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

The fact that it is stitched over one thread was an added bonus. I am using the called for overdyed flosses, a mixture of Weeks Dye Works and The Gentle Arts threads on the called … Continue reading Stitch Maynia 2018 Day 22
Here we are at Day 21 and I’m still going strong! I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with myself once Maynia is over and I’m not doing daily Stitch with Me videos, but I’m sure I’ll get back into some other kind of routine. Many people have said they will miss my daily videos, and I think that is so sweet, and … Continue reading Stitch Maynia 2018 Day 21

I’ve been meaning to do a better job of keeping track of my projects here on my blog, posting not only extra photos of my progress, but also … Continue reading Stitch Maynia Day 20
