Happy Good Friday, Friends!
Salute to Abigail by Blackbird Designs is the only cross stitch project I worked on in March. I put in 1,977 stitches.
This is where I was on March 31st
Last week I planned to finish the border because I wanted to make sure it matched up at the end. Well…it didn’t and I frogged TWICE! I’ve decided to finish the motifs in the middle and then finish the border. This is where I am as of last evening…
I fully finished two older pieces last month.

Ah, sail away is perfect for a home near the coast.
How big is Abigail? It is looking great. Love the Fresh Cut framing. Sail Away is really cute - perfect for Florida!
You have Easter plans?
Lucky and loved daughter to receive Sail Away! Abigail is amazing. All the details in the piece leave me gobsmacked.
I'm sorry your border didn't match up - that's so frustrating! Your finishes are really pretty. I love the one with the lighthouse- they're a favorite thing for us to visit when we are on the coast. Have a wonderful Friday!
Congrats to your daughter and her new home. I love that you're headed there. Sometimes my patches (fabric) don't match up. That's the way it goes. No biggie. Onto the next one, I say. Either way, happy crafting. And safe travels.
Thank you! We are looking forward to seeing our daughter and her little family (boyfriend and dog LOL). Enjoy your weekend ahead.
Congratulations to your daughter and her new home! Sail Away is a perfect gift for her!
Happy Easter to you, dear friend. :)
Sail Away seems perfect for a Florida home. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you too. Have a lovely visit with your daughter next week. 🐣🐣🐣
Two lovely finishes and Abigail is looking lovely. Happy Easter. xx
Lovely work - its always concerning when you get closer to where patterns should meet up - hope it wasn't too much frogging....
Do you use an app to keep track of your stitch count etc?
I've recently purchased Pattern Keeper and love it compared to paper charts.
Wonderful works... I love.
Happy Easter!
Greetings from Viola
Thank you! We are looking forward to seeing our daughter.
Thank you, Viola. I hope you had a nice Easter!
You're making good progress on your projects. Your daughter will love Sail Away for her new home. I hope you had a great Easter!
