Stitch Maynia May 5

I worked both jobs today so didn't have enough time for a sewing project.  I did a quick finish on a Mill Hill ornament.  I back the finished piece with sturdy paper then add a hangar using leftover beads. It usually works pretty well!

Day 4 - I finished a Homespun Elegance design into an ornament.  Since this has charms on it I'm sure it was one of her annual ornament designs, but I don't know what year. It was "on the pile" (pile of designs stitched but not finished).
The good news is it's done!

Day 3 finish is "I Collect" from With Thy Needle and Thread. It is stitched on 36ct fabric with 1 thread, and finished as a mattress style pincushion. I also trimmed all around the sides with an old tape measure. Done!

I thought about whether to join in on Mania this year. I don't want to start tons of new projects, so what to do? I've decided to work on all the finishing pieces I have laying around, begging to be a completed project. I don't have a list, just gonna work on whatever pops up next. So.... here's the kickoff!
This is the #bewellandstitch freebie from With Thy Needle and Thread. I stitched it on 40 count gauze using the threads as designed.  The frame was found at a now-closed stitch shop and has been waiting for the right design, and this is it. I love the way it turned out!
