Some more designs from the Big Bird Bundle! They are all so stunning, please go show these designers some love!

The Big Bird Bundle is available until October 10th with a minimum donation of $12 to the National Audubon Society. Head over to our Tiltify campaign (link in bio), and make sure to add the pattern bundle reward to your cart and input your email before donating! (Check out the last slide for what that looks like). If it's been while and you haven't received an email with instructions for how to download the bundle, please reach out thebigbirdbundle@gmail.com with a screenshot of your donation and I'll get you sorted ASAP!

@boomerangstitches with Nighthawk Navigation, featuring a Common Nighthawk! These aerialists are quite adept at catching prey in flight and are very common throughout the Americas.

@themarigoldneedle with Garden Guardian, featuring a leucistic hummingbird! Leucisim is a common genetic mutation among many animal species, resulting in a loss of pigment production. A real life shiny Pokemon!

@pixelpixiexstitch with Turbo Chicken, featuring a Greater Roadrunner! These fast-running ground birds are found in throughout Mexico and the Southeast US. Their large, characteristic tails help them turn quickly when running at top speeds.

@theretrostitcher with HARMONY, featuring a rainbow phoenix! A grand bird from mythology, I think it is an excellent metaphor for conservation; no matter what, we can always rise again and we can always do better. A collage of 4 cross stitch patterns, all featuring birds, including a common nighthawk, a leucistic hummingbird, a roadrunner, and a rainbow phoenix. Text reads "The Big Bird Bundle supporting the National Audubon Society. Available September 25th until October 10th"

‘P’ is coming up next week, so here are some ideas of designers to join with! There are tons of options again for this letter that I didn’t even list, so I’m excited to see what everyone pulls out for #20TwentyStitch!

I added an extra slide again with some of my finishes of @pixelpixiexstitch designs! I also have a WIP, but I only have the outline of the border, so I figured the finishes were more interesting right now lol

Stop everything! I have an FFO, which is already a miracle by itself. BUT ALSO, I crocheted the hanger myself using the same thread I used to stitch the sampler. I am so freaking proud and happy with how it turned out! Good thing too, because I’ll be entering this into the county fair. It’ll be my first time entering, so we’ll see how it goes! I consider myself a winner either way since it’s done and it’s beautiful and it will be the start of my cross stitch wall regardless of what some random judge says (but a ribbon would also be pretty neat).

It’s May which means it’s time for Stitch Maynia! I can’t believe this is the 6th year of bringing out the wheel to do my version of Maynia. As you can see, the wheel has grown significantly over time, largely thanks to that ‘New Start’ slot lol we also won’t talk about how many slots have gotten carried across each wheel 😬

For those following along with my Maynia for the first time, I add all of my current WIPs to the wheel, as well as some extra slots to make things extra manic. I spin the wheel each day and stitch on whatever comes up that day! I’ll post updates in my stories each day with the spins and progress as we move through the month. It’s chaotic and crazy and so much fun to let fate decide what happens this month.

Swipe through to see the starting points for all of my WIPs. I’m excited to see how much progress I get throughout this month of randomness.

Moving further north with the biomes. A fox 🦊 a snowshoe hare 🐰 and my favorite the pine marten. Look at those whiskers! So much to see again in this taiga biome!🥰
