I finally got around to updating my 101 Things list. October 15 marked the 6 month point of my goals, and I’ve already completed 28 of my 101 tasks. Some of them won’t be completed until the very end, so I’m pleased thus far with my overall progress.

I had hoped to start the finishing on my Red Desert Scissor Pocket this week for the SAL. Unfortunately, I had missed in the directions that I would need some interfacing and I didn’t have any. So, finishing will have to wait until next week now. I think I should still finish on time with the rest of the group though.

In other stitching, I’ve mostly been working on Nancy’s piece for the Quaker RR I coordinate on the Legacy board. This is round 4 for us, so we’re at the halfway point of the RR. From the photos I’ve seen, everyone’s pieces are looking great! I can’t wait to get mine back at the end to get it framed and hung in my home.

The only other piece I’ve worked on this week is my Home of a Needleworker by Little House Needleworks. I’ll try and get an updated progress pic posted in the next few days. I’m still really please with how quickly this piece is stitching up. It’s another one that I definitely hope to get framed soon after completion to hang in my home.

On to this week’s SBQ:

If you were to come across a sampler chart that caught your eye and appealed to you, would you or would you not stitch it if it had a morbid or “creepy” saying on it? If not, why?

While I’m not a big fan of the tombstone pithies and such, I don’t really think having a “creepy” saying on a sampler I really liked would deter me from stitching it. I don’t really think I would stitch something specifically “creepy” though like a tombstone sampler.

Happy stitching!
