Family Crest Progress and a New Weekend Start

I got two more days of progress on the Family Crest. I finished 2 more columns (blocks of 10 like I do HAEDs) on the top banner. It goes so slow but I'm making progress! Slowly but surely right?

Tomorrow I'll pick up something else. I narrowed it down to 3 choices and made Jeremiah pick a number. Poor kid gets blamed for whatever he picks haha. He picked a new start which I'm actually really excited about...
This is Winter Messenger from Erica Michaels. It's another one of those TINY little pieces that I love so much. 40ct gauze. The whole piece is 1.9inches square. I got the suggested Weeks Dye Works threads to stitch it with. I bought this while attending my local stitching retreat in southern Indiana last Spring. About time to start it don't ya think? Be back Monday hopefully with an update.

That's really great progress, Well done Katie. I think that is a lovely piece chosen by Jeremiah. My kids pick designs for me...lets say sometimes their choices don't thrill me! lol

Great and steady progress on your family crest too!

Oh my goodness, that is small, but I really like that chart. The family crest is really progressing. I am at the point where I wish my adult children would help in the picking progress. For example, I want to make my daughter a bed quilt, but she has now idea what she wants in either pattern or color. Jeremiah made a great pick!

I have that EM one! Maybe I should stitch it, too! Good progress on the Family Crest. Stitch by stitch, you are getting it done!

The Family Crest is looking lovely, great progress.
Perfect new start, we had a little snow on Friday, but the sun came out and it was all melted away by lunchtime.
