Valentine's Day Stitch-a-Long, part 2

Hi everyone! Again I'm writing this early as I'll be out of town on the date of our check-in. This time I'll be in Florida on a long-planned vacation. Is it vacation when one isn't working? Not sure. But I'm still looking forward to this trip!

Last time I had started a new Valentine's Day cross stitch pattern. Here's where I was:


And here's where I am now -- nearly halfway done!


I'll need to fill in the pale pink checkerboard around the whole piece, and then some backstitching around that, but wanted to keep moving through the rows first. The next row has one full-coverage square, but also has one that is just backstitching, so I think I'll be able to get it done before our next check in. So, no Valentine's Day finish, but I'll have a good portion complete!

Don't forget to check out the amazing projects my fellow stitchers are working on -- they're always fascinating and inspiring. Avis, Claire, Gun, Constanze, Christina, KathyMargaret, Heidi, JackieMegan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, AJCathie, LindaHelenConnieCindy, and Mary Margaret.
