Three weeks have passed since our last update. A lot has happened in those 21 days. The Olympics were wonderful to watch each day and are, sadly, over now. Here on Long Island we had a blizzard that dumped 29 inches of snow last Sunday into Monday. This is my back yard. That is a 6 foot fence with bushes covered in drifts.
That snow was followed by another inch or 2 on Wednesday. Ugh! We only saw the green grass for one day after the early February snow storm before this blizzard arrived. You would think that I did a whole lot of stitching on Three Boats, but I don't work on it in front of the television. I like to listen to music when I stitch this as I need to carefully count where the stitches need to be placed. I don't really have to pay attention to the music.
This is where Three Boats was for the February update.
This is where I am now.
I filled in a lot of different blue flosses. There are more to work on still. I had hoped to finish the page I am working on by the end of February, but now I am aiming for the end of March.

that is a lot of snow - when will you get a warm up I wonder
ReplyDeleteI always wonder when I see that much snow, where does it all go when it melts?? It must be very soggy for a long while.
ReplyDeleteThat’s still a very nice chunk of progress Cathie. I hope the snow has melted off some now and you get a real spring soon!
ReplyDeletethose warm colours contrasting with the snow outside!
ReplyDeleteThankfully we enjoyed a trip to CA while all this snow was on the ground. We got to experience the warm colors in person.
DeleteWow! That's a lot of snow!! If that happened in the UK everything would grind to a halt. Nice to see all the blue stitching growing.
ReplyDeleteEverything ground to a halt for one to two days here, but our roads were plowed quickly and by the third day most everything was back to normal. I am enjoying working on this piece right now.
Deletewow that is a lot of snow!!! We had flurries the whole time and no accummulations.
ReplyDeleteIt was much more snow than we have had in quite some time. I am glad that it is gone now.
DeleteEvery stitch counts. I would not be able to watch tv while working on this either. Our snow is melting and should be all gone by the end of this week. We will likely get more before spring arrives. Take care. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteWell done Cathie nice stitching , but not the snow I use to like it when I was young .
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a few more sunny days now.
Have fun hugs June.
Snow outside but a tropical beach with your needle. Stay warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is nice to be working on a project that makes you feel warm.
DeleteYou are keeping up with excellent progress. I wish I could do as much. xx
ReplyDeleteThere are times that I feel like I am hardly making any progress
