Goodness. 31 starts would make me very stressed. I am encouraged by those who modify it to make a challenge that works for them. I will be one of those and work diligently on one of my active WIPS for 3-4 days in a row in a effort for \u201cvisible progress\u201d this month. I will call it WIP MAYnia. Anyway, enough chit chat.

I decided it would be too much work. I just wonder if the whole color scheme is too bold. Oh well. It ISN&#8217;T dull and muted, and that was what I was trying to avoid. And it does photograph well, it is just brighter in person!<\/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=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_8205.jpg?resize=640%2C731&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_8205.jpg?resize=897%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 897w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_8205.jpg?resize=263%2C300&amp;ssl=1 263w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_8205.jpg?resize=768%2C876&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_8205.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway! Over the weekend, I finished the T and U sections. YAY! Some of the stitches were very time consuming like that tall tree done in &#8220;thorn stitch&#8221; and the purple grid under the T which is a combination of upright cross and upright rice stitch. I have finished the whole first column on this sampler and it is 1\/3 finished! I have some catching up to do to get it on track for a finish this year. I guess I am one month behind. That&#8217;s not impossible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many stitchers on social media do the MAYnia event, which I think is originated as a challenge to start a new project every day in May.
