Theme-a-licious March Update

Theme-a-licious is hosted by Heather of It's Geek to Me

Each month Heather thinks up a theme for us to stitch to, or in my case, a theme to somehow shoe-horn my existing stitching into, no matter how tenuous the link! 


March Madness
Work on something different every day...it's madness...of the funnest possible kind.


Regular followers will know that I don't do the daily rotations some people love but I do try to stitch a variety of designs in March.  Back in 2012 I stitched 12 different designers, last year I managed 13 so this year I thought - let's go for 14 different projects.  I didn't want to do 14 different designers because that would mess up the Just Nan SAL!

Here are the 14 in the order started:

1. Measi's RR, Bands from Just Nan Needlestory

2. Somebunny to Love - Bathtime Bunny

3. A Mon Ami Pierre - Noel Blanc


4. Primitive Hare - Spooky Countdown, Block 5,6,7,8 and 9

5. Brooke's Books Belinda the Bat Witch/Vampire now mounted in an Italian scene from an old calendar

6. Snowflower Diaries - Spring Witch, also mounted in a calendar page.

7. Secret Project for a friend

8. Just Nan - Winter Typography

9. Another secret project!

10. Twisted Thread - Easter Bunny
(left over project from last year!)

11. The Little Stitcher - 12 Days of Christmas, Day of Warmth

12. Rachel's RR, Bands from Just Nan Cynthia's Sampler and Sweet Rememberance

13. Jannlynn - Gathering Honey
(project for a friend, stitched most of the green)

14. Prairie Moon - Thine is the Trick and the Treat
(I stitched those two little hands in the bottom right)

Phew!  That's a lot of stitching!  Next month will be tricker, SoCal Debbie suggested the theme April Showers so we have to think of designs with water in them.  Or maybe a nice Anti-theme piece with a desert!

Finally, I am still taking sign-ups for the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop.  Click on the bunny on the right-hand side for more information.  He's a Just Nan design, Dewdrop Bunny.  Please feel free to borrow him and use as a link to promote the Blog Hop.

Love your project selections! That wee bunny holding the egg is adorable!!

In addition to my "frozen water counts" hint, remember that clouds are just a lot of water vapour, too... =)

All those projects going at once ... John almost needed to put me in a straightjacket after I saw this post! I would gladly be a part of your Easter Treasure Hunt but you know me ... I rarely stitch anything but winter/Christmas themed stuff : )

Hello Jo

Your stitching is all great! You have so many lovely projects.
I love Just Nan designs.
Have a good weekend.

Wow, that's definitely a lot of stitching that you show here. And wonderful pieces. how clever to mount some of the designs into old calendar sheets. a lovely idea.

Bravo ! (sorry the post I made from the office on friday doesnot work).
Must thank you too because you and Heather give me "courage" and my March has been busy and efficient ! Great to have models as you both.
Kind regards

Lots of wonderful projects as usual Jo. I must confess to only making it to about day 8 before life took over and hardly any stitching has been done since!
