Hello Summer!

 

This was a Free Stitch Friday design from Primrose Cottage that they sent to newsletter subscribers last summer and I finally fully finished it just in time for this summer!

Now my small chest of drawers is decked out for summer, too.


In other summer stitching, I'm moving along on Melisa's Summer stitch-along.  Stamp 6, Pink Lemonade, is done, and stamp 7 is in progress.  It's called Home Tweet Home - so sweet with the bird and its birdhouse and flowers.  It's not hard to enjoy every stitch of this project!

I had to laugh as I just downloaded the June stitch from Primrose Cottage yesterday ... or was it Friday? Anyway I enjoy stitching their free patterns too. Love the cherries on last year's summer stitch. You've made a nice summer welcome display.

Congrats on the finish and you can enjoy displaying it all season. I think I will use mine in mid July through August but I need to make a watermelon wall quilt to go with I think!

Your summer display looks so nice, Diann. I love the little basket filled with pillows. Melisa's Summer Stamp has been a fun stitch along. You are making great progress.

Such a nice pin holder. Very nice homage for summer. This week it is much toooo hot for June here in Germany and pets and human beings are suffering. Could you stich winter, please … this imagination may be helps to cool us down? Just joking, eva
