Winnie the Pooh September-October update

I have a bit of progress to share on Winnie the Pooh, from the September-October timeframe.  After that, I set it aside in favor of my 2 other full coverage projects.  That was a good plan, since I finished Fall Fairy and got close on Charmed Santa.  Pooh will get more love in January.   

Progress at the beginning of the year, and my last check in


Currently:

So, I estimate I did around 14,604 stitches this year, a bit less than last year (15,500), but still a fair chunk of progress.  That included two over 1 sections (Owl, and Tigger/Piglet), which take longer to stitch.  Next year I'll try a thimble; there is a lot of petit point remaining on the last page (in progress).  About 8,000 stitches remain and I'll try to finish by April.  Obviously that works out to 2,000 per month but with only 8 WIPs, I should be able to devote the time and make it work. 
Happy New Year everyone!

    1. thanks Leonore. I suppose "quickly" is relative, but I'm starting to get concerned about the backstitch & french knots, so maybe I'll do some before I proceed, next month.
