Full Coverage Month End Report - February 2025 and Full Coverage February wrap up

 This last month I participated in my version of the "Full Coverage February" Stitch A Long. Since I only have one full coverage piece, I doubled my daily goal to 200 stitches per day or more.   I did stitch every day on the project, though I didn't meet my goal on several of the days.   I did get 5,536 stitches this month, which brings me to 44,854 / 94,500 stitches or 47.46%.

And here's where I started the month for comparison:

As you can see, I got pretty much all her front leg and hand paws done (there are a few ninja stitches here and there that I'll fill in when the typewriter method gets to them).   I also did quite a bit on the back leg and the wings are starting to shade into the yellows, tans and gold that will make the edge of the wings look 'honey dipped'.  The background and fill in is down to row 150.

While I really enjoyed the progress I made this month, I didn't get much else accomplished.  I did manage to keep up on my 'Stitch A Day' Temperature Stitches piece, but I barely touched the crewel project.   Thirteen months in on the dragon and I'm still not even to the halfway point.  The bottom part looks to be simpler than the top half by far.  And hopefully it will be one of the projects that is an enthusiastic race for the finish and not a slog to the finish 😳.
