Hello friends.
I am back to stitching.
These are the projects I am currently
working on.
Floral Motif Sampler.
This is where I last picked this piece up.
Finished the bird on the orange flowers.
Went up to stitch these gray flowers.
Then went down to stitch this green one.
Back up again to complete
the small raspberry one.
Next to that this red one in a black basket.
Finally this long red flower stemmed one.
I also came down on the right border a bit.
Still many more motifs to complete,
but am loving getting back to this.
So there was an error in the pattern.
The brown color in the border below
the first row of letters called for the
teal blue in the pattern instructions.
Which when I started did it in
teal and not brown which is the photo color.
Did not look at the photo until day 2.
However I also screwed up in this line.
It called for the eyelet stitch.
I stitched the Smyrna one.
Oh well...am leaving it as is.
I wanted this piece to have a little
more oomph.
Therefore adding in a bit of DMC 501 into it.
Next are the Prairie Schooler angels.
These first two I had already finished.
Have now completed the next two.
Am loving stitching these lil angels.
Hopefully I will have all 8 fully
finished to add to my Christmas tree
this year.
Next is Faith 1831.
This is where I left off last month.
I stitched these birds and flower pot.
Also the bird on the stem of flowers.
Although I did not take an up close pic,
I also started another flower on the left.
So much more to go on this one.
Finally this lil sampler called
Little Quilt Block Sampler.
This is where I was last month.
Once the design is stitched,
will add in my maternal grandparents
initials and their children
for my heritage wall.
In other news,
well lookie what I found.
I wanted to finish these into pillows
before July 4th.
Just found these the other day in
our bedroom under some of
my mom's things I needed to go through.
Why the heck I put them in here,
I have no clue...but glad I finally found them.
Today we are taking our doggie sitter
out for lunch for watching Tundra
the days we needed to be North
for mom's funeral.
We fondly call him Grandpa Ed,
and he calls Tundra his Grand dog.
However before we do that, we are
heading out to the farmer's market.
Last week we had the juiciest peaches
along with the biggest and best canteloupe.
Cannot believe the BER months have started.
Time and the months are flying by.
We saw our first trees turning colors yesterday.
Hope everyone is enjoying their
final days of Summer.
Mid Week Blessings To All!























Better late than never for the Patriotic Pillows. Am sure Grandpa Ed will enjoy his lunch.
ReplyDeleteHa, that is funny about the pillows. I am glad you found them. I hope to find some peaches at the farmers market. There is an orchard up by Bayfield that grows peaches, apples, grapes, and more.
ReplyDeleteYUM!!
You've got some very detailed stitches going right now. I like them all! Glad you found those patriotic ones.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice lunch, a good dog sitter is a blessing!
Wow, lovely projects…all are beautiful…I especially love the patriot ones. Thank you for sharing, a joy to see your work. Happy day,

I enjoy seeing your stitching projects I so wish there was a farmer's market near us-I really miss that. I would gladly give you some of this weeks 100 degree days-it's brutal out there haha
ReplyDeleteHugs Kathy
I’m sure Grandpa Ed and Tundra are best buds.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your stitcheries!
Did you even realize your little patriotic pieces were missing? Great you found them. They will be all ready for our Nation’s 251st birthday 🤣
Oh your stiching is so nice. I love the little angels. I read that the colors will be 2 weeks early for us due to dry hot summer.
ReplyDeleteEverytime you bost I always wish I had the eyes for cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a dog sitter we are picking up our daughters dog tomorrow while they go away.

"Back to stitching"??? It certainly doesn't look like you ever left LOL. And no wonder you "misplaced" the patriotic stitches and didn't realize they were MIA. Each and every one is beautiful and beautifully stitched. Yes, you are lucky to have Grandpa Ed. As much as I love my Snowdog, it was so hard for me to go anywhere - especially since he required medication morning and night. Our leaves have already begun turning and falling. So odd since yesterday was above 90º.
ReplyDeleteAll your stitching looks so pretty. I like the last colorful one.
ReplyDeleteI love September but not ready for it! If this is not stitching full on, I don't know what is! You have some fantastic projects here, all beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteWell, Google let me in this time. Need to sign in and "allow" but doesn't always work, and I'm always signed in anyway! Regardless, a great group of samplers to work on.
