Finally! I have worked hard this week to finish the ninth out of 24 pages of Three Boats on a Tropical Beach.
Here is how Three Boats looked three weeks ago.
There was so much confetti to stitch at the end of this page. These are less than half of the flosses I needed to use just this past Friday. Ugh!
So, Happy Dance! This is how that page turned out.
I didn’t even do any stitches in the next page as I wanted the finish so badly. I started this page in October. There are 15 pages left. At this rate it will take me 7.5 more years to complete. I need to get a move on.
I thought I would also share a full length photo so you can see where I am going next.
This Stitch Along is hosted every three weeks by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea who kindly sends us the needed posting reminders.
Sadly, Sharon had a tragic loss in her family this week and will not be updating for a while. You can see her post about that here.

ReplyDeleteThree Boats is a herculean project. It is looking fabulous. I noticed Having A Ball is finished. It's amazing!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the ninth page!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Delete9 out of 24 pages . . . you are so brave & patient. It's going to look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can feel more of the lovely sunset coming in the next page. You really did go for it this time!
ReplyDeleteI am spending much more time on Three Boats now. Realizing that my current pace will take over 7 years to finish pushed me to spend much more time on it.
Deletethat is 3/8s of the way - excellent!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous, Cathie! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Cathie" Lovely progress on Three Boats, this has so many pages, wow, this is a fun design to watch progress.

Thank you for you link to this page. I remember your steady progress on a boat cross stitch project some time back. Your skill amazes me. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!! The time it will take to finish at this pace is daunting but what matters is tok enjoy it. Either that or figure if you can easily do twice as much as usual and keep that up and it'll "only" take three more years haha 😂
ReplyDeleteI am trying to stitch 100 stitches each day to hopefully finish it by the end of next year instead of 7+ more years.
