It's hard to believe, but here we are at the beginning of August already! This morning I changed out my little display chest to show the August decorations, which include a lot of sunflowers. If you've read my blog for awhile, you probably remember I love sunflowers!
Even this week's slow stitching includes versions of sunflowers! The Gail Pan Summer embroidery has red flowers with gold centers.
There are red sunflowers, and you can even get seeds for them,
but this might be the closest I've ever gotten to growing something like that.
Last week's Hello turned into Hello Autumn, complete with a crow friend and a heart of gold!
That top left corner contains a sunflower which I will work on today for my Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy's Quilts!

Happy Happy August, Diann. It is always so exciting to see your table dressed for the season. Sunflowers are some of my favorites too. Your Gail Pan stitch is looking marvelous. I love the combination of red and yellow. I have seen the seed packets for red sunflowers. Hmm next year, I might try to plant some. Have a great evening. Hugs.
I need to get my sunflower cross stitch out on display now that August is here. It’s fun to see your tabletop display each month. Have fun stitching the sunflower on your autumn cross stitch! 🌻. Gail at the cozy quilter
What a pretty table you have! That stitchery is beautiful. Love the color of autumn.
Your vase of sunflowers is beautiful! I don’t know if a completely red sunflower would be as charming as yours 😊
It is crazy how fast time is going isn't it! I did see a pic somewhere of a red sunflower recently. Happy stitching!
Your August display is so pretty. It's hard to dislike sunflowers, they are just give off happy vibes. Enjoy your slow stitching today, you've got a fun project to work on.
Lovely Sunflowers decorating your display chest, Diann;))) Sunflowers are so cheerful...
Your stitchery is coming along well..enjoy;)))
hugs, Julierose
I love your cheerful table! Maybe it'll take some of the sting out of the high temps. Those sunflowers are beautiful! I love that little Autumn cross stitch. It is one of my favorites and I can't wait to put it out in October!
Your August display looks great. I saw the sunflower theme right away! Hello Autumn stitchery looks great. That sunflower is going to be the best addition to the piece!
I love seeing your displays!
I love sunflowers that color! are those from seeds you planted or found or bought? so pretty
I like seeing your latest display. I have never grown sunflowers although I enjoy looking at them. Hello Autumn and your Gail Pan stitchery are really moving along. Both are very pretty.
The year is galloping by! I like your August display. Sarah quiltingbythesea
Happy August! I need to find my sunflower mini and put it up!
The little August corner is so cute. I too love sunflower but didn't plant any this year. Hello Autumn is coming along beautifully. Enjoy! ;^)
Thanks, Chantal! I have fun decorating that little spot every month. I try growing sunflowers every year, but a lot of them get eaten by the squirrels. If I'm lucky, I might get one this year because I put a fence around it!
I always enjoy seeing how you decorate the entry table. Got to get out my bees and sunflowers.
Who can resist smiling when seeing sunflowers? (Whether they're real or stitched!)
LOL! We have our love for sunflowers in common. Your display chest looks lovely! Beautiful stitching! And your Hello Autumn is so cute! Thank you for sharing!
