Let’s Stitch Along to the End of Time!

Sorry I was really slow to see this and respond to it, but I LOVED the movie The Point! I wanted a dog like Arrow pretty much my entire childhood. So great! I’ve never seen the album cover before but it’s perfect.

Always thrilled to meet a fellow fan!
The album far exceeds the film, imho. It came with a comic book in the record sleeve that had somd pretty weird & wonderful art. @curiousfae made me a couple Point ATCs back in the day, it’s a great theme.

My April entry!

“Skagit Valley Stormy Spring”

This was a totally for fun, no rules, fooling around, whatever-happens-happens, 100% made from stash, project!

Just north of where I live is the Skagit Valley. Along with being a hugely important area in West Coast bird migration, it’s also home to many, many bulb farms. It’s famous for the tulip festival every spring, but I actually appreciate the earlier daffodils even more. Just beyond the daffodils, when you stand with your back to Puget Sound, are the foothills of Cascade Mountain range. It is a photographer’s paradise - mountains, incredible skies, birds of all kinds - including flocks of thousands & thousands of huge Trumpeter & Tundra Swans.

I haven’t shared in this thread, but have been in the Snapshot thread.

Lots and lots of blue!

Are there rules? I’d like to know so I can see how far they stretch before they break.

My own rules. I have some goals I am working on this year.

The only rule in the stitchalong in order to be eligible for the monthly drawing is:

@Camelama - the site wide challenges/contests do state the following:

I don’t want to disqualify you from being eligible to win the site challenge, so I can leave you out of the prize drawing for this month. Thank you for being considerate of the rules and transparent about your entry!

Ahh, it’s always good to run into people who remember The Point. Me and my arrow. The music is what I remember most.

Oh what fun, but I’ll be out cleaning up the grounds of our church…annual Spring clean-up. Have a blast!

I’m sure we’ll have another one!

I remember that! I saw it in junior high, at an art class I took with a local glass and clay artist. The teacher had the album, and after we listened to it, she tried to explain it to us. We just kind of stared at her, so she ended up finding us a copy to watch. ‘Me and My Arrow’ is totally what I remember from it too.

I remember the Me and My Arrow song, but never knew the album told a story. I looked it up on wikipedia.

It’s full of good wisdom.

It’s a fantastic story, though admittedly when I watched it again as an adult I realized it’s pretty weird too. Well, it fits with a lot of animation from the 70s. I also just learned it can be watched in its entirety on YouTube. :grin:

I might be watching it this weekend as I work on stitching. Tomorrow is the last day of April, which means I get to send a prize to one of you lovely stitchers soon!
