Progress Report: Gourmet ABC

I figured I'd show off my progress on the Gourmet ABC I'm working on.   It's slow going, but I'm doing my best. My thought was if I posted here for everyone to see, I'd be more likely to make progress and finish it faster than if I just did it at home.

I'm trying to hide this from my husband - I'd really like to give it to him for a Christmas gift this year.  My goal is to have it all done by Halloween, so I have the time to frame it.

Here it is after a week of stitching:

I took 2 weeks off of stitching it, but now I really need to get back to it!  My goal is to stitch one block a day.
