I've been trying to get 4K stitches each month on each of the new full coverage projects, Mini Faery Tales and Mini Waterhole Master, and because of this event, I have managed it!
I started here on Mini Waterhole Master:
I'm stitching on 28ct Sunrise by The Crafty Kitten and stitching 1 over 1 full crosses. You can see a bird in a tree at the top there now, and hopefully it will become clearer with more work. I'm missing a couple colours, or haven't found them yet, so the top left corner isn't complete yet. I'm working somewhat cross country, somewhat by 10x10 diagonal box. Basically, I'm choosing a colour in a box and stitching either across or down with it, depending on where it takes me, and when I finish one thread, go back to that 10x10 box and choose another colour. It's working so far. :)
This was a fun weekend to get things ahead on this one, and will likely be handy if I'm able to participate most months in getting both projects to progress.
Hope all is well with you!
Happy Stitching,

16 hours is fabulous! I would definitely be up for the 24 hours of staying awake if it wasn't for my son.
ReplyDeleteI do a 10x10 square also, choosing the first color in the upper left hand corner and stitching horizontally until I come the the edge of the square or the end of the color going row by row. I do like the way Mini Waterhole Master is looking, too.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of stitching, I'd love to stay awake that long right now. Lovely progress.
ReplyDeleteFantastic progress!!! I can't imagine staying awake that long either. Even at my retreat I tend to go to sleep about 3am.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of stitching, and it really shows!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress for 16 hours! I think I'd be nodding off several times in 24 hours if I attempted it.
ReplyDeleteAmazing progress for 16 hours! I would struggle to do the 24 hours - I'd get so slow and mistakes would creep in x
ReplyDelete16 hours is a wonderful amount of time, great progress, well done.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome progress for your marathon, and it sounds like you really enjoyed it too. I like your idea of stitching a colour until your thread length runs out and then returning to that grid box to choose another colour. That wouldn't be particularly easy without PK, so it looks like the app gets yet another thumbs up. :)
