Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 10/18 update—it is DONE!!
Just finished about an hour ago!!! I’ll post this first photo, with all the wrinkles, and then I’ll post an update after I wash and iron it later this week. I can get this mailed to my mom in plenty of time for Christmas—yay!! And I’ll even have time to stitch some ornaments to send along with it. h...

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 9/19 update
Second row is done!! The third row will be around 35-40 rows of stitches only, so I should have it done before Thanksgiving, I hope. (Excuse the wrinkles!)

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 7/18 update
Two more pages finished in 35 days! I’ll be slowing down soon, though—I have visitors coming in August and things to do before then. I think I’m still on track to finish before Christmas, though!

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 6/13 update
I just finished the top row!! It only took 70 days to get it done, which is much faster than my earlier Scarlet Quince pattern pace. Definitely still loving the app, and I cannot wait to get to more of the yellow colors of the sky in this second row. A nice advantage to the app means that I don’t ha...

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 5/16 update
Thanks, everyone! I am really liking this project so far. Mabel Figworthy, it is really easy! There is very little confetti, especially when compared with my last project (SQ’s Garden of Delight). I was actually worried that the color might look a bit blocky, since there is so much grouping of the s...

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 5/4 update
Debby (fccs), I am just loving this app! I can see that not having access to it offline could definitely be a pain in certain circumstances, but for me, it works great. I only do my stitching here at home, where I have wifi unless it goes out. Even then, since I am using my phone to access the app, ...

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 5/4 update
I already have two pages done after just one month! There is so little confetti in this pattern that I am just zooming along. I did find one floss color that I missed in my order, so I have to hold off on stitching that color until my next delivery arrives (the bad thing about the small orders is th...

Re: SQ Sunset Bar Harbor - Kathy A begun 4/4/21
This is my third SQ pattern, and the smallest one so far. The first had over 185,000 stitches, the second 220,000, but this one has just over 92,000, so I am hoping I an finish it in about a year. The app will help speeding me up, as will the apparent fact that there seems to be a LOT less confetti ...

SQ Sunset Bar Harbor by Kathy A - 10/18 update—it is DONE!!
Well, since I finished the three-year Scarlet Quince Garden of Delight, I had to dive head first into my next piece by them! I’m doing “Sunset, Bar Harbor” by Frederic Edwin Church in 1854. I love sunsets, sky studies, and Bar Harbor, which I have visited twice in my life with my mom. So, doing this...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A FINISHED!!! 03/25/2021 update
I will be using that app for the first time! I am looking forward to it, since I was starting to get paranoid about getting pink highlighter on my stitching when marking off finished stitches on the paper copy of the pattern book.

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A FINISHED!!! 03/25/2021 update
Thanks everyone! I just finished disassembling my blended thread bobbins and get to put my leftover floss back into my permanent stash. After that, I’ll know which colors I’ll need for the next project, “Sunset, Bar Harbor” by Frederic Church. My mom and I have been there twice and I adore sunset co...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A 10/15/2020 update
Thanks so much for the good thoughts!! The good thing about having been there for so long is that I’ll be getting severance checks until next June as well as unemployment checks for not quite as long, so I have taken a bit of a break for this first month. Job hunting will begin in earnest soon, thou...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A 10/15/2020 update
Eight very eventful months later!! I only finished a row plus a half-size first page of the final row, even with quarantine and being laid off my job of 28 years a month ago. I probably won’t have this done until end of January at the earliest, even though I was hoping to finish it by year’s end. ht...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A 02/09/2020 update
Wow, guess I haven’t updated in about six months! After figuring out a TinyPic replacement, I think I have it figured out. Finished off another row in those six months. Only one and a half rows to go! (The “half” is the height on the page, btw.) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49513295067_b2fcab...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A 07/13/19 update
It’s been another while, but I have been keeping up on my stitching! I just haven’t been taking photos of my progress. Well, I just now finished off Row 3 (of 5 1/2) and remembered to take a pic before repositioning the fabric in the frame.

Re: 2019 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
I was recently posting on another forum about my current Scarlet Quince project, which led me to the site for the first time in months. Big mistake! I ended up looking at their Recent Additions page and couldn’t tear my eyes off of this gorgeous painting of Sunset Bar Harbor [Maine]: https://www.sca...

Re: SQ Garden of Delight by Kathy A 02/28/19 update
After a year and a third off, I'm baaaaack! I returned to working on this just before Christmas of last year, and have done a few more pages since then. I just finished off the latest page at lunchtime today, and finally took a picture to mark my progress. The fabric for the next page has the center...
