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.

ReplyDeleteNever to late. Just download the first section it is located under the sign that says ...and the mystery begins and the supplies are listed in this post. have fun

ReplyDeleteDonna, 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!
ReplyDeleteI'm coming with you ... just need to prepare everything, and it will be a great present for a colleague of mine who had to find a new flat ... after 35 years of marriage :(
