I so wanted to finish this yesterday, so I set aside 15 minutes of every hour to stitch. For 45 minutes I would clean, do paperwork, run errands, etc., and then for 15 minutes I would stitch. It worked beautifully! Not only did I get a lot of stitching done, but I got a *lot* of other work done, too!!
I just love this design! I made a number of counting errors, but everything came together at the end, and now I know that it's "mine". {smiles} By the way, the colors are much more pastel in real life. It's gorgeous. Sigh. I think I'll get a frame from Crescent Colors for it... when I have a little money to spend.
Next up I plan to finish Woodland Sampling - hopefully by Friday, and then I need to start something new - a Roly Poly Cherished Teddy for a Charity Quilt.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'm always happy to see you!
Blessings,

Beautiful finish, Tricia!
I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who has trouble counting past 2 (ok-I admit sometimes even 2 is a challenge :) This one turned out great! Congrats!
Congratulations on a lovely finish, Tricia! I'll have to try that stitching plan of yours--sounds like it really might help me accomplish more around the house along with getting my stitching time in :)
This is such a beautiful project!
I love the idea of alloting time to stitch, work, and stitch. I'll attempt this and maybe I'll get more done with this reward system.
Very nice!!! Love the pumpkins!
Your finish is beautiful! Love the colors and you are right...it is your own!!
I love the Pumpkin Cottage, but then, I am partial to LHD. The fabric I used for my monthly series was 18 ct. Davosa, two thread over one. There is a reason that I used that fabric and I'll reveal that whenever I finish the months into pillows. thanks for visiting my blog!
Your finish is so pretty. Beautiful colours.
Kick you heels up & dance up a storm...Super finish! The colors are so warm & inviting. Can't wait to see Woodland Sampling
It's perfect Tricia!! Congrats on your finish!

It's beautiful, congratulations Tricia. The colours remind me a bit of Bunny Hop which I'm just about to begin :D
Absolutely gorgeous!! Congratulations on your finish...and you get to start something new, wonderful!! I like your idea of working then stitching, I may have to borrow your "system" and get some work done around here! *wink* *Hugs*
