Before I get into my June cross-stitch stats and mid-year recap, I’ll show you recent progress on a couple of projects.
First is Memorial Day. Here
is where I left off…
This is where I am now…
I honestly cannot get into this piece, even though I am so close to a finish.
Next is Parrot. Here is where I left off…
This is where I am now…
I’ve made this a focus piece because I’d like to have it finished by the end of July…as in this month!
I stitched 3,496 Xs on 6
projects during June. I only stitched 10 out of 30 days. Three of these projects are new and were
directly related to a retreat I attended the 27th – 29th.
If I do not post about the retreat over the weekend, then I’ll do it on Monday.
Below is a mid-year status
update that covers my cross-stitch journey. You saw the first part in my January
7, 2025 “Just A Bunch of Numbers” post. I’ll repeat it here, so you
do not have to click back, unless you want to 😊
This key will explain the
columns on the table:
Starts = obviously, the
number of projects started in that year.
FFO = projects fully
finished (framed, pillow, flat fold, etc.).
FO = stitching is
completed but the project has not been fully finished.
WiP = Work in Progress,
stitching is not completed.
DNF = Projects I will not
finish (abandon). New column added since January.
Read the chart like this
example:
Of the 14 starts in 2019, 7
of those are FFOs, 6 are FOs and there is still 1 WiP left.

July Notes:
*2021 & 2020 = DNF
column means I’ve abandoned those projects.
**2022 = There is an
additional start for that year because I decided the project I was going to
restart doesn’t need it. I’m going to work around the error and keep going.
*** = I track my projects
in a book and in reviewing the details, I realized I have one project that was
not listed. I’m not sure when I started it, but it is now an FFO.
Thanks for allowing my
inner nerd to come out and count. I hope I didn’t bore you too much.
Enjoy your weekend.

It is absolutely okay to abandon a project that doesn't bring you joy.
I agree with Gene! Of course I'm speaking from a craft closet filled with my abandoned projects - lol! I love your spreadsheet. Excel is my jam, and I will make a spreadsheet for anything, so maybe I'll inventory my needlework stash and make one for my UFOs. Anyway I love what you've done on God Shed His Grace, it's really different.
I didn't realize you have been xstitching that long! You have an amazing number of starts over the years, but you also have a fantastic number of FFO's, impressive!!
I love how you keep track of your projects. I don't think I'm organized enough to do that. It's amazing how much you're accomplished!
