Mystery Stitch Bingo
The first edition of the cross stitch activity, Mystery Stitch Bingo, started on July 5, 2018. When I sat down to create the first design for this, I decided to use a 100 x 100 stitch chart and divide it into 25 sections with 20wx20h stitches each. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but got hung up on the 25 sections. What was created was a "Summer Garden" themed design with 25 spot motifs representing garden features. These included some water features. I designed this based on the Sulky cotton petite palette that I used in my "April Showers" design. I mainly did that because I had them on hand. I believe that the participants enjoyed the activity. There were pop-up prizes for days 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20. The prizes were awarded to the person who first posted a picture of the stitched section for the day. The grand prize went to Sandy W., who was the first to post a stitched picture of the entire chart. The next of these will start on September 1 with a design from Rosewood Manor. I thank Karen for her generousity to and support of The Stitchers' Village!! Here is a representation of the July chart which will be avaliable as part of The Stitchers' Village Designs portfolio:
