Today brings us one day closer to the end of Maynia and also brings us a WIP to stitch on for the day. This is a lovely Dimenions kit that I got when I returned to stitching last summer. I love the richness of the grapes and leaves, but I did switch out the brown Aida that came in the kit and substituted in a … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 30
Day 29 was actually a knit with me day instead of a stitch with me day. Laura Nelkin was releasing a new club pattern, and I needed to swatch the yarn and choose bead. So join me for a knit with me day! Since I had made kumihimo jewelry in the past, I had built up quite a stash of size 8/0 and 6/0 seed … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 29
I have been anxious to start this one ever since I got the linen. Printed linen wasn’t something that existed back in the 90s/early 2000s, which was when I pretty much stopped stitching. So, to discover all of the possibilities that are out there with printed linen has been fun. And Nichole Franklin of Kaniki’s Whims and Prims does it right up my alley. Now, … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 28
Today I got to visit a little bit with another one of my loves, the Modern Folk Embroidery Four Seasons Mystery Sal. Boy, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it! And it’s not a small project either, but it’s going to be an amazing piece when finished! This is the one I had to restart when I realized I had oriented it on the fabric wrong. Made … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 27
So, in my Day 26 Stitch with Me video, I described this pattern as my first Stitch Maynia failure. One of my viewers disagreed with me, saying that there is no way it’s a failure, since I have had so many other beautiful projects. And she is exactly right. You can see my Day 26 Stitch with Me here. My Day 26 project was Bent … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 26
Day 25 saw me working on the gorgeous Chatelaine pattern Taj Mahal Mandala Garden. It has been about a year since I have picked it up, so it was a real pleasure to work on it again. I am currently working on the satin stitches around the center square. According to the chart, these should be done in the Woven Scotch stitch. I found this … Continue reading Stitch Maynia 2018 Day 25
Today’s start was the sweet design from Plum Street Sampler called Woolemina. I am using some Victorian Motto Sampler Threads in this, which actually seems to be true of a lot of my starts for Maynia. The colors used in this are similar to what I’m using for Spring Jack and Blackberry House, two other Plum Street Sampler designs I’ve started for Stitch Maynia. I … Continue reading Stitch Maynia 2018 Day 24
