Here&#8217;s my progress this week. If I keep on at a good pace, I may just be able to finish it and call this my Small for February. It will be another medium small.

PQR. It is exciting to be so close to the end with this one! I started with the letter boxes. There are, of course, many fun specialty stitched in it too, including a lot of Queen Stitches for Q of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also started a small embroidery project. It is a kit from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avleaembroidery.com\">Avlea Folk Embroidery<\/a>  I saw some of her needle minders on Instagram and when I went to buy them, this hopped in my cart. I think it\u2019s pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2023-2-2-185818.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2023-2-2-185818.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2023-2-2-185818.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2023-2-2-185818.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Finally, I started my Valentine&#8217;s project for Jo&#8217;s Secret Stitching Sweetheart Bloghop. But I can&#8217;t share that with you yet! I hope to get a lot done on it this weekend because I am going on a trip, on a plane, ALL BY MYSELF! For a weekend away for my brother&#8217;s wedding. I haven&#8217;t been on a trip all by myself in 15 years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finishing those 2 little projects last week of the VWX section on the Sampler of Stitches and the Philanthropic Pumpkin made me so happy because I could go back to a lovely stitch from last year&#8230;Rosehips and Ivy from Blackbird Designs.
