Hornbook Bestiary Progress

It's been over a month since my last progress post on the Hornbook Bestiary.  I've made some signigicant progress.  I've now moved onto the next to the last row!  This post is going to be filled with pictures.  There's a lot to see!

Progress as of 3/23/14
 
Progress as of 3/27/14
 
Progress as of 3/29/14
 
I managed to finish "R is for Rabbit" while I was off sick and started row #5's boxes!  Only one more row to go!
 
As of 4/26/14
 
I started "S is for Sheep" on 3/29 and then put it aside to work on other things.
I decided this weekend I was going to finish it up.
 
As of 4/27/14
 
Then I got on a roll and decided to start "T is for Turkey" on Saturday after I finished the sheep.
I finished him up yesterday morning.
 
 
Here's a closer look at the two latest additions.  I'm certainly getting better at whipping through these squares.  Two in a weekend!  Now I'm halfway through this row and soon to be onto the final row.
I can hardly wait!

Well folks, we are all caught up on the Hornbook.  This wasn't the only stitching I did this weekend.  Nope, I worked on the Snooty Parrots and made some more progress on my Quaker challenge too.  I'll update you on them later.  Hope everyone has a good week!  Thanks for stopping by.
 
More soon,

Oh my goodness, Lisa! It is looking so good! I love the R block especially, but the sheep and turkey blocks are great as well!

Wow! Great progress!!

LOVE THIS!!! Still have yet to start mine, but each time I see yours I'm inspired to grab it out of my stash. TWO blocks per weekend, plus Snooty Parrots and another project!? I bow down to you, most Esteemed Stitcher! I truly wish I could pick up the pace with my own stitching. It seems at times I spend hours only to realize later that I've barely made a dent. Keep up the great work. I cannot wait to see your next update!
