Hi, everyone. I'm so disappointed that I wasn't able to participate in this challenge as I had intended. "Life" and running our own business just got in my way and something had to go. I'm so impressed with those of you who kept at it. I'm just now having time to stroll through the Flicker site to see your beautiful work. You should all be so proud of yourselves!

Is there any interest in starting another group to do this again. I'm not sure how many others couldn't keep going this last time or how many new members might like to have a go of it, but I know I sure would. Life and work commitments have settled down and I feel that I really want to do this now. I just don't think I can keep up with fas ast of a pace as this group did. I think I'm going to plan on doing 100 details in 2009, though. I figure that there are 49 weeks left in 2009....48 if I start February 1st. That would make 2 details a week with 4 of the easier ones to be worked in as "bonus" details along the way, so that 100 could be completed by the end of the year. Anyone else out there up for a 2009 100 Details Challenge?? I don't know if Susan E. would consider heading up a second go at this, but if not; maybe she'd advise me on how to set up a group here and how to post the details each week.....maybe post two details once a week on Sunday. We'd need a flicker account, too, or maybe we could extend onto the one for this past challenge. I will keep checking back this week to see if there is any interest in joining me in doing this. It would be great to continue the legacy of Sharon B's wonderful collection of details being an inspiration to all of us to stretch our abilities.

At last I've put the 100 Stitch blocks together and made them into a wallhanging. It was an absolute devil to put together. My own fault I SHOULD have stabilised the blocks before embrodiering them. Anyone thinking of embroidering log cabin blocks beware, stabilise first otherwise they distort!!!

I wanted to join in and take part in the challenge. Is it still open?

I've added my final block, block 10 this takes me up to around day 98. The last two days are on a separate block, I'll post them by the end of this week then I'll have a break until the New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a really good creative New Year.

Luv Annette

I just wanted to let you know about four terrific ladies who just completed the 100 details in 200 days challenge...Helina Penttinen, Diane Matheson, Maureen Bond and Annette (aka Threadaddict)!

Click on over to the flickr site to check out all of their beautiful work. They are truly an inspiration to us all. For those of you who are still stitching, feel free to keep going. As I don't always have time to check Flickr, I would welcome your posting your progress in the comment section here.

I have enjoyed managing this challenge and seeing all of the beautiful work. Thanks to SharonB for the initial inspiration and to our finishers who allowed us to be part of their creative journey.

Be well everyone and may your needles be blessed in 2009!
Susan

Hey Maureen....I put down the stitching when the Days got too CQ heavy, which isn't a bad thing, just not inspiring for what I was doing. Of course, putting it down was a mistake! I have been checking up on the wonderful stitching you all are still doing, and it's great.!!!!!!

Completed Block 8 and finished Block 9 I think this takes me up to Da 89. They are on the 100 Stitches Flickr page.

Hello Vicky, I have been wondering where you were and hoping you were not ill. I have missed seeing your work growing. Nice to know you are okay.

I have not worked on this in months. I got my daughter started with cross stitch, but that's the closest I have been to a needle full of thread. I really want to quilt the round embroidery I started, so I think I will do that. I can always add more embroidery later....since I am not one to worry about the back of a project....*smile*
