The whole idea for this Mystery Stitch A Long is to stitch this design with cross stitching first, and then  go back and embellish with embroidery stitches. We will do this on week 4 with me showing you my finished piece and giving you ideas for different stitches that can be used,  how to make your cross stitching pop and come alive.

This is not a seaside scene :(  Maybe its a welcoming part of your home :)

    I would love to join in the fun, but I won't have much stitching time with the last month of school for my daughter. She graduates the end of the month and there are so many events going on my stitching time will be very little.

  17. Donna, your mysteries are always fun! I do have a question. Not know what the two rose colored threads are used for, would it be appropriate to use two blues instead? Thank you!
