This month's question is: Which are your favorite three designers? (question thanks to Martha D.)
Joan Elliott and Teresa Wentzler are two of my favorite designers. After that I just stitch whatever catches my eye.
This month I did the March acrostic with Magazine Monthly Challenge facebook group. Here are the projects that I worked on for the acrostic:
Jolly Snowman by Joan Elliott.
Suncatchers. Finished the first turtle.
Autumn Sampler. Got more of the white done. I will backstitch it to make it more noticeable.
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom was on my acrostic and I usually stitched on it every day. I did finish page 29. One small partial page left. Hope to finish it in April.
Hedge Hog kit. I kept this one out and worked on it at night. My ott lite died and I could see with my regular light to stitch this one. Good progress made.
Crane Paradise worked on more greenery
Jolly Jingle Bell Pal Elf added some more stitches. Hope to make more progress on this one in April.After I finished my acrostic my ott lite died. I had it for 30 years. I ordered a new bulb and when it came it just would not go in. I checked it with the old bulb and it was exactly the same. While I was trying to get it in I pushed too hard and broke the new bulb. So I went out and bought a new ott lite. Much smaller than the one I had. Nice and bright though.
I also worked on the following projects:
Queen of the Sea - more stitches added
QS Magic Island I finished page 3. I usually only work on this one during the weekends. Once Dandelion Fairy Kingdom is done this will become my daily piece.
Princess & Dragon was also on my acrostic. Then when I finished both of the pages for my full coverage projects I pulled this on out to stitch on during the day. 4 additional days of work for a total of 1,061 stitches added.
I worked on Funky Cats the last few days in the evening. 808 stitches added.
Then for the last day in March I decided to have a new start. Owl Faces from Etsy.
This is being stitched on 14ct tan aida. It is much darker looking in person. 352 stitches added.
I did visit my local LNS this month and bought fabric, threads and beads as I am kitting up some new starts. Most of the projects I am kitting up seem to be large projects.
I also caved and bought my first Stitches Sew Beautiful pattern. They were having a sale. I picked out this cute owl pattern
In April I will be participating in SPRINGO with the Magazine Monthly Challenge Group. I picked seven projects - one for each letter. Each project has the possibility of being called 5 times and I need to do at least 100 stitches each time it is called. I am hoping to make good progress on the projects I have selected for SPRINGO.
We will also be camping the end of April. I have kitted up a few small projects to take with me.
