Slow stitching this week...

My big basket of tiny samplers is filling up!


I added the Little Red Schoolhouse Mini Sampler to the collection this week.  Thank you, Melisa, for offering so many fun freebies to keep me stitching!


I realized that before I start anymore cross-stitch projects, I need to work on the September heart for my Year of Hearts collection.  So I got it prepped and traced, and I've stitched the outer borders.

I need to color in some sections on this one, too.
Melisa has the apples in different colors on hers - 
green, yellow, and red - so cute!

Meanwhile our apple tree is covered in tiny apples, the size of a golf ball at the most.  I haven't even tried to do anything with them.  I think it would take about a thousand to get enough to feed anyone!


Have a wonderful Sunday!

LOL on taking a thousand apples to make anything. Maybe you need to buy a press to make yourself some cider. ;) Love your little basket of stitches. Have a fun Sunday!

What a great basket of stitchery pillows! I'd throw a bunch in a pot and make some applesauce. Yummy.

I have been searching my craft supplies for edging to finish my pillows and then I see all of your pretty plainly finished pillows and love them. The little red school house pillow is so pretty. I like the basket of apples embroidery too. I like eating the little apples for snacks sometimes. I can't imagine trying to bake with them though. Maybe muffins or bread where you only need a couple.

Your basket of samplers is wonderful. I hope you get to stitch on your September heart! It is your day of course! Happy happy birthday! I hope there will be cake, with an apple on the side! 🙂

Red schoolhouse is charming. It wouldn’t be fun peeling a golf ball size apple.

Your slow stitching feels "fast" to me! It seems like you have a fully finished item at least every week!!! I like your latest finish!
