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!
Your parrot 🦜 is delightful 😊 I also agree 👍 with Gene.
I think your charts are amazing, Jeanna! Way to go, keeping track of everything like you do. Memorial Day is awesome, but I get it - sometimes we just lose interest in things. Work on whatever gives you joy!
It is so fun to look at your stats, Jeanna. You have accomplished so much. Your Memorial Day looks so pretty as does your Parrot. I wish you a wonderful weekend working on what brings you joy. Hugs.
Your statistics are flat out AMAZING! You really are finisher! What a fantastic way to document your progress with those charts!
it looks like amazing progress to me! maybe the flag one is just a july project - and you get it out again next year? it is lovely tho
