Yep, Junia, because I'm extending Maynia in June! I have lots to share and this post may run into 2 parts. I'm hoping not. Let's go..
Maynia kind of crashed and burned after the last post. Not really though because I joined an exchange and started stitching for that around the 20th. This is Hurrah! by Pineberry Lane Designs..

So everything I showed on the May 18th post was it for my Maynia. I got closer to a few finishes
which will be stitched in June. Here those are..
Christmas Garden, of course, I did get in more of that red flower bush there in the lower
left corner.
A Merry Hart in the picture above this^ will be the first I pick up once I get more stitches
in my exchange piece.
I have an FFO..
This is Cozy Cabin by LHN found in a JCS ornie mag. It's so tiny I felt I needed to add
on the two fabrics. Still deciding on trim but I subscribe to the notion of less is more,
so we'll see.
From the Dept. of Reworked Finishes comes these 3..
For the skeleton piece, I cut most of the excess fabric off past the orange ribbon. I
like it better shortened. The middle piece was a long horizontal pillow which looked
awful! So I took it apart and added the fabric behind it, to the top and bottom. Carol,
this one will get the light orange cord treatment, one of the cords I won from you. Last but not
least is the la D Da freebie that was one of my very first finishes ever. When I
discovered stitchy blogs, I learned that everything didn't need to be framed! I'm not
sure how I'll finish it as both fabric and the homespun I used for the backing is fraying bad
with not much room for a quarter seam. All these refinished are sitting on top of their back
fabric.
And I stashed too. Here is one..
and this beauty that I plan to start this month..
Girls in Blue Dresses by Merry Wind Farm. She has a blog and she's a kind of
newish designer of repro samplers. Beautiful samplers she's got going and
sometimes she'll offer freebies. I don't have a link. I am missing some floss
like Buckeye Scarlet for the red and a few other DMCs. I bought the chart off
a stash selling FB site. Dangerous place I tell you! When I saw this chart, I jumped
on it.
I believe I'm done! One thing about using Blogger this way is I have to keep
everything short and to the point!
So there are my plans for June. I stopped stitching an entire week because
of some worries and stress. Usually, I stitch to keep those at bay but not
this time. After today, I'll be back to normal.
Take care everyone! Hope you get lots of stitching in:)
