Full Coverage Month End Report - June 2025

 Good month again on the Mead Dragon full coverage piece.  I'm managing to still keep up with #WIPintoshape with Andrew @theRunnerStitcher.   I am adding his marathon training numbers to my own 100 stitches a day goal.  And I met those goals every day this month, though I did have to net my numbers once when church and family obligations happened to synch up with a high-count day.

I stitched 4,515 stitches on this piece this month.  That brings me to 25,645 stitches year to date and 61,738 on the piece in total = 65.33%.  I'm now working on row 217 and I moved the fabric up.  There's the very tiny hint of where her tail will wrap around the drinking horn.

It's a good thing that I'm motivated by the challenges, because I am in confetti city.   The background isn't so bad, even though there are lot of random stitches, there are only three or four colors in any one ten by ten square - they just swap out as you move across the row.   But that drinking horn is an entirely different kettle of fish!  There are very few patches of color or swaths like in the wing.  It's "stitch one, mark off one, find next stitch.  It's more than 5 stitches away, so flip over qsnap to run thread under surrounding stitches, flip qsnap back, find the next stitch again."  Rinse and repeat.   But at least it's only about a third of each row at this point.  

And for comparison, here's the start of the month:
