Summer Stitching

I've continued to work on the summer-themed cross-stitch projects that I had shared about last week during my slow stitching evenings this week.  Here's the Summer Stamp, all done.  I love the happy sunflowers! 

The stitching is just 2.5 inches square!

And working away on Pop Go the Fireworks.  Just getting started on the red truck full of fireworks!


These sweet little designs are shared so generously by Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting, and are perfect for someone like me who is a little rusty at the craft of cross-stitching! (Plus I like small and simple!)  Eventually I'll finish these into little pillows to add to my bowl full of small handwork pieces.

How cute those are! I admire your eyes for being able to cross stitch on such a small area. :D

2.5 inches! Melanie does some small pieces like that too - I think she is putting a strain on her eyes.

So tiny! Nice to have something that works up quickly and be so cute.

Your cross-stitching is adorable. I love the small pictures. Can't wait to see the truckful of fireworks.

OMG these mini summer stitching is so freakin cute! And your stitching is just exquisite (and the photography is perfect too!) You inspire me to get off the computer and get my summer stamp stitching out!

Such pretty cross stitch pieces, you can obviously cope well with working on tent tiny pieces like these.

Such tiny little squares of cross stitch loveliness, Diann. Summer and sunflowers, a little red truck filled with fireworks; so charming.

It is so exciting to see your Summer stamp, Diann. Thank you so much for adding it to your summer stitching. I am a sunflower lover too. You will have the truck finished in no time. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
