I finished block 1 of the Passione Ricamo Mystery Stitch A Long.
One and a half fish and some hair. Section 2 is due out on July 1, so I am very happy that I am finished section 1. I’ve seen a sneak peek of section 2 and there is about as much stitching as section 1, so I should be able to keep up with no problem.
I also started Mirabilia’s Siren and the Shipwreck.
She is being stitched on Sunny Dyes Under the Sea in 16ct Aida. I will have to take a photo of the full piece of fabric. Or you can see it at Sunny Dyes website. The bottom is hand painted. Love it! When I saw it I knew it was for Siren. This scroll frame has my lovely covers that Karen made for me. Isn’t she a sweetie? Here is a closer shot of my progress and what she will look like in the end:
That is what I have been up to. Thank you for visiting.
My Time Stitching 
Ginny, you are just a stitching fool this week! And what lovely projects to work on. I love that you are doing the SAL on a pretty pastel. It looks wonderful on that fabric. Your Siren is going to be drop dead gorgeous too!

Oh my geez Ginny you’ve been busy!! It took me forever to catch up on everything that you’ve been doing and I love seeing all of your work. I’m extremely jealous of all of your fabrics and find myself wanting more for the little collection that I have. I think that all of your works are beauties and want to one day be able to get my really good works professionally framed.
I’m also wondering where you find your SALs and how you get involved in those. I think that would be awesome to do for when I get burned out on what I’m doing the majority of the time.
I like your solution for holding the fabric too. I have mine on my rods and lap frame and while it’s not as taut as I would like it’s something I’ve become used to.
Happy stitching!!
