Wow, I can't believe another month has passed and tomorrow will be May 1st.
I am a couple of days late with this check-in but I have busy with Guiding stuff and finally getting around to filing my Income Tax (I can be such a procrastinator sometimes).
Everything is done and Stitchmaynia 2019 doesn't start until tomorrow so I have time now to check-in.
I finished a few projects (albeit small ones) this month
Since I just got notification that my partner has received her April ATC I will post a picture now that I couldn't post last month.
Afternoon Tea - Lynn B (Happinessiscrossstitcing.blogspot.com)
My first finish this month was Night Sky Bear by Stitches Lovers (Etsy)
Winter Collection - Ye Old Santa - Mill Hill
Santa's Hat & Boots - Keslyn (2018 JCS Christmas issue)
I really love how the Hat's & Boots turned out. I made the trim by doing a zig-zag running stitch on the ribbon and gathering it together.
Penquin #2 - Vee and Company (this is the 2nd one I have done this year)
I also finished the May Card for the Cross Stitch Card & ATC SAL but I will wait until next month to show it.
I managed a few more stitches on The Elizabeth Hancock Sampler - Little House Needleworks and (edited) Alice in Wonderland (Bothy Threads).
(excuse the dog hair - I didn't notice until I took the picture)
and succumbed to a bout of startitis and pulled out Nature's Beauty - Little House Needleworks.
This month's question is to talk about my oldest WIP/UFO. My is Peacock Tapestry by Teresa Wentzler. I started sometime in the 1990's. I love it but the back stitching is holding me back. One day I will finish it.
Edited: I forgot one of my Christmas ornament finishes: Snowbells: Jingles - Mill Hill (Debbie Mumm)
Well, that is it for this month.
Take care and Happy Stitching!!!
So many lovely pieces stitched on and/or finished this past month. The bear is really effective, and who can't help but love the little Mill Hill snowman or the upside down penguin?! I agree about the ribbon as an effective way of creating a border around a finish and is something I'd like to do more often, although I haven't yet tried a zig-zag stitch to create the gathers. :)
