| New Start: 2019 Linen & Threads Mystery Sampler |
I live in Atlanta Georgia USA, where I enjoy all types of hobbies and needlework. I have been stitching for several decades & still find joy in it. I am self employed with Etsy (I stitch and sell finger puppets and other items). I have participated in the WIPocalypse SAL since it began in 2012.
I currently have 43 WIPs (I am working on this.)
I have already added a new project this year, as I jumped into the "2019 Linen & Threads Mystery Sampler" stitch along recently (progress shown above). I tie-dyed a piece of 28 count Monaco fabric for the project. This was my first time using tie dye. I used a Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit with the colors called "Moody Blues" (turquoise, green, and blue). I love the way the colors came out & it was super easy!
Anyhow... I love stitching samplers. I have several in progress, and even designed a simple "cat sampler" of my own, which I offer as a free chart on my hobby website here: http://hobbyloco.com/patterns/cat_sampler.html
I also recently got the bug for the "Bothy Threads Cut Thru'" designs. I am a few years behind everyone else (they hit popularity around 2013-14), but they are fun to stitch. I am currently stitching 2 of those.
I also love to stitch ornaments! I don't have any ornaments on my WIPs list - because I usually stitch them quickly over a few days & finish them right away.
My goals for the year are to finish as many of my WIPs as I am able, keep up with any SALs (stitch-alongs) I join, and try to finish more projects than I start!
One additional project I may start this year is the "Women of the Mayflower" Sampler by Sarah Ullman. I really want to finish this project in 2020 - so that I can have the dates 1620 and 2020 on the sampler. So that may be a start later in the year.
