I haven&#8217;t posted on IG in almost a year. It feels like it might be time to do that again and the September Sampler Soir\u00e9e is as good a reason as any to start again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had mentioned I had a plan to work on Anna Millet this month, and try to get her half completed. I also plan to finish Mary Ellen Turner. In between I&#8217;ve got the BBD SAL. I&#8217;m still undecided on a bird project but I have a bunch to choose from so it will be a hard choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sept 1 and 2 I was a good stitcher and I exceeded my minimum stitching daily requirement on Anna. I stitched 10 letters and some border. The goal is 3 letters and some border each day. Some of the letters were small. That&#8217;s ok. If I do more smaller letters in one day I can work on just 1 or 2 big letters on another day. However, you can&#8217;t notice much growth in just a couple days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_2026-08-21-163941.jpg?resize=640%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_2026-08-21-163941.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_2026-08-21-163941.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_2026-08-21-163941.jpg?resize=500%2C400&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_2026-09-03-100941.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-7540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_2026-09-03-100941.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_2026-09-03-100941.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_2026-09-03-100941.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">After <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t stitch on Mary Ellen, but here is our start of the month picture for the record.
