Melissa's Hannah Update

Well, I think I've finally gotten caught up on life enough after getting home from vacation on Sunday to actually post my progress photo for the SAL this month. I had a great time on vacation and actually did get in some good stitching time since I was vacationing with Terri and Tracy both of whom are also in this SAL.

We all took along our Hannah samplers to work on them since it was the SAL week. I actually didn't make as much progress as I had thought, but I kept getting distracted by the beauty of Hawaii. :-)

I freely admit that I've not worked on this piece each month since we started the SAL several months back, but I have worked on it during each of the past two months. My goal is to start working on it each month going forward.

Anyway, here is my latest progress photo. You can click the image for a larger view.



The little pin cushion in the photo is one that I picked up in a local Hawaiian quilt shop in Honolulu. They had some GORGEOUS quilts in there and it was really tempting to bring one home with me, but I managed to settle for just getting the pin cushion instead. :-)

Another update

An update!

Coming along nicely!

Another motif started!

It seems as though I am the only one stitching this - a SAL for one! 

And I stitched on the right week too!

I put a few more stitches into Hannah this past week. I am so pleased with how she is turning out. I would love to see other people's progress!

Just a bit more

I stitched some more over the weekend - not much - a bit more of the alphabets and a start on another motif.

Where is everyone else? Has everyone given up on the SAL?  Please post your photo or just post to let me know I am not alone here!

Update

A few more stitches into Hannah. I finished the top two alphabets to the Z. I like the overall effect of one strand over two on 40ct - it looks so delicate.  Sorry for the awful picture but it's raining here (yet again) so the lighting is really bad.

I missed SAL again!

Last week was really hectic here with being back at work so I did not manage to put one stitch in Ms Hannah. I wanted to finish a needleroll for the April Monthly Finishing Challenge which I managed to do even it was at the last minute. So - my HB week is now this week - yet again late - sorry. I will try to stitch on the right week in May.

Did anyone manage to stitch?

New Stitcher!

Welcome to the stitch-along, Lisa!

Checking in!

Hi fellow HB Stitchers! Sorry I haven't been around. Between DH's race, my race, my new job, and no time, I haven't been stitching on anything, nor have I been able to check any of my blogs. I shudder to think what my bloglines looks like right now.

It's great to see you have all been carrying on and your progress is wonderful! I promise to be able to contribute myself this month :)

Week 1 Progress

This is how far I got with my weeks stitching. I was amazed at how quickly this is coming along and I am so enjoying it, even if I did get a visit from a little frog! There are closeups on my blog if anyone is interested. 

A new start

After much procrastination for fabric and floss I eventually decided to use a 40ct antique white linen from my stash and NPI Very Dark Forest Green (407). I am a week late in starting so will have this week as my SAL week but like Tracy I am really enjoying stitching this and I might find it hard to stop and I am looking forward to starting a motif.

Happy stitching

Tracy's Progress

Hi everyone.

Here's my progress as of last night. I know I'm not technically following the rules of the stitch-a-long, but right now, this is the only thing I've been motivated to do on the creative front - so I'm sticking with it for now. It's going really well, and I'm pleased with my progress.

End of Round 1

I finally got around to taking a photo of my version of Hannah as of the end of Round 1. Unfortunately, I didn't get any stitching done on her over the weekend, so this was 4 days of stitching time.
