Confetti Stitching Tips

I've fallen into a happy rhythm where the confetti stitching is just working.  It's as fiddly and time consuming as always, but I can see my progress and the more bits of blank aida that get covered up -- even if it's only with a few stitches at at time -- the more I fall in love with this project. 

A few people have asked me for tips on how I do this type of stitching, so here they are...

• Grid your fabric.
• Make sure that you have all of the colors you need and, if possible, keep them in order. It really helps!
• Stitch landmarks (the edges of buildings, tree branches, they eye sockets of skulls....whatever part of the project is easy to figure out) first and use them to keep track of where on the chart and fabric you're working
• Be patient! Projects with lots of colors take longer, but they're definitely worth the extra effort.
