WIPocalypse - January update

I only had time to work on one project this week:

A Petit Sampling Etui
January 1st

A Petit Sampling Etui
January 9th:

This might not look like much progress to the casual observer, but I finished all of the queen stitch flowers in the border, the first row of the alphabet, and started the second row.  Since the alphabet is over one and I can only stitch it when I haven't been staring at a computer screen all day I'm actually pleased with my progress. 

For the next update I hope to be finished with this square and well under way on the next one.

    Well done on the progress! Only a stitcher can understand how long even little progress takes. Good luck on getting the project finished.

    It is just looking wonderful. I am plowing thru some o/o myself right now. My eyes get tired too quick for it.

    Oh, I think stitchers know that "square inches covered" isn't always the most accurate measure of accomplishment. *nod* It's looking really good, and I think you got a lot done! :)

    I'm another WIPocalypse stitcher. I just stopped by to say Fantastic Progress. Every stitch you make it one stitch closer to a finish. Keep it up!

    Hi Carol, I too am WIPocalypsing it. Beautiful progress...I love the Queens stitch, but it does take more time than the easy xstitches. I'll post in a day or so....Until the next full moon...may your needle glide through the fabric.

    Thanks everyone. Only stitchers could look at that small amount of change and see it as real progress :-)
