Stitch Maynia 2019 continues! So far I haven't done any FFOing, but I did put a couple of stitches into an old WIP today.
May 6
Hats Off to Halloween, by Lizzie Kate, on 28 count mystery fabric (it's a hand-painted white and gray marbled evenweave). I was excited to find that I have most of the charted threads already in my stash, although I think maybe GAST Sable has changed considerably since the pattern was first released - in the design photo the cat looks black, but my Sable is a mid-brown. So I'll swap that one out. And I don't have GAST Peacock, but I'm sure I have a good alternative.
May 7
Jade Blue by Nora Corbett, 32 count French Lace linen. I picked up the Kreinik 042 #4 braid when I got the pattern a couple of years ago - evidently it’s been discontinued so it would be less easy to find now.
May 8
You Had Me At Flamingo by Hands On Design on 36 count linen from my stash. I had purchased the charted pinks along with the pattern, but I'll use stash/DMC for the other colors. The little pillow and one of the fobs will be a gift for my flamingo-loving mom.
May 9
Oktober Feast by With Thy Needle and Thread/Brenda Gervais, on 36 count PTP Legacy linen with the charted threads. I normally prefer 2 over 2 on 36 count, but this pattern specifies 1 over 2 so I decided to go with it.

Old WIP: Mermaid Azure by Nora Corbett, started back in 2016 and promptly abandoned after a couple dozen stitches. I don't know why I continually avoid this project, the fabric is gorgeous and the mermaids will be lovely. My intention is to stitch Azure and Verde on the same fabric, facing each other. If I ever get that far. Fabric is 32 count Naiad linen by Under the Sea Fabrics.
