Mini Mystery Mandala I

I haven't stitched a whole lot this past week (the sun is shining in Scotland! Gotta make the most of that when it happens, y'know?!), so I unfortunately don't have any progress photos of Where My Heart Blooms to share this time. I did stitch on it a wee bit, but not enough to really justify taking a new photo.

I do have a wee progress photo to share, though. Of the new Mini Mystery Mandala I by Chatelaine. I'm stitching this one with DMC instead of the NPI silks. I started it on 1 April when the first instalment was released, but I only got so far, as I had to wait on the specialty threads to arrive... they finally arrived at the end of last month, so I resumed stitching and I'm working on Part 2 now too. No beads yet - I always leave those to the end.


Anne was asking what fabric I'm stitching the Little House Needleworks Coffee series on. It's Vintage Country Mocha Belfast linen. I also used that fabric for The Old West. I love it for Little House Needlework Designs and as it's a regular Belfast Linen, it works out a lot cheaper than the hand dyeds too.

That's coming along beautifully, Concetta! I also have this pattern, still waiting for supplies - and I'll also replace the NPIs. Looks like fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

Absolutely GORGEOUS stitching--and I especially like those coffee pieces by LHN that you've done. Just fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
