Sunday Stitching Update April 28th

My progress was slow in the past couple of weeks. I had a business trip to New Orleans for a few days, then a few days after I got home I had such a terrible cold that they sent me home for 2 days to rest & recoup. I'm better now, so hopefully I will get back on pace. I'm about 1/2 done, so I took it off the floor frame for this photo. For our newbies, I'm stitching mine on 36 ct. Lakeside Linen in Vintage Sand Dune using the suggested threads.

As for the alphabet, I had thought of putting the letters in correct order. However, I went to stitch one night, and my husband said, "I've been looking at your chart and have some questions about the alphabet..." If the out of order letters caught his interest, I figure maybe other family members who see it framed may pay more attention when they see it, too. I'll be doing the full piece as charted
