Is it May?

Well life has been super busy. My middle child graduated with highest honors from Cedarville University with an electrical engineering degree. Yes, this is one proud momma! He also received an award for his senior design project.

Yes, he is the one that used to bead and do needlework. Now he is into the geek world, but I hope one day, he will return to needlework. A mom has to dream!
I am trying to keep up with the 100 Day Project . Because of life, I had to change my stitching plans. Because it was ready and I am stitching it in hand, I decided to stitch a little each day on Here Lie My Needles.

 One day I think I only put in a dozen stitches, but every stitch counts!
I also started Hooray for the Red, White and Blue.

I hate to say how many times I had to restitch the borders and then the bargello section. We are doing this as a study group for my local guild.
I do have an urge to start a new project, but I have way too many large ones going. Hopefully I can post a photo of my progress on one of them tomorrow.

Sharon B is hosting this wonderful challenge where you learn a new stitch a week or if you already know the stitch, work it in a creative way. The information is  here  .
I decided to just do a few stitches on this fabric I dyed and stamped a while ago.

 The stitch from last week was Fly stitch and then this week was the detached chain. I will keep adding and see what happens.
I also did the same stitches on the 2020 block:

I have almost 20 more posts before I hit my 1000 mark. So I think I will give more information in February as that is when my give-away will be!

2018 100 Day Project (Or I am Totally Nuts!)

I heard about this project last year when a mixed media artist I follow posted her 100 days of faces. Like a crazy person I thought "I would like to do that!"  So here it is, time to start the 100 Day Project Challenge and I joined. Nuts. I must be nuts! The idea is to do something creative for 100 days. You are supposed to challenge yourself and see where you end up creatively. Check it out here  if you want to know more.
Originally I thought I would do a mixed media challenge but realized I was setting myself up for failure. I am traveling in February and wouldn't take stuff with me. I decided to keep my theme broad-Needlework- and stick to something I do almost every day. But then I wondered, what is the challenge in that? So I stenciled a piece of fabric and thought I would work on it but realized the thought of another new project would drive me over the edge. Not good. Before falling asleep last night I realized I had started a challenge that I needed to work on and that would fit this 100 day project perfectly! The 2020 crazy quilt!  So for now, I am working on it for at least 10 minutes every day for 100 days.
This is the block unadorned:

 Here is where I started today:

 And here is after about 20 to 30 minutes:

I know I am not going to have 2020 different stitches, but I will have a lot of threads and different combinations. And maybe by 2020 I will have a crazy quilt! (And that is my real goal.)
Anyone else trying to do something for 100 days?
