Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and that 2025 is starting off well.
At our last check in I had only stitched a single line -- the missing bottom line of this piece:

In the last three weeks I hoped to get a lot of stitching done, but of the four long flights, only one really allowed for stitching. The first one I was in the middle seat with a stranger on my left side (doesn't seem right to keep pulling a needle at a stranger!). The second one I was so tired I actually slept a little (hooray!). I didn't even unpack my stitching while we were in Rio, but was excited to stitch on the long flight from Rio to New York. Somehow, however, I was in a section with no reading light at the seat... so on the overnight flight they turned off the cabin lights and I was in total darkness.
Finally, on the flight from New York to Seattle was had a strange incident -- a passenger left a bag in the terminal but didn't realize it until we had pulled away from the gate. I can only assume this set off something worse INSIDE the terminal, but we had a 3-hour delay while authorities were called, paperwork was filled out, and the passenger was escorted back into the terminal to identify the bag.
I, however, used the extra time (and the 5+ hour flight) to stitch. As a result, I stitched 10 more rows, so I have completed 80 out of 120 rows.
Next time I'll share pictures of the Christmas projects -- and hopefully have another 10 rows completed.
You have accomplished much, but what a wild plane ride! At least you were able to use your time and hopefully not be frustrated like many others likely were!
ReplyDeleteHurray for plane delays then, eh?
ReplyDeleteI find my cross-country flights hit or miss as to whether I can stitch or not. We are flying from NY to CA and back again in a few weeks, but on airlines that I am not familiar with. I like that you can see the NOEL starting to take shape. I really like this project.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you had a great project to keep you occupied during the delay. I know it's a long way from finished but I can't wait to see the rest of it.
