May can only mean one thing...
.......STITCHMAYNIA.......
If you watch Flosstube, then you
know exactly what I mean.

In the same vein as the Crazy January
challenge, you start 15 projects in 15 days.
Some do more....some do less.

Once again, I was on the band wagon.
Unlike most, I decided to do a start
every other day and spread it over
the entire month. I kitted up 15 projects
and went on my merry way.
Here is my lineup...

I still found time for my monthly
Prairie Schooler project. These designs
take me about a week to stitch so that
did eat into my Stitchmaynia plans.
No problem...just happy to have another done.

Well if you stuck with me this long,
thank you ever so much!
Happy stitching....
Very nice starts and finishes. Love The Grand Olde Flag. Did you do the conversion yourself or is it posted somewhere. I would like to see the rest of the colors used. Your needle sure has been busy.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love how you are playing catch up with your projects and events when one falls behind!! Also love your stitching.
ReplyDeleteGrand Olde Flag is really cool. I had not seen Selfie Sampler. Love it!
ReplyDeleteClever approach, every other day. I love the retreat kit. The thread looks so lovely on the spool.
ReplyDeleteNice selection
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying these catch-up posts; lots of eye candy! I really admire the Notforgotten Farms retreat kit though, very unusual but looks great with the spool as the flower. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects! I am just finding VM threads. Are the conversions ones you made yourself? Laura

ReplyDeleteWonderful starts and even better, some finishes from those starts! I love your floss conversions using Nancy's threads.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen!! You've been on a total roll... And, like your recent blog titles, I'm Catching up on reading my blog roll..... Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed your Catch-up posts, what fun to see all the different designs you have stitched this year. You seem to have a lot of starts but quite a few finishes too.
ReplyDeleteI received a lovely Bee design from a friend recently and ever since then I have seen Bees all over the blogosphere! How funny.
Great post. I love seeing all the starts and the finishes. I now have several pieces to add to my wish list. Your work is beautiful and I look forward to watching all your projects come to life
