Summer

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.  

May you all be able to stay cool this weekend.  We are in the 80s but the humidity has finally dropped.  For a few days.
