I've been so excited about the sunflower blooming in my garden this week that I decided I had to finish the Old Crow Salt Box House cross-stitch piece. And I did!
I was having so much fun stitching that last sunflower that
I almost forgot to add the chimneys to the house.
Good thing that didn't take long!
This fits right in with my other sunflower pieces on display for the month of August.
So now I'm back to working on "Hello Summer!"
There really isn't too much left on this one - just the bottom row of motifs -
some lemons, another watermelon piece, and finish the border.
I can have this done before fall comes, right?!
I'll be stitching on this today for my Slow Sunday Stitching -
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts.
Love that pop of the blue saltbox on your table! I bet the bees are happy to have that sunflower. The pink zinnias look pretty next to it. Have a great Sunday!

ReplyDeleteOld Crow Saltbox House is finished nicely and looks great with the other sunflower pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers and had a bank of them up at the farm. I have two now that are accidental in the pots on the deck. One is starting to bloom. Old Crow Saltbox is just lovely, Diann. Such a great slow stitching hobby, isn't it!
