Giving myself the goal of 100 stitches each day has rapidly increased my progress on Three Boats. This is where it was three weeks ago.
Now, I don't always get 100 stitches each day. Some days there are a little more than 100, some days almost 200 and some days no stitching is completed at all, but it is much, much more than I was doing previously. On the last update, I was hoping to finish the page that I was on by this update. Well I did that!
Can you see that the first two boat are completely stitched?! I have even managed to add a few some more stitches since the page finish. This is where I am now.
This size if this page is about 2/3 of the page above it, so I am hoping to finish it by the end of August. Our daughter and her family are coming to visit for a week starting next Sunday so Three Boats will be stored away during that time. We are also planning a trip to Saratoga, NY later in August.
This Stitch Along is hosted every three weeks by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea who kindly sends us the needed posting reminders.

Wow, great progress. I have also been trying for 100 stitches a day on my pictorial projects and agree that consistency is key on these big projects. I love seeing this one every time you show it - the colors are yummy.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Such great progress. I love to see your progress every 3 weeks. I believe this is biggest progress I've seen. Bravo! Enjoy the company and have fun. ;^)
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun and exhausting when my daughter and her family visit. Hopefully it is warm enough to enjoy the pool.
Deleteoh daily stitches add up, and create a whole picture. I like the colors and lines in your growing work

Yes, they daily stitches do add up and the picture emerges more quickly.
Deletelovely to see you managed to stitch the goal you'd set yourself!
ReplyDeleteI am not hard on myself if I don't get 100 stitches each day, but I am making so much progress that I am enjoying the process more now.
DeleteBravo Cathie! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe 100 a day method has definitely speeded up progress. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the day when I can finally showcase another piece in this Stitch Along.
DeleteWow, 100 a day is a lot and you are cruising along! Congratulations on finishing the second boat!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying stitching 100 a day because I am seeing the progress that I am making.
Deleteyou are doing so much! I love the 100 count and I hope you have fun with the next hundred (or more) stitches.
ReplyDeleteMost days I am enjoying getting that 100 stitches in. Not so much when there is a lot of confetti stitching.
