This week I finished up the Watermelon Stamp, which is full of my favorite summer things: watermelon, sunflowers, birds, and buzzing bees.
And - the mini flag sampler, which has joined the collection in my big basket of samplers!
And then I read Melisa's Thursday post. Did you know that it was National "Thread the Needle" day? Well, me neither, but I didn't mind having another reason to do some stitching! When Melisa shared her cute design for a tiny sewing basket full of goodies, I decided I needed to start it. This is the beginnings of Sew Day Basket, found at the link above.
Do you have a tomato pincushion? I do!
I'll have to include it in the photo when I finish this little design!

Your little summer stamp is adorable - love your basket of pretties. I had Mom's tomato until it began to rip many years ago. I went ahead and pulled it open and found many needles inside!
ReplyDeleteI knew that’s where all my needles disappeared to! In my tomato pin cushion! And probably some other pin cushions as well! :). Have a good Sunday Linda! Missing your blog posts!
DeleteAll of your stamps are so cute. You've been really productive on those this year. Melisa's designs are really addictive, which why I refuse to start one! I have a tomato pin cushion, but I don't use it these days. It's boring compared to the pin cushions you can find now.
ReplyDeleteLove your new little stitching finish. I am way behind you on the samplers but I have my first row of red done on the flag;)
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon is so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteAnother finish and another start! You really were celebrating National “Thread the Needle “ Day! Nice job! I’ve downloaded charts to my laptop. So I made the first step. 😀
ReplyDeleteLove the watermelon! I do have a red, blue and pink tomato pincushion! Enjoy stitching today.
ReplyDeleteI love your two finishes! I just downloaded the chart that you are now working on. All are so pretty. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteI had one years ago but I'm sure it got tossed at some point! I haven't seen it in ages.
ReplyDeleteI had a tomato pincushion years ago, but have no idea what happened to it. Love your finishes, and your new project!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a tomato pincushion I still have the strawberry, but it goes with a little pumpkin pincushion instead.
ReplyDeleteI do have a tomato pincushion. Although. . .I store my used needles in it rather than pins. . . LOL. Wonderful finishes and what a fun new start!
ReplyDeleteI have a tomato pincushion, but it's lavender not red! I mostly use my round magnetic one instead.

Oh my ! All of your stitches look amazing, Diann! I am so very humbled and honored. You had a great stitchy week. Great start on Sew Day too. I do have a tomato pinkeep. I saw one the other day at the antique store - I regret that I did not get it . Oh well, just an excuse to return. Fingers crossed it will be there. I can not wait to see your stitch finished with your pincushion. Happy stitching and thank you . Hugs.
