Black History 365

As promised I have another post for you, I posted a new flosstube video on YouTube and you can go check it out at Minnie Gray - AllXXs If you don't "do" YouTube here's what going on over there.  First up was an episode of "Magic Q-Snap" where I give a special shot out to my video commenters, if you watch the video and leave me a comment I'll surprise you. I shared pictures of my wips from my WIPGO board that were called for the month of February. They were #4 and #20:

#4 



The Sun & Moon - Before


After

#20  
MLK Memorial -Before



After
The  goals for these two wips were to stitch 1000 stitches on each.  I think I made it and then some.
For the beginning of Black History Month I participated in a SAL #Black History 365 SAL and for that I stitched what is being called a SAF (Start and Finish) in one sitting.  

Former President Barack Obama


My other wips and new starts for February are:
Scissors & Bobbins - Jardin Prive'





 Suffrage Act - LHN





2020 Pandemic Sampler SAL - Sarcygurl (IG)



Harriet Tubman - The Primitive Hare


The new numbers for March WIPGO have been called and they are #10 and #24:

#10
Emerald City - Owl Forest Embroidery


The goal for this is to finish the stitching, wish me luck, I may have set that goal too high.
#24
Fairy Delight Biscornu - Joan Elliott Designs


The goal for this is to attach all of the beads and assemble the biscornu. I've made one before so I think this will be pretty easy. But still wish me luck on this one too.
Well now you know what I've been up to and it's time to go make some more wonderful little xxs.

You are making great progress! 1000 stitches seems "doable". I need to try something like that on some of my older WIPs and see what happens!

Wow, you've been busy, so many lovely pieces. I really like The Sun & Moon, Suffrage Act, and those Fairies are so sweet!

I love all your WIPs but particularly Barack Obama, do they do a Michelle to go with him?
I'm enjoying WIPGO too, it's a fun way to decide what to stitch each month.
