I hope you are having a great day. Our weather is a beautiful 72° (22° C) so. I guess Spring is truly on it's way! Hopefully it won't change it's mind!
This month in a group I am in we are playing S P R I N G O which of course, is a variation of BINGO. The board is interesting; here is my starting board:
The seven columns were assigned the letter is in SPRINGO and we had to fill in the numbers below the letter and pick a project that relates to that letter (project name, designer's name, item in the picture). When a number is called you see what column it is in and stitch 100 stitches to the project for that column and post the days progress in our album in the group. So far it is fun! Katie over at Jeremiah's Mom is also playing the game. She stitches tons in a day so I have lots of confidence in her finishing her board. Our goal is to get vertical bingos with 5 squares or horizontal bingo with 7 squares.
So let's see what numbers were called this week.
Up first was 30 which for me was under the letter O, which is for the designer Loretta Oliver. So I had to put in some stitches on my Quilt Block Sampler. I have not stitched on this one since February. I am on the last block so hopefully it will be finished SOON! Though I did see a section where I forgot to stitch around the blocks so I will have remember to go back and finish that too.

Stitching the Night Away
Stitched 100 stitches on April 1st!
The next two numbers that were called was 31 and 08 which both fell under the letter R which I used for the Rainbow in the Twisted Rainbow Sampler. I put this one on my board because I have a long way to go on it and I want to get moving on it!
Added 100 and 102 stitches respectfully on 04/02 and 04/03.
Then on the 4th they called the number 27! So now I get to move on to the Seasonal Quilt, Autumn with the letter S. I thought this piece would go faster but all the colors in one quilt square certainly does take its sweet old time!

Just Cross Stitch Autumn 2024
Added in 128 stitches
And to wrap up the week the number it was time for the number 28. That is under the letter I which is for Ice for the Penguin Ice Slide. As my followers probably already know any and all penguins are for Jacob since that is his very favorite animal.
Added in 100 stitches.
And that is it for the week! I normally only stitch for an hour or so after dinner but I think I am going to try to squeeze in some stitches during the days after I do what ever I need to do around the house or else I will only be working on seven pieces for the entire month!
This week we lost a fellow stitcher and my friend Deb Reik. She was not a blogger but she was on Facebook. We have been friends since way back in the Yahoo Groups Days. She lived in the next state over but her daughter lived here so I would see her and her family quite often.
This is a picture of my long time friends.
Mary, Deb and Me.
I am so thankful you were able to stop by for a quick minute or two to see what I have been doing. I hope you have a wonderful week coming up and you are able to get in lots of stitching. And remember to tell your friends and family that you love them.
Mary, Deb and Me.
Deb will be truly missed!
