I am still working away at my first square, I am not sure if I will actually get to my second and have it done in time, but here is my most recent wip pic, taken today.

Image

I am stitching as fast as I can and am leaving the rest of the blue background for last. I have made a few tweeks to the pattern I started with like the belt, it was originally in the picture, but when I converted it disappeared, and I edited a bit to make it show up and got it worked in, and I also messed up in a few places with stitch counts but it won't be noticed when it's done.

Bought what I thought was the final colour for my Objection, only to discover I somehow grabbed the wrong colour. Argh! Need to get to the store again and figure out what colour I actually AM missing :banghead:

Just got back in town after my vacation and there were two packages for me! I got your packages kuja.girl and Curtis (not sure of your sprite stitch name, there was no note). All of the squares look great!

W may actually have enough for 2 quilts. Although remember last year I had to fill in some squares with embroidery and it really should have been bigger. Once all of the squares are in, On Sept 1 I will get them all washed and ironed. By the end of that week I will have the final count of squares and will start deciding what we are going to do (one quilt, 2 quilts, a quilt and a throw pillow, etc). If we decide to do more than 1 quilt I will ask for everyone's input about which squares should go in what quilt.

Home from work and another square arrived today. Got the Earthworm Jim square from Stardrifter!! Also, thanks for the contribution to fabric. I really appreciate it. For the three other people that sent money too, I know I probably thanked you with an email or message, but thank you again. I really do appreciate it.

Just letting people know that I sent off my Pokémon HGSS and Pikmin 2 patches off earlier today. Didn't have time to finish and include the FFXIII patch, but it'll be good to go for next year's. Was also in a hurry so I didn't include any extra things that I wanted to, but I'm just glad to get those patches sent off before I forget.

I'm glad they made it! Whenever I mail something handmade I get worried because frankly, it's unique and cannot be insured >.<

...I knew I forgot something. I was so preoccupied with getting everything mailed out that I knew I was going to forget something. Blerg. I'll see if I can't just send a standard envelope out with some cash... which means I also have to go to the bank lol
