WIPocalypse Update for May

Time sure does fly!  It's hard to believe another month has passed and it's time for May's WIPocalypse update.

I made progress on several of my projects.  I finished stitching the phrase on my BeeHive Sampler.  This section was stitched over 1 thread on 28 ct. evenweave.

This months discussion topis is: What designs or themes do you really wish you could find?  What do you think is missing among stitching designs?

Hmmm ... I have been happy to find so many designs that I would love to stitch.  I love complex samplers with lots "going on", especially if they feature specialty stitches.  I would like to see some of the old masters paintings converted into cross stitch - with thought.  Not just converted through a computer program.  I hate confetti stitching!

I have a birthday coming up soon & a little bird told me that I will be receiving a couple of cross stitch books that I've had my eye on.  So, I guess I will have some new projects to feature in my next update.

Happy Stitching!
