Yep, the orange represents 70-79 degrees Fahrenheit. There will be more orange, for sure. :-)

WOW what an interesting design Debbie and it will be interesting to watch it. As for warmth - well I can understand you are more than ready for some but I don't want any more of it.

Great stitching and it will be fun to watch this grow month by month.

It’s an original. :-) I love doing Smyrna crosses. I’ll add a legend and the year at some point. And maybe I’ll even start the coordinating afghan soon.

I actually don’t mind the cold. Well, maybe when it gets down to single digits I mind a little. :-) I’d rather be cold than hot - especially when we get into the 90’s. Thankfully our nights cool off.

I missed when you posted the finish of your " Stand for your Country..." Wow, that was quick and beautifully stitched. :applesauce: :applesauce:

I love the idea of the temperature chart. It looks good too. :D

Oooh that's unusual, I've not seen anything like that before.

I really like it.

And you Stand for your flag turned out beautifully too.

Here's an update on the Mill Hill kit. I've actually done a bit more but I'm too lazy to get up and get my phone to take a picture. :-)

Image

And I finally started the temperature afghan. I've done 21 days (I'm a bit behind - ha).

Image

And I started Columbine by Thea Gouverneur. I changed the fabric to 22 count (my eyes are questioning that decision). This is what it should look like when it's done:

Image

And this is where I am. Disregard the colors - the fabric is white and most of the flower portion is shades of white. Again, I'm too lazy to get up and take a better picture with natural daylight.

Love the idea of the temperature afghan! And the flower is gorgeous - good luck with beating the fabric into submission :-), it;ll look stunning!

Oooh, you're making great progress. "Packed up her Potential" is coming along beautifully.

How are finding stitching white on white?

The temperature blanket is looking snuggleable :wub:

The Mill Hill picture is progressing quickly. It must have been tricky to stitch her arms and legs.

The temperature afghan looks snuggly :D

Columbine will look fabulous, especially on the small count fabric.
All great projects and so different from each other.

Love them all Debbie but especially the Columbine - that is going to be oh so gorgeous. I am intrigued by the idea of the temperature afghan and it is coming along - you are only a few days behind.

A lovely update of all your craft work. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:
