24HOCS Weekend - April 2024

[@AdventuresOfStitching]

Yay good job on the video and showing that you can participate without getting 24hrs! So many people messaged me that they want to do it but don’t bc it’s too many hours for them to realistically reach. ❤ Next time we will have to coin a hashtag for a half marathon…and maybeee we won’t have that burn out feeling afterwards too! I love how Night Cafe looks on video, I can’t get over its vibrancy everytime you show it 😍🫶🏼

I can never do a full marathon either! Maybe #12HOCS?

[@theredheadisreading2251]

You still did amazing! Great job! ❤❤❤

[@RaineyDayReads]

Thanks!

[@josmith5992]

The Night Cafe is gorgeous and I can totally see why it’s going to take a long time!

[@RaineyDayReads]

lol yep definitely will take the full year!

[@theokiestitcher]

That is a very productive weekend with lots of progress!!

[@RaineyDayReads]

Thanks! I kinda liked it but also felt a bit burned out until today.

[@angieslowlycrafts]

You did great, Rainey! Yes, I think a half marathon would be plenty for me. As you know I only made it 16 hours and I havent picked up anything in 2 days!! 😲 Thanks for the update! 😊

[@RaineyDayReads]

I’ve barely done anything! I’m keeping up with daily stitches but that’s it.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I usually try for 2,400 stitches in a 24HOCS marathon and you did 1,200 so I'd say that's a successful half marathon! I've never been able to compete a whole one either. Happy stitching 💜

[@RaineyDayReads]

Oh! That’s such a good idea to do 2400 stitches! I love that!

[@RenewingStitches]

Yay, any progress is progress and 10 hours is a lot of time! Great job! I haven't ever tried a 24HOC. A half marathon is more along my speed too : ) Lovely video and lovely stitches! (I'm not a bug person either 😂

[@RaineyDayReads]

lol bugs are a constant source of anxiety for me, especially in the autumn when they want to get warm in my house. No like!!

[@SmallTownStitches]

Hahaha feasible! I think that we should do a half marathon that I could probably do. Would I keep track of time is the question… I should just track every 100 stitches instead. That I know I can do! You got a lot done in 10 hours!

[@RaineyDayReads]

lol yeah remembering to click my timer was the hard part, but tracking stitches would be good too.

[@magnolianana1552]

Rainey, you are the cutest! I am still laughing about your bug story and am with you 100%! 😳You made great progress on your projects so pat yourself on the back!! It is more important that you spent time with your Dad and also that you napped than that you logged more stitching time. Just sayin’ 🙃 I have never tried the 24 Hours of Crosstitch challenge, but would probably do about the same as you did and add in other life happenings and not get anywhere near 24 hours. Have a great week, Friend!🦋🪡🧵 You need to celebrate your birthday all month! 🎉🎂🎈💗

[@RaineyDayReads]

lol aw thanks! Yeah I knew I wouldn’t get 24 hrs but it’s fun to give it a try!
