Half Way Happy Dance

Finally, Three Boats is halfway stitched. This is how it looked three weeks ago.

This is how Three Boats looked two weeks ago when I finally finished the page I was working on. Four pages make up one column.

Twelve of the 24 pages are now complete. I am halfway there! Happy, happy dance!!! I was asked how I was going to celebrate. I took a day off from stitching on it. Only one day though, then I started tackling the next page. This page and the next should finally finish all the stitching of the palm trees. This is were I am now.


A lot of that blue was all one color floss that I worked on over 3 days. It made getting to 100 stitches a day quite easy. Much better than when there is a lot of confetti and therefore a lot of color changes and needle threading. The far right stitches are where this page ends widthwise. 

This Stitch Along is hosted every three weeks by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea who kindly sends us the needed posting reminders.

Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and take some time to visit the other bloggers below who are part of this stitch-along. There is a wide variety of stitching projects. These talented stitchers are from all over the world, so please allow for the time differences and check back for each post.

    1. How sad is it that I had to go all the way back to March of 2020 to find when I had started Three Boats. I know I have worked on a couple of other projects in that time, but boy you must be tired of seeing this.

    1. Oh my, you are optimistic. I am hoping to finish this by the end of 2027. That will mean it has taken over 7 years to complete.
