I'm back with two more finishes. I finished the Ukrainian Solidarity piece during last weekend's 24 Hours of Cross Stitch Marathon. I finished Bee Sampler this morning. This brings my finish total for 2024 so far to six.

24 Hours of Cross Stitch Marathon - Time Blocks 2 & 3
I forgot to post here when I completed the second three hour time block for the current 24 Hours of Cross Stitch Marathon. Instead, I'm going to include my photos for time blocks two and three in this post. Here are my starting and finishing photos for these two time blocks.
Start of Time Block 2 (8pm-11pm PT, Friday 19 Jan)
End of Time Block 2 and Start of Time Block 3 (12am-3am Saturday 20 Jan)
Given I only have 189 more stitches to go on this piece, I definitely don't have enough remaining to fill another three hour block of stitching. I should definitely have a finish during my next time block.

Create Every Day Finish
This adorable design was a freebie at the 2020 Nashville market from Teresa Kogut. I decided to stitch my version in rainbow colors of floss. This is my fourth finish of 2024.

New Year New Dishcloths!
I love making and using handmade dishcloths. Over the years, I've made them in both crocheted and knitted versions. In honor of the new year, I've crocheted a couple of new dishcloths for use in my kitchen. I thought I would share photos of each of them along with the pertinent information and links to the free patterns.
I hope everyone is having a very safe and happy new year so far!!

First Finish of 2024
Happy New Year, everyone!! I just thought I would hop on for a minute to share my first cross stitch finish of 2024.
