As elsewhere it has been hot here. I have been out in the gardens at 0700. Have accomplished a bit of summer clean up. A lot left to do.
Here we have Gibbs with the right idea. Belly up to the window screen to get the breeze. Kitty heaven.
Slow stitching is what I have worked on. Stitching Quaker by Primrose Cottage has been completed. This was stitched on a 28-count linen. Not sure why I chose such a large stitch space. After working on 40-count this looks enormous.
I have begun Stitching Quilt by Primrose Garden. The same colors and size linen are used in both.
I see them finishing as a table runner or topper. Need to find the proper material colors and will make a log cabin block around them. Right now, it will be three blocks. The center block will have a solid center to its log cabin.
The MorningStar hot pad by Plum Easy was made. I am wanting to make her Point of View table topper. The prairie points were making me nervous, so I started with this, a Hexi point. This was made without a problem, and I now have the confidence to work the prairie points.
Linking to Slow Stitching Sunday at Kathy's Quilts.
Love those scissors in the stitching. It's super cute.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to start with a smaller project to gain confidence
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects are so pretty. I like the idea of making those cross-stitch pieces into a table runner. You have given me an idea. Stay cool and enjoy your stitching.
ReplyDeleteGibbs is a smart cat! Such pretty stitches and love that cat needle minder.
