This was finished Saturday when I didn’t have internet and then I forgot to post it yesterday but this was my fourth finish in June.
This is one of Teresa Kogut’s Patreon charts in April, 2024. For those who are not familiar with Patreon, here’s how it works for Teresa Kogut’s Patreon group works. There are “tiers” (four I think). As the tiers go up (1, 2, 3 or 4), the cost is a bit more and you get more. Teresa is so generous. I’m in Tier 4 and we get three charts per month, two coloring pages which can actually be used for punch needle or whatever you want. She does a large stitch along each year, there’s an Etsy shop discount, live videos with Teresa and there are various other things throughout the year. I’m currently in several Patreon groups I’ve been in and out of others but Teresa’s is one I’ll probably stay in as long as I’m stitching. One year I decided I had more charts than I’d ever stitch and didn’t sign up, then as soon as the first month’s charts came out and I started seeing them, I went and signed up again.
This was my fourth finish in June. Several of them were close to being finished so it wasn’t like it was a huge accomplishment but I am happy to have four things finished.
The others were these:
No Bees:
Thy Love Divine:
This I Know:
There have been 9 finishes for 2024. I’d like to think, since we’ve just finished the first half of 2024, that I can finish 18 pieces this year. Maybe . . we’ll see.
I’ve discovered that I get a lot more stitching done when I stitch what I want to stitch, when I want to stitch it so that’s what I’m doing. Lately I’ve been wanting to finish some projects and that’s what I did in June.
I would love to finish Love is the Key and maybe Rejoice Evermore. That one is probably a stretch. Here’s the last overall photo I shared of Love is the Key. I’ve filled it a bit on the bottom border but that’s all.
Here’s my progress on Rejoice Evermore. The first photo is at the top. I’ve added a bit of satin stitches on the right side. There are at least two full rows of that. It doesn’t take a long time now that I’m more comfortable doing it. I’ve stitched just a bit on that upper band.
Then I went down to the bottom and finished that inner straight line stitching, added the A, B, C, and D, the bird, the hill and started the branch. Going left from the branch is a house and that’s what I’m working my way towards. I should get started on the house today.
I’m having fun stitching on both these pieces so there’s a chance, probably small, that I could finish both these in July. I will add that I haven’t looked at Teresa Kogut’s Patreon releases for July. I could stop everything and start one (or more) of those! 🙂

Wow! Great finishes! I love all of them! I’m still hoping for one finish!

Wow! You’ve certainly accomplished a lot this year already! I’m a bit jealous, as I haven’t even taken my sewing machine out of its case since our guild’s retreat in February…. All your charts are beautiful!! I especially like the “Faith, Hope, Peace and Love” and “No Bees.” I did counted cross stitch years ago, but not for ages. I’m stuck on quilting now. 🙂

I love the Faith, Hope, Peace and Love. It’s beautiful and one that I would love. I don’t do cross stitching but I would like this as a quilt.

How pretty! I love the blues. I’ve been meaning to join but keep forgetting. Since the network is down at the office I think I’ll hop on and join right now! All of your finishes are so pretty.

Three letters – W.O.W! (that’s actually two, but…)
What a beautiful finish; the others as well, but this one with the blues… lovely!
