I have been bad at stitching the last three weeks. There was just so much going on that I left it to the last few days to stitch. I did get 200 stitches in, though, so here is how Joyce’s Rose is looking as of today.
Here is where I left off last update:
And here is where I am now.
There, the last rose bud is starting to emerge, and now it is full steam to a finish. I want to get this project done by the end of the year!
Cindy, we will miss you!
This SAL (stitch-a-long) is managed by Avis, and we really appreciate her updates and organization of our group.
Now, I am off to visit the other stitchers in this group to see the delightful projects they are working on. See you again in three weeks!

I hope you find time to work on this gorgeous piece. 200 stitches is better than none.
