Making good progress, CF. I'm loving watching this, it reminds me of how much I enjoyed stitching it myself.

well usually I only get about, on and off, during the day combined total of 2 hrs..
but late friday and saturday hubby worked late due to inventory of his store..so I sat up and stitched when my daughter went to bed at 9pm till about 11pm when he came home..so I got an extra 4 hrs over the weekend....
and I did manage a bit more on sunday..he got home early and took my daughter out shopping and my son napped..so 2 hr chunk there too..

Just think of it as motivation. If I get this finished I can start a HEAD!!!!! Plus you just can't set this one to the side it is just so great to watch your progress. :beg: Keep stitching this one.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

thanks all!

and now on page 2 i'm trying a different method and it's going MUCH faster!
i picked back up at the bottom of the upper right page..and am actually using the gridding..10x10 square I picked the most used color and stitched only that color..then moved to the next 10x10 square and did the same color..etc etc..all the way to the right until no more of that color was used in any grid square..
then went back to the left and the next row up..10x10 square..etc.

I'll photo it later..camera charging..but instread of stitching every color in a 10x10 square and using the parking method..i'm just sticking with the same color and jumping from grid square to grid square..
