Marathon Weekend Progress

 

The April, 24 Hours of Cross Stitch Marathon ended last night. Over the weekend I was able to finish the left border and turn the corner at the bottom of Halloween at Hollyberry Farm.The leaves and center of the flowers don't show up well but, they are there. I wish that I had changed the called for color.  I also stitched the crow newel under the willow tree.

When I needed a break from flowers and leaves, I worked on April Monthly Markings, and stitched a few rows of Portrait in Red.

Halloween at Hollyberry Farm and Portraint in Red are two of my WIPOcalypse projects for 2021. I would love to finish both this year.

I also worked on 2 Mill Hill kits for my 21  Halloween Ornaments in 2021. I finished the stitching on Candy Corn from Autumn Harvest Collection and now I've pulled out Moonlit Owl. Hope to have both stitched and beaded soon. My other ornament stitching a start on Day 4 of Erica Michaels' 12 Berries of Christmas.

This weekend proved to be very productive.  On Thursday I saw the notification  that the 13 and 14th would be the second WIPGO weekend of 2021. I set a goal of working 100 stiches on Woman Silhouette and to stitch the top border on page one of Nevermore. I was able to meet both goals and I'm especially happy with my progress on Nevermore.
