|---|---|---|
| Color Swap |  | 2 strands on 18 count aida ; Pattern |
| Color Theory |  | DMC 740, 725, 905, 966, 3837 |
| Design: Inspired by Color |  | Hydrangeas inspired by Emmcy's palette |
| Unique Techniques | Discovered a Tutorial for: | How to Make a Box out of Hoops |
| Artist Studies: Durene Jones |  | Pattern In thinking about this pattern as i stitched it i was mostly struck by how she used 3/4 stitches and how they blended the colours together and worked with the backstitch to add a lot of detail to such a small pattern. it was really good practice, i knew how to do 3/4 stitches but had barely done them before, patterns i'd done before with them only used a couple. this one used a LOT, and it used them really effectively. also, this was my first time doing french knots. so i think her patterns are also really good teaching tools, they have a variety of methods and they aren't too intimidating. |
| Stitch Spot |  | Would love to have a desk dedicated to stitching but my half of the computer desk I share with my husband does the job just fine for now. I can lose hours watching netflix or youtube and stitchin' away, with my trusty old tablet to mark off patterns. |
| Topsy Turvy |  | Since I almost exclusively stitch using the English method I thought for this I'd try just using the danish method, which I haven't really used since I first started stitching. it was an interesting experience, I learned a lot of things I forgot about it. Pattern |
| Stash System | Discovered organization inspiration: | Embroisery Floss Folder I thought this was a really interesting way to store skeins! |
| Revisit a UFO |  | Pattern ; since I don't have any UFOs, I thought I'd look in my to-do folder and do what had been in there the longest, and I saved this cutie to my computer in 2016. he's finally done, after all these years. |
| Take Inventory | Took inventory of their stash: | Stash Airtable - i used this as an opportunity to really organise my patterns! i went down from 3 folders to 1, deleted everything i probably won't ever get around to, and categorised everything in airtable. i originally did this in google sheets but then saw what people were doing on airtable and couldn't resist. |
| Unconventional Canvas |  | 6 strands over 2, ??? count jute, Tutorial and Pattern |
| Scissor Soiree |  | The top black pair are what I use the most, they replaced the pretty (mostly blunt) pair under the fabric scissors. I can't really remember where I got the orange pair and I don't know what they're for, excactly! They have a little hook on them. |
| Prepare to Dye |  | My first time dyeing! I followed the tea dying youtube tutorial on the page for this quest, used a cheap pack of black tea, & I think it came out really well. I dyed 2 pieces of aida because I think I have a couple of projects that I think will suit this colour quite nicely. |
| International Style | Traveled the world and discovered: | Since my surname is Czech I thought I'd look around and see if I could find any křížový steh styles. I couldn't find that much, but I found Sawako Takizawa IG account who made some bookmarks using designs from an old czech magazine: |
| Artist Studies: Ink Circles |  | This design I chose is from the 2007 freebies, page 5. It only calls for 3 shades of purple, I used 209, 3837 and 550. The mirroring in these designs make them a really unique stitching experience. Also it's really fun to stitch 'along' in the direction of the design |
| Blackwork Research | Researched Blackwork and discovered: | Blackwork Geometric Panda I did a little reading on the history of blackwork and then got to searching through Etsy. It's interesting to think about how all these modern patterns could potentially be using designs that are hundreds of years old. |
| Bewitching Blackwork |  | This is my second attempt at blackwork and I don't think it's for me. If I hadn't make a mistake in the second leaf I might have finished this but idk, it's just not fun or relaxing for me. Sorry! I got the pattern from this website, it's inspired by old Elizabethan blackwork |
| Petite Patterns | Found a small pattern to stitch: | I'm going to do the blobfish pattern from Siri's Stardew Valley book, on page 95! |
| Speedy Stitching |  | I stitched this happy boy from Sirithre's Stardew Book. He's 206 stitches and it took me an hour and 6 minutes. Which works out at 3.121 stitches per minute, 187 per hour |
| Specialty Study | Found a tutorial: | All of these specialty stitches are pretty new to me, and i especially like the look of the Rhodes stitch |
| Specialty Practice |  | Here's a few different stitches from last month's turn ins that I liked the look of. My favourite was the rice stitch, but the rhodes stitch was a lot of fun too. The shell stitch was difficult to try and figure out, I still don't think it's right, but it was interesting to try! |
| Needle Minder Mania |  | I use needle minders and biscornus so I included both. |
