Stitch from my Stash Projects ~ April


I'm still working on a few March bonus projects, but I have selected my 
April Stitch from My Stash Projects.

First up is:
Crispin Sewing Box
by Stacy Nash

This was a class at the 2018 From Our Hands Creative Retreat.
I didn't take the class as I had a conflict, but was able to purchase the kit at the Mercantile.


"Stoneware Bunny"
by Priscilla's Pocket
was released and purchased in the Spring of 2017!
Yep, after two years, I am finally going to stitch and finish it.

I am hoping that these two projects will be quick as I have recently bought several new Easter/Spring cross stitch charts that I am really itching to stitch! But I must Stitch from my Stash first!

And there is a new wool project to start as well:


"Rabbit & Hen Wall Quilt"
by Carried Away Designs in Wool


I started this last year - you can read about it here.
And purchased I purchased it back in 2016 - here.
I would so love to finish it, but I am a little daunted by all the embroidery stitches that need to be done...
Well, if I don't complete it this month, I can at least make some progress...

Well, now is the time that you have been waiting for!
Thanks so much to the 37 people that entered my little giveaway.
It was so fun to read all of the comments.You all had very logical ideas of the color that I have 10 skeins of - Carriage Black, Black Crow, Harvest Basket, Dried Thyme, Oatmeal - all common colors that I would have guessed as well. What was the color that I have 10 skeins of???
Mulberry!
Don't ask me how that happened - I really have no idea LOL!
Since no one guessed the color, I used random.org to select a random winner. 
The winner is #23 - Simple Pleasure!  
Patricia, please send your mailing address to me at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com and I will get your skein of Mulberry and a few other treasures on their way to you.

The other question was how many skeins I have of Gentle Arts Sampler Threads in my box.
The guesses ranged from 65 to 262.
I don't really want to divulge how many I have as the number is much larger than any of the guesses...
If you promise not to tell my husband , I'll share - 357 skeins! Oh my!
kcmrugs - you won closest to the number with 262. Please send your mailing address to me at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com and I will get your skein of Mulberry and a few other treasures on their way to you.

Please respond in the next week so that I can get these sent out to you both.

Mom was here over the weekend. She was kind enough to help me organize my Weeks Dye Works.
I have less of those so it wasn't quite as big of a job ;)
I've also started collecting Classic Colorworks and will keep these organized from the start lol.

Thanks again for joining in my giveaway - I'll have another one again soon.

Truly my soul finds rest in God;
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
~Psalm 62:1-2

Blessings, Patti

Regarding the total number of skeins...fear not...always remember the words of Mary Englbreit...TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING IS WONDERFUL...that's my new mantra!

Oh I love each and every one of your new (well, not-REALLY-new) stitches for the month!!! I absoltely adore Stacy’s bunny box though!! And it will be fun to see all those specialty stitches on the appliqué....please share lots of close ups. It’s been so long that I have done anything other than a basic cross stitch, Smyrna. French knot or blanket stitch that I probably won’t recognize the majority of them. Fun giveaway! I don’t feel so bad for not guessing Mulberry....I checked...I only have one of those. ;-). Funny how you have less Weeks than GA and I am just the opposite. Congratulations to the lucky winners!!! Happy April...and Happy Stitches! ~Robin~
