Fractal White Tiger February 2018 Update


It was my hope to finish page 7 on my Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger (artwork by Ricky Barnard) this month. Unfortunately, I only managed 210 stitches. If you look next to the eye, you might be able to see it is filled in a tiny bit more. Finishing page 7 is now my March goal.

Wishing you all wonderful stitching time!

February Reptiles

I did not get 1200 stitches in this month and I need to play catch up. Here is where I left off in January:
 And here is my progress this month:
I cut a thread and I need to stitch up to that point and fix it. Maybe in March?

Sarah's February birds

February was all about backstitching.
I added a couple little leaves and finished the bird at the bottom. I wasn't happy with how light the stitches were on the wire feeder so I went over that with a darker thread. Fall is almost done, then on to Summer!

End of January:

Mini's Indian peacock February 2018 update

Hello Stitchers,

Its been a while I posted an update on my new year new start 2017 here. I stitched on that piece for 26 days in 2017 with last stitch put in August.

However, I have picked it up on 13th Feb after finishing some priority gifts .This is how it looks after 6 days of stitching.

I'm travelling today and not taking this piece with me due to its size , so I thought I will post an update today .

Winnie the Pooh January 2018 Update

Hello, friends! 
I gave Winnie the Pooh three days at the end of January and did about 1,775 stitches, reaching the right corner, yay! 
Previous progress:
Current:

I would have liked to finish that last column but stitchy time was a bit sparse on those three days. Let's hope February is better...  the plan is to devote 2 days during the Stitch Maynia Olympics (daily rotation) challenge.

Fractal White Tiger January 2018 Update


This month, 1,040 stitches were added to my Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger cross-stitch project. The chart is based on the artwork of Ricky Barnard. 

The photo on the right shows 81 days of actual stitching. And I passed the 25,000 stitches milestone.

I think I fall in love with this chart a little more every month. My goal is to complete page 7 in February.

Happy Stitching,
Renee

Reptiles

 Above is where I left off in 2017. I kind of lost steam on this project. But I am trying to get 1200 stitches in a month, so here is my progress for January:
It is beginning to look like something!

Sarah's January Birds

I'm a little early for the month, but I'm at a natural stopping point so I thought it would be a good time for an update.

For January my goal was to get a little done on the winter bird. I didn't think I'd get it all the way done!

January 1st

January 26th

Since it was going so well, I decided to move over and work on the Fall birds too.

Winnie the Pooh December 2017 Update

Hi friends, thought I'd pop in and show you the latest on my Pooh project and share some fun stats.  I know it's January 12th, but I haven't touched Pooh since December so...
Previous:
Current:

Now, for the stats:
Start date was April 19, 2017 after a few false starts.  Total Stitchy days: 22 or roughly 2.5 per month.  Approximate total stitches: 15,500.  Average stitches per day: 705 (note that I tended to devote weekends to this project, when I have more stitchy time).  Percent complete: 41.2%.  This is obviously a good chunk of progress.... I hope I can keep up the pace in 2018!

Fractal White Tiger December 2017 Update

I only added 158 stitches to my Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger (artwork by Ricky Barnard) this month.

Hoping for a page finish, I scheduled 7 days to spend on it this month. However, a relative needed transportation to several appointments and procedures and I was glad I could help.

If you look really closely, you might see the difference.

Next month, I will have more to share.

This is 1 of 3 full coverage projects I am working on right now. I hope to finish one of those in 2018 and then there will be a lot more progress on this beauty each month.

This photo shows progress made in 2017. 3 of 30 pages are done.

Thank you all for the encouragement and motivation through the year. I wish everyone a very happy, healthy new year filled with lots of stitching time!

Long lost stitcher

Hi everyone.  It's been such a long time since I've posted. And that's because it's been a long time since I've dedicated any time to my stitching projects.

You girls have made great progress this year. I am planning on bringing out my Four Seasons Birds and finally completing it in 2018. After that I want to pick up on my HAED and I'm sure there will be a few Smalls along the way.

I was wondering if this blog was going to continue next year. I would love to join you again.

Winnie the Pooh November Update

Hi friends, the year is almost over and I'm still trucking along on Pooh... well, trucking is not exactly the right word.  Delicately stepping, we shall say.
Previous:

In November I got about 1500 stitches on Pooh, finishing 2 more columns except for the over 1 section (Owl). 
More green trees, basically.  It's the 100 hundred acre wood!  I'm looking forward to working on this in December and crunching some numbers to figure out how far along the project is (hint: less than 50%).

Fractal White Tiger November 2017 Update

1,279 stitches were added to Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger, a chart based on artwork by Ricky Barnard.

Next month, I will surpass the 24,000 stitches milestone.

This is how it looked last month.

I find the progress a bit difficult to see; however, the top 2 rows and 2 columns on the left side of the page are complete. 

December is a busy month, but I would love to finish page 7 before the end of the year.

I wish you all happy stitching!
