Feels Like Home ~ Stitch Maynia ~ Day 1

A New Cross Stitch Start

I Blogged Here in April about my plans to participate in 

Stitch May-nia @ Fat Quarter Shop

Shop Here for Feels Like Home Mystery Cross Stitch Pattern and Supplies

Part 1 was released today and I was ready!

I am using Vintage Cloth 10 count Aida in Daisy White

(because I can see this ... sort of ... with my vision issues)

and the recommended DMC colors in the supply list. 

Maestro kept me company napping on "her new quilt" tonight

while I started stitching the tail feathers on the blue bird.

Not perfect, but I am happy with it.

I hope to stitch on this project everyday in the month of May.

Hope I can keep up with the 

#FeelsLikeHomeSAL

:-) 

Feels Like Home Stitch Along Coming in May

This box of goodies arrived in plenty of time to be ready for a new stitch along ...

Feels Like Home Mystery SAL @ Fat Quarter Shop

It is a part part of the

Stitch Maynia Intro Video @ Fat Quarter Shop

Stitch Maynia is a cross stitch happening every May
where some stitchers start a project a day.

FQS has provided and Free May Calendar Sheet to help with planning.

I will never start a stitch project everyday for a month.

I have a difficult enough time getting one project done.



 My Prim Village SAL Started Here
does not have much more done on it than what is pictured here.
The 14 count Aida is proving problematic for my eyes.
I may have to rethink and start over on this one.

For my Feels Like Home SAL effort I am going back to 10 count vintage or 11 count DMC
and I will be using 5 strands of DMC floss.



I know I can actually complete a project using these
like my Quilty Love Cross Stitch

I bought the three bluebird fabrics on the right for finishing my project.

I love the bluebird needle minder ...  <3

I like the idea that it is a mystery.

I like surprises ... :-)
