Jo of <a href=\"https:\/\/serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com\/2021\/01\/the-people-chose-designer-of-2020.html\">Serendipitous Stitching<\/a> has asked those of us linking up for People\u2019s Choice to share the favorite designer we stitched in 2020. Friends, for me it just has to be The Drawn Thread! I stitched so much in 2020 but the piece I just really loved stitching the most was Toccata One designed by Cynthia Zittel. It was such a fun, interesting, educational stitch. And went very quickly too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4515-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4515-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4515-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4515-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You never get bored with a stitch like this. As soon as you say &#8220;I&#8217;ve had enough of this stitch,&#8221; you&#8217;re finished with that section. It was like eating potato chips. Finish one block and then say, &#8220;Just one more tonight!&#8221; The only thing that extended the project was missing a few threads so it got put away for a long while. Each time I got in a new thread, I went right back to it. I will get this framed in 2021. I will probably try to frame it myself, it is not too big. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I stitched another piece by Cynthia too, this little Love ornament. It was fun and quick too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_2089-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I also had my Random Thoughts I had stitched a few years ago framed. Seeing it all framed reminded me how much I had loved stitching this one as well (in 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4324.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3596\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be stitching another Drawn Thread piece in 2021, Treasure Box. It has very similar motifs and colors to the others so I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll enjoy it. In a stroke of luck I was able to find the box shown in the model to finish it on. That is why I picked this one to stitch next-the finishing will be a cinch and not anything extra I have to buy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4348.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3631\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to share your favorite designer of 2020 or see others\u2019 favorites, why not <a href=\"https:\/\/serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com\/2021\/01\/the-people-chose-designer-of-2020.html\">head back to Serendipitous Stitching?!<\/a> There&#8217;s sure to be lots of inspiration and things to oooh and aaah over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Favorite designer of 2020!
