APR-JUN: Big Swap!

[RMDC]

Just got back from the post office, where I got the supplies I needed to get everything packed. I should have my package in the mail tomorrow.

Decided to put swap gift #1 down for a few days in order to make something else I got excited about...

So even though I might need to be worried about finishing my gifts on time, surprisingly I am not. Which is good, because I don't like to panic. So yea, that's all.

Yeah, I put my bigger gift down for a bit too! I became very into learning amigurumi and felt like I had to make my projects in one hit in case I 'forgot' how to crochet! Luckily my swap gift isn't huge so I'll be able to get back into it and still have it done before the deadline!

I have a lot done allready and I hope to finish this week.

Good news about my embroidery machine. It's fixed! I didn't think it would be done so fast. They put a new motherboard in it.
I don't know if I will use it for the swap. I didn't think it would be back in time so I allready planned for other things to make.

Black aida is really a little b*tch!
My last project for the big swap has 8658 stitches. Not that big but on black aida it takes forever. This afternoon, I've stitched for 4 hours (my ass hurts) and I've done only 1368 stitches

I should be able to get my quilt done within a week. I am finishing up the rows tonight and assembling everything. I am working on 6 other quilts (only 3 designs total) at the same time, so if I have them all pinned and ready to quilt by Friday I will be pretty happy.

My goal is to have it in the mail by next weekend with all of the the little goodies I made and bought as well.

Ooh, black aida. Nasty stuff! Hope your ass is ok

So excited to see the stuff you send!

So, everybody...there's a month or so left. How many of you are panicking now? XD
I'm waiting for supplies...so not quite panicking yet, but my main item is quite complicated - have done 18,000 stitches on it already and it's not even halfway done. I think. Kinda winging a lot of it, because it's something I've never done before.
And...I really should pull the finger out on the other gifts. But no problem...that's what caffeine is for, right? *twitch*

all of these posts makes me very happy to know that i'm already done with mine . good luck to everyone, though

My project is a total of about 23,000 stitches... have about 1,000 left. The BIG portion of it is basically done, and it will be the smaller, finishing touches that make the project that I'll be focusing on in June.

All in all, my time table has worked out well OCD planning for the WIN!

I sent mine off today, now after seeing everyone's posts about how big everyone made theirs I feel bad. I just made a bunch of things and sent them off. I hope my swappee isn't too upset. It's my first time doing a swap so I hope that's taken into account!
