I know this is a small update, not as big as I usually do...However, it took me 3 tries to get the dormer window done. I finally ended up having to undo 200 stitches and redoing them and finally got them right. I was and am still confused on the 1/4 stitches. It was the fact that they were diagonal and white. But it finally matched up after 3 tries and I can move on! Here is the small update!

Just finished putting the last 1/2 stitch into Row 2 of Page 1. A lot of it is a very lite blue so not sure how well it will show up in the pictures! I did lose my stitching bug for a few days but it's back now. Not as strongly as when I did the 1000 stitches in one day but progress is progress! I have been working on winding my thread onto the numbered bobbins too so I'm actually organizing my thread. I will work on that next. I try to do 10 bobbins at a time. Here's the pics!

Well, I have good news and I have bad news. I'll start with the bad news. I left this project in my car and had my sunroof open and the project got wet. It was okay but my needle rusted and left a big old rust spot on the 18 ct fabric. So I have scrapped that project. I was sooo upset because I was so far. However, as of yesterday I restarted the project and that's the good news. This time, however, I am doing it on 28 ct fabric. The great news is that I am doing it 2 over 2 (2x2 as i call it) and it is going soooo well. In addiction to a bunch of other things I managed to stitch 1000+ stitches today on 'Good Neighbors'. I now have row 1 on page 1 done and I just started it about 11 am. So I had to take pics and post them to show my progress. I am really liking the 2x2 stitching, it looks so neat! I didn't have internet for awhile at home so sorry for the lack of updates but I'm back and have been stitching like crazy! Here are the project pics for the 28 ct fabric. Hope you like!

This project is not apart of the crazy challenge but thought I would add the pictures anyway. I do have a separate blog for this project which the address for that is www.natsbigproject-goodneighbors.blogspot.com but thought I would add the pics here as well to have all of my stitching in one place. I started in I think July 2011. I put it down for a long time but have picked it up and have completed Row 4 alllll the way across the page! Here are the pics!
