Floss Friday – April Stats, WiP Progress, New Starts and a Finish

When I posted about my Red Bird Sampler finish on April 11th, I didn’t share a photo of the finish (duh!). It made it to Instagram though.

Here it is…


Red Bird Sampler by With Thy Needle and Thread


April’s cross-stitch stats:


Completed 5,455 stitches


One finish = Red Bird Sampler (above)


Worked on one old WiP = Memorial Day

Memorial Day current progress…


Finished the main stitching on the Flags and stitched more words

Two new starts in April = Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow (no progress on this since April 18th post) and Parrot


Parrot by Salty Stitcher Designs is a stitch along with the GaRon Facebook group. I’m stitching mine on 40 count linen by Fabrics by Stephanie in the color Friendship Greene. The photos do not show the correct color.


I’m choosing the floss as I go. So far, it is DMC 3810 and Waterlilies by Caron Silk #207 Bermuda Reef.


This is more like the real color
Progress as of this morning...

This color is not even close!

One new start in May…A Honey of a Tiny Town was started on the 3rd. I’ve only stitched on it for two days.



I was looking for something a few days ago and ran across May Calendar Crates by Stitching with the Housewives.


No record of when I actually started this one but it must have been in 2022. I figured I would put Memorial Day aside and finish the stitching on this one.


I have everything I need to fully finish it this weekend. Another old WiP complete!!


Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas out there and I wish everyone else a very enjoyable weekend.

Your Redbird sampler is gorgeous, Jeanna! You have made great progress on the HOD piece. Perhaps a finish by Memorial Day? Aah that parrot- how adorable. Have a very Happy Mother's Day.

Your projects lift my spirits! You do such neat work. Love the Red Bird Sampler - those colors! That calendar crates is so cute, and I love the flags. Do you buy most of your floss and linen online or in store?

Oh my your Tiny Town is going to be so sweet. I looks like they could be separated and stitched into tiny little pillows too.
