Hello Summer, that is! Just three more rows for the watermelon and this will be done.
I did rip a little something out and make a change to the design. In the pattern, the little bees at the very top had antennae made of cross-stitches, and I had stitched mine in pink so they would stand out. See below from last week's photo.
But that just didn't look right to me. So if you look back at the top photo,
you can see that I took those pink stitches out and just made smaller straight stitches
that look more like antennae to me.
A nice change in our weather has it feeling like there's a hint of fall in the air, and that has made me feel like starting some new with a fall theme! This is from Gail Pan's book, Patchwork Loves Embroidery Too. I've stitched this before, but gave it away, so now I want to do it again to keep.
The directions say to stitch this in a variegated red-orange pearl cotton, which I don't have, so will have to go looking for some this week. Meanwhile I can this all prepped and ready to start!
