Question of the Month: Let’s talk fabric – what is your go-to fabric dyer, your preferred type, count, color, etc?
I am an aida stitcher. No favorite dyer I just buy the size I need and most of the time the color is white. I have gotten some different colors of aida from my local LNS.
This month I participated in SPRINGO with the Magazine Monthly Cross Stitch Challenge group on facebook. I picked seven projects one for each letter in SPRINGO. Then random 35 numbers filled my bingo board. Each project had 5 chances for their numbers to be called. Here are the projects I worked on for SPRINGO:
S - Suncatchers. This one was called twice and I added 442 stitches
P - Crane Paradise was called 5 times and I added 903 stitches
R - Hello Autumn (has a Red Truck) was called 4 times and I added 683 stitches
I - QS Magic Island was called 4 times and I added 878 stitches
G - Unplug & Go Outside was called 3 times and I added 786 stitches
O-Jolly Jingle Bell Elf (Ornament) was called 3 times and I added 641 stitches
I did stitch on some of my other wips during the month:
I worked on Autumn Sampler a few times and added 687 stitches
I worked on Jolly Snowman one day and added 116 stitches
Hedge Hog I added 592 stitches
We went camping for 4 days and I took along a small project. I started Country Crow Teapot from Cross Country Stitching June 2011. I made a good start and added 663 stitches
And I had a finish this month! I have finally finished Dandelion Fairy Kingdom by Ching-Chou Kuik/HAED. Stitched on 14ct white aida 2 strands full cross. Started 6/1/18 and finished 4/7/25
For May I plan on starting Owl #9 as another baby is due in June. I will be doing the May acrostic with the Magazine Monthly Cross Stitch facebook group as it gets me working on projects that are either near a finish or ones I don't touch often. And of course more camping.
