emerald Forest first update of 2020

I’m almost done with page 3, and the whole top row of pages. 

I have stitched 2280 stitches so far. I’m stitching this as part of my National Park Challenge for the Full Coverage Fanatics FB group. 

2280/4,000 stitches done for Park #1

2280/40,000 for my portion of this year long challenge.

Hope you have a great week filled with lots of great stitches! 

A New Start!

I think I had previously mentioned in my goals for 2020 post that I started a new piece.  So, here’s what I started:

I’d had this booklet in my stash for quite awhile now and came across it while looking through my stash, as we do sometimes just to see what’s in there. (Come on! Admit it! You do it too! Lol)

So I decided to start the first one in the book which happened to be this one:

This is the Spring Quilts if you couldn’t tell from all those bright pastels and flowers and what look like May Pole ribbons.

I started it on November 20th, and here is my meager start so far:

That is about 800 stitches. 600 of those I did last year. My goal for this one is 600 stitches a month. Which gets me to 7200 stitches for the year. I was kind of hoping to get to the halfway point on this piece, but I don’t think 7200 is gonna get me there. We’ll see how it goes. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you’re having a good weekend. Here in the States it’s a 3 day weekend, so if you get Monday off, enjoy, and hopefully you get some stitching in! 

Happy Stitching!!

2019 Christmas Ornaments

Well I shared my big HAED finish and all my progress from 2019. So here are pictures of the ornaments I was able to complete last year. I was a little disappointed that I wasn’t able to get more done, but I’m glad I was able to at least finish these three. Hopefully I can get more done this year. We’ll see...

Thank you for stopping by and happy Stitching to everyone! 

2020 stitchy goals

This year the Full Coverage Fanatics Group on Facebook has a whole new slew of SALs and challenges. I’ve decided to take part in two that will take place over the course of the year.

The first one is called “20 in 20 Challenge” the goal is to put 20,000 stitches into ONE project over the course of the year. (Approximately 55 stitches everyday)

The Second one I’ll be participating in is called the “National Park Challenge”. Where the admins have chosen 25 different national parks, and for every park you try to put 4000 stitches into one project. The 25 parks are divided into 5 different “tiers”. You must complete one tier before moving onto the next. If you finish all 5 tiers you’ll have stitched 100,000 stitches, over the course of the year. My goal for this is to complete tiers 1 and 2, which is 40,000 stitches. (Or about 110 stitches everyday)

Aside from these group challenges I’m also going to be trying to

1. Finish 6 Christmas Ornaments
2. Put 7200 stitches into a new start called Spring Quilt. Which I will show in an upcoming update.

So I think between these 4 goals I will be keeping pretty busy.

I wish you luck on any goals or challenges you set out to reach this year.
Thank you for stopping by! And happy Stitching!
