If so, why did you decide to do the mystery? What appealed to you about it? Did you enjoy it? If you have not done a mystery, would you ever do one?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, I have actually now participated in a mystery.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/alchemystitchcraft\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alchemy Stitchcraft Yahoo! group<\/a> had a mystery sampler SAL a little while ago that I participated in.  Correction: I&#8217;m still participating.  I really hope to finish it one of these weekends, as it is pretty.  It was relatively small and I like the designer, so I didn&#8217;t feel like it was a huge risk.  As much as I like the Chatelaine designs, I don&#8217;t know that I would want to spend that much money until I&#8217;ve seen the finished product.  Besides, I can&#8217;t manage to finish a design that huge, so until I actually stitch a few of her larger ones, I wouldn&#8217;t feel confident enough to do a mystery.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I would definitely do a smaller one again, though.  It was fun and relatively quick (or would have been, if I had kept up with it).  One of these days, I&#8217;ll get the guts to sign up for some of Martina&#8217;s mini mysteries.  The Romantic Castle series turned out beautifully.  It&#8217;s just hard to justify the expense to keep up with them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s SBQ was suggested by Carol and is: Have you ever participated in a needlework mystery (i.e., a design that you started before knowing how it will look in the end and by which you receive parts of the design &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/?p=434\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
