Is this the last Slow Stitching Sunday in June? By golly, I do believe it is ! Where has the month gone?
Welcome ya'll and Happy Sunday!
Many of ya'll know that I started canning this week. Right now it is pickles . So the official tally for the week is 9 jars of Bread and Butter, 5 jars of Dill Spears , and 4 jars of squash pickles. I am working on small batches right now, but it will add up.
The garden has certainly been keeping me busy. The other day my oldest grandbaby inspected the maters to see if there were any bugs and such.
We also took off suckers and planted some of them. Soon we will be swimming in tomatoes. ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
A little canning jar design for you. It's a choose your own colors chart. I plan to work on it today.
If you are interested in stitching this piece, just grab , the images. For printing tips, refer to the post Tips for Printing which has loads of tips from my sweet friends.
Of course summer time activities have cut into my stitching and quilting time. But I have accomplished a few things.
I finished the embroidery work on "When Life Gives You Lemons". I think I will create another block to go with it soon.
Last night I finished the nine patches and rail fence blocks for the Summer Blues Quilt Archaeology design by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. It is a freebie only through today Sunday June 25th.
Joy of Days Filled with Joy has been hosting a seasonal embroidery SAL for the past year. I have embroidered each and every one.๐๐ค
On Friday, she shared the 5th embroidery motif in the Spring SAL.
So today my nimble fingers will be enjoying working on this embroidery. And Eeeeh! Joy will be sharing a Summer SAL soon. Thank you , Joy.
Alrighty ya'll , have a beautiful and blessed day and thank you so much for dropping by for a Sunday visit.
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

The other night the youngins enjoyed running about the yard in search of lightning bugs. Do you remember doing that? They had such a good time. Of course they released them once they had a small jar full. Aaah Summer time pleasures.
