3 of 12 finished...
Shores of Hawk Run Hollow - Carriage House Samplings. Finished a third block on that bottom row. Started the third block of the top row... mostly because it is a house... and houses take a while. Each block is about 90 x 90 stitches just to wrap my head around things. And I am going slowly to verify that I stitched my boxes correctly years ago. One box at a time....

Another Block Done...
Finished the already started bottom corner block, and then started the bottom row second block. Shores of Hawk Run Hollow from Carriage House. I don't know how to count the finished blocks... I doubt I will hang with this long enough to finish the whole thing. So it won't get to a complete finish this round. But it has been lovely to pick it back up again. I also have Houses of Hawk Run already started and in the pile of started things. Two blocks done, is a long way from having twelve blocks done... And just because it was easy, here is where Houses of Hawk Run Hollow got to... Not sure, but it was one of the photos from some point I would have posted in the past. Feels like I should stop Shores and go finish Houses since it might get to a finish... But I would like to finish a few of the blocks on Shores this round.

From The Already Started Pile....
Pulled Shores of Hawk Run Hollow from Carriage House back out. It was last seen in March of 2020. I had the end 3 blocks started, and decided to start that whale block - and completed it. I took the photo before I had all the water in, but filled it in after the photo. One whole block done. Then started to fill in the bottom corner 12th block. The below photo shows where it was when I picked it back up.
I am having a bit of trouble finding my stitching bug. I sit down intending to stitch, and somehow just play solitaire on the computer instead. My body is still in after chemo repair mode... which honestly seems like it can take a whole year after treatment ends. The good news is - I do have plenty to stitch.

Two More Finishes...
Finish #10 for 2023. Little Red Schoolhouse Pinkeep - Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery. On PTP Ale 28 count, one over one, using Gloriana silk in the 062 Cranberry color. When I saw it, I ordered it.
Violets and Verses - Mary Woodrow. Went back to this one, and the borders met up. On the pattern the "U" and "V" were reversed on that completed line, so I just fixed it and did it first so I would not forget. Dove Gray 28 count jobelan, and dmc 3799, so a gray on gray effect. However, I don't think Dove Gray is offered anymore.
My treatment ended... I have follow up things, and my insurance might have ended. It took me 51 weeks, and I really pushed at the end to get the last couple of appointments in before June ended to be sure I was covered.
