You have made so much progress, and just so fast too. I would love to be able to sew this one - so little time, so much to do.

Remarkable.

Richard.

I would have such a hard time putting this piece down. But I can definitely relate wanting to work on some holiday projects.

Thank you for taking the time to post the update picture. :D

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!!

Last night, I initially felt a little at odds, since I didn't have my big project to work on. But then, I pulled out the first batch of Christmas ornaments and at least read through the instruction sheet so I have an idea of where to go with them. I'll post updates over at the Mini Projects thread if you want to follow along with my progress there!

I'm baaaaaack! I started back to the map about a month ago, and I finished the second row, and my 14th page out of 28, about 1:30 this morning.

Here's the full thing:

Here's the right half:

Here's the left half:

I've already started on the next row/page. The third row has a LOT more white in it, so I'm hoping to finish the entire row by the end of May. Keeping my fingers crossed!
