Happy Dance - Picachu

Started: 5/31/2020

Finished: 7/3/2020

Stitching Time: 19 hours 53 minutes

Picachu was stitched for the 2020 Stitcher's Challenge (Pokemon) on Q4OC (Quilts for Older Children and Adults) and was provided by the group's owner.  It is also a free download from my-cross-stitch-patterns.com.

It's stitched on 14-count white Aida as charted with the called for DMC floss.  It was also my 30 minute per night stitch for June and I managed to stitch at least 30 minutes a night for all but two nights and made up for that with some hour long nights later in the process.

It will be eventually be donated to Love Quilts Brazil.

Weekly Update - 6/25/2020

We've reached the halfway point in the Peppermint Purple SAL so she gave us an easy one so people could spend some extra time catching up if they wanted.  Week 26 was done in DMC 52 and only took 32 minutes to stitch.

This is also coming along nicely and should be finished next week sometime.  I must admit the yellow isn't my favorite color so I'll be glad when I'm done, but the chart was assigned to me so I didn't really have a choice.

Weekly Update - 6/19/2020

My weekly update is a little late this week, because my internet was out completely.  It had been partially out for almost two weeks and I could access some things, but not others.  Then on Thursday, it went out completely.  After hours on the phone, it finally came back late yesterday.

Week 25 was stitched with DMC 75 and took one hour and 45 minutes.  I had trouble wrapping my head around this one, but it finally started making sense when I decided to work vertically instead of horizontally.

I'm using the new Blogger and haven't figured out how to add a caption yet.  (Any help would be appreciated.)  This is Picachu as of 6/10/2020 after 5 hours 13 minutes of stitching.

And here he is as of 6/19/2020 after 10 hours and 55 minutes of stitching time.  Yes, he got a little more time this week than usual, because I really wanted to finish his body.

Weekly Update - 6/3/2020

Since it will take me awhile to finish Picachu and I'm already updating the Peppermint Purple SAL on a weekly basis, I thought I'd combine the two into a weekly update.
