<span style="font-size: large;">For whatever reason, I was having a hard time stitching the white on this fabric. I did a lot of ripping and restitching. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Probably just old eyes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I haven't felt like stitching. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished the body of the first snowman. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did have to take the S out on Christmas because it was one stitch too high. So the row above of letters looked off. Easy fix. And surprising look it looks much better. Funny how the eye can see it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Friday, June 26th was the end of the three-week mark of working on the second stocking! Of course, at the end of the evening, I noticed another mistake. So, I ended up doing more riping!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Somehow I didn't get a picture on Friday, I do on Thursday and then on Sunday but I didn't work on it on Saturday.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here it is on Thursday evening. I left this stocking for second because it is 30 count to the inch and the other was 28 count. I am glad I did this one second, the fabric is a little stiffer, the weave isn't as uneven, it is very square and went on the frame easier, so I don't have to keep messing with the frame to keep it tight. Now if I could only learn to count right. It isn't the counting as much as remember where I am. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">By Thursday I had gone this far, I was so happy with my progress. Until I noticed that the fourth window was too high. I kept checking and I thought I was in the right spot. I was to the branch, it was just the wrong branch, I needed to be one branch down. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to pick it all out, every last red stitch. There isn't enough fabric to move it up, so out it came. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Some other things I have been doing is making cards. I wanted to give my cousins in England some homemade cards for thanking them for letting us visit with them. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip because of the coronavirus. Not happy about it but it is the best thing to do. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This does give me more time for making these little treats. Especially since I was behind in my original goal. Maybe if I made simpler cards it would go faster. But that isn't my style. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't think I ever mentioned the full name of the quilt or the designer. Let me fix that. It is <i>Welcome Wagon Yo-Yo Quilt</i> by Kim Diehl from her book, <u>Simple Graces</u>. I can't find her website. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a lot of websites that carry her books and patterns. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This how the quilt looks like in the book. I found this picture on the web, I tried taking a picture from the book but you couldn't see the whole quilt. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just as I was sewing the last row on I notice a mistake in the last three blocks on the last two rows. If you look hard enough you can see it. It is supposed to be light to dark triangles and I have light to light and dark to dark instead. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And yes it would have bugged me if I hadn't fixed it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On April 25th all the rows were connected and the center was constructed and I started previewing fabric I had in my stash. None of my stash fabric is big enough to do the job, so I have to wait until the quilt shop is open again to buy my fabric. I won't buy it online because it is too hard to determine the color. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I need to go to my calendar to determine how many weeks I have been working on this stocking. I didn't work on it at all last week. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those little individual snowflakes were a pain. I almost didn't do them, I wasn't sure it would add anything to the design, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but I am glad I did. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On April 19th I started making the Confetti Stitch for the individual snowflakes. This is the website where I learned how to do the <a href="https://studio-koekoek.com/how-to-make-a-confetti-cross-stitch-cross-stitching-a-lonely-cross-stitch-surrounded-with-blank-cross-stitch-fabric/" target="_blank">Confetti Stich</a>.
