Great Wave Stitch-a-Long, part 23

Hi everyone! I'm posting this check-in early as we'll be camping again. This time the rain will be replaced by hot hot weather in central Washington! I'm really enjoying our camping trips, but it does mean I get less stitching done. I bring along small projects to work on by the campfire, but nothing as big (or as precious!) as Great Wave. Can you imagine getting a little spark burn? Yikes!

But here's where I was last time:  

And here's where I am now, with those columns finished and a little extra:

The sky is filled in, so just boats and water left!

Even when we're not going camping so much, summer is a challenging time for me to stitch. There's always so much more to do! So by the time of our next check-in, in three weeks, I hope to finish one column section to keep moving across the pattern. 

Until then, why not check out the projects my fellow stitchers are working on: Avis, Claire, Gun, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Megan, Deborah, Renee, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, AJ, Cathie, Linda, and Helen.

Great Wave Stitch-a-Long, part 22

Hi everyone! Apologies for the late post. We were camping, cozied up in a tent listening to the rain patter on the roof, and I said, "Oh my gosh! It's stitch-a-long check-in weekend!!!" By the time we got home and got everything hung up to dry, well, posting wasn't going to happen. 

These last three weeks have been a bit rough -- I came back from our last weekend away with a happily mild case of COVID and have been pretty drained. My energy is coming back, but I did a lot more sleeping than I often do... and not as much stitching as I would have liked. But here's where I was last time, 3/4 of the stitching complete:  

I had hoped to have the next column and a half stitched by this check-in, but sleep won out over stitching! Here's where I am now:

Quite a bit of that chunk done, but quite a bit left to go. 

By the time of our next check-in, in three weeks, I hope to finish this section and keep moving across the pattern. 

Until then, why not check out the projects my fellow stitchers are working on: Avis, Claire, Gun, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Megan, Deborah, Renee, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, AJ, Cathie, Linda, and Helen.
