Cross Stitch Mystery Stitch Alongs

You may remember that I've done quite a few cross stitch mystery stitch alongs over the years!

These are my 2 most recent ones:

And here a couple of my older ones:

I'm planning on doing some more stitch alongs so I'm asking for your suggestions.  What themes or colors would you like to see in upcoming cross stitch mysteries?

Please post your suggestions in the comments and I will make a list to work from!  2019 is going to be a fun year here on my blog!!!!

If anyone is missing the above designs, they're all available in my Etsy shop.  I have more of my older patterns to put together still and I'll get to them as soon as I can.  First I have to start on the Spring issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine.

Speaking of which, the Winter 2018 issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly is now available!!
