May Turtle Trot Post

How can it be the 10^th of May already?  Oh wait 4 of those days were spent at the Washington coast so I guess it is okay that a third of the month is already past us.  With it being the 10^th of the month, it is time to post my stitching progress on the projects that I picked for the 2014 Turtle Trot SAL (stitch-a-long).  If you would like to find out more information about this SAL, click here.  Make sure to check out what the other participants have stitched on this past month. 

So back to what I have been doing besides preparing the camp trailer for our trip to the coast.  My stitching was set aside to make time for all the other projects that I had to get done during April.   So it is remarkable that I was able to stitch at all.  I stitched on two of my twelve remaining projects that I identified to work on this year.  The first project was a continued stitching on Paula Vaughan’s Good Neighbors.  I did not get through all the half stitches that I wanted to but I did get the roses and leaves on the climbing rose bush done. 

 

The second project Bent Creek’s Patriotic Row that I worked on was stitched in the last couple of days.  I took it with me to the coast hoping I would have some spare time here and there but I did not.  When I got home I was so wore out that I did not pick up my stitching until a couple of days ago.  I have made a couple of changes in floss since I changed the linen to a light blue instead of the natural that the pattern called for. 

 

Well that is all the stitching that I have done since my last Turtle Trot posting in April.  I finally made a decision on what project that I wanted to pull out of the dresser for my fourteenth project.  It is a Dimensions kits of Christmas ornaments.  I forgot to take pictures so I will get that next month.  Below is the listing of projects that I have selected for this year.
