StitchMaynia 2019

My StitchMaynia is over. This year I tried to be monogamous and chose Twisted Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework. The idea was to start new band every day for 17 days.
I used the rest of the month to complete the project.
It was stitched with called-for Dinky Dyes silks on Ecru Sotema linen (it was bought as 40ct. linen but in fact it is not quite even 37/39ct) 1 over 2.
Worked on the project - 1-29 May 2019. Have only positive feelings about it.

Bamboo spinning

It took me years to spin 9 grams of bamboo fibre. Not fond of it.
But now... I have a spare spindle for something new.

I replaced Aida fabric in the kit with cotton evenweave.
That was such a wonderful project to stitch, enjoy every minute of it!
