Got a good start over the weekend (didn't do much anything else, aside from church) while I had natural light. A lot of stitches were done in 939, so that helped! There's actually a little bit more done...turns out the camera didn't catch the few stitches on the right edge

Glad you have a working computer now!

Re: Stitching for Charity 2016/2017
I was SO excited! Did the last few stitches and then it got measured. Left to right, one stitch short. No big deal, easy to fix! Top to bottom...over 1/2 an inch off!
Can't figure out how this happened....scratch that. Just measured...it's not 16 count...it's 16 count wide, 18 count deep
Needless to say, this block won't be sent in.

Whoa, you mean the actual fabric is off? That is such a shame, because it's a lovely image

Re: Stitching for Charity 2016/2017
Thanks! It is! One direction, it's 16 count...the other direction, 18 count. Killer thing is, when I ordered it, they were out of the smaller pieces, so I got a larger roll and was planning on getting at least 3 blocks out of it. SO not going to use the rest of this aida for blocks!
On a good note...I measured my Toy Blast block (nowhere close to being done)...and it's the right size!

That's unfortunate! But hey, you get to keep your pretty stitching, right? Silver linings and all that

Totally! It will be nice to have it up on my wall...oddly enough, I don't have any of my stitching up

@mbiogirlumd...Glad I'm not the only one with that challenge
Met my weekend crafting goal!
And with that, here's a pic showing off what 70K+ stitches look like!
Hope to get them in the mail later this month!
And yes, already thinking of new block ideas...someone's been noticing a lot of mushrooms in non-Mario games

Re: Stitching for Charity 2016/2017
Hey everyone!
I am sorry I kind of disappeared. I have been super busy. I wanted to let you know I received squares from Awenmir and Firehawke. I need squares BY August 1 from everyone so please make sure you get them finished up and in the mail!
If you mailed it to the Maryland address in the past 2 weeks I have not been there so have not seen them.

Re: Stitching for Charity 2016/2017
Haha, so not funny, but I actually procrastinated too long. I've only got about 20% of my square done and for some reason I thought they were due no later than September 1st. I tried to push myself to get it done but my hands simply can't handle that much stitching in such a short time period anymore. Apologies! It will have to be for next year.
