So 11 new starts. I really enjoyed my day. I have to admit it was really hard to stop at the hour mark. I really wanted to keep working on each one. I was already told (by mom haha) that Flock Together must be worked on and finished soon. She really likes that one. I also know there are a few of the To the Beach pieces I don't own. Need to fix that of course. Thanks Jo for the fun reason to be completely lazy and get a ton of stitching worked into one day.

I adore all of those new starts. I especially love all the beach-themed ones. Now you have a lot of UFOs. Next time will have to be a UFO-a-long? (giggling) --Andrea
Totally agree with Andrea! All the beach themed ones are my favourite. Looks like you had a great stitching fun day!
That was a great idea to start new ones and you made lots of progress on all. I thought of doing but was occupied with daily duties on that day. I haven't got to do any IHSW till date.
Love all your great starts Katie.

Fantastic work today! I was loving all the beach themed ones and then the snowman appeared! I love the sandcastle pillow and the gorgeous sea turtle, he'd go great with my Discworld Mappe!
my spelling was terrible so I'll start again!
you really made use of the longest day,great stitching on all your pieces.
So many fun sea-themed pieces! I think of you every time I see one "Does Katie have that one?" ;) Glad you had a fun day and I hope to join in one of these years. Also, I think you chose your projects well, they all look like they can be finished in a reasonable amount of time.
You chose some gorgeous charts for your Longest Day! I really love the seaside designs too. The colours are muted and so pretty.
Wow, 11 starts in one day!! They're all very cute, though. Good luck with the SAL.
So great to go through your longest-day-of-the-year-stitching-marathon. And you managed it so well. I'm sure that it was a lot of fun to start all these great Hands on Design charts and Mill Hill kits.
When I joined Jo last year it was - for me as well - the hardest thing to put the project away after half an hour, so I can understand you very well on this.
What a great idea for a new-start stitching frenzy! You've chosen some really lovely pieces to start and stitch on, all of a very manageable size. I look forward to seeing progress and/or completion photos soon! :)
Oh wow, you certainly know how to keep busy! I love all the beach ones and the Christmas ones are perfect too.
