This month's WIPocalypse question is: Tell us about a technique, designer, pattern, or anything else in stitching that you’ve been nervous or afraid to try.
I am nervous to stitch on linen. I have a Chatelene in my stash and that pattern also makes me nervous as it needs to be stitched on evenweave or linen. One of these days I will give it a try.
Here are the projects I stitched on this month:
Cats Paw went with me on vacation to Florida. I had alot of stitching time and made good progress. I did change the cat's colors to match our calico cat. This one could be finished this year.
Crane Paradise put another 137 stitches in.
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom continues to be a focus piece worked on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. Still trying to finish page 11 but it is close. Maybe in April.
Flamingo by Mill Hill I finished on 3/27/22 and totally finished it. First finish of 2022
Freedom by Joan Elliott put in another 119 stitches
Butterfly Fairy Night I put in another 156 stitches. This one is on even weave and I continue to struggle thru it.
Owl #4 143 stitches more. Baby #4 is due the end of April so I need to get moving on this one.
Possum Song put in another 218 stitches.
Princess & the Dragon by Teresa Wentzler put in another 214 stitches. This one will see more work on it in April as it is one of my focus pieces and I hope to put in at least 500 stitches. I am really enjoying this one. The chart is from Cross Stitch Collection and is easier to read than most of Teresa's patterns.
Reindeer Ornament put in another 184 stitches. I need to do another continuing ed class so maybe in April it will get some more work on it.
To Everything There is a Season put in another 236 stitches.
Jolly Snowman by Joan Elliott put in another 212 stitches
Hodge Podge Soup put in another 217 stitches. Love the colors in this one. I think this one could be finished this year with a little dedication.
Give Thanks to God Sampler put in 284 stitches. Sitching this one in hand so no hoop rings.
I am still participating in the Magazine Monthly Magazine Acrostic and I have my projects picked out for April. I would like to finish Cats Paws this month as I have several new starts kitted up.
