Bees, Butterflies and a Mini Sunflower Sampler Freebie

Welcome, ya'll! This past week was another  busy week in the holler. Mostly working in the garden . During my off time , I enjoyed spending every moment possible with my grandbabes and nephews, and of course, I smothered them with grandma kisses and hugs. 🤗❤

I have been focused on working on my Butterflies from Heaven quilt. I completed the maroon and the green butterfly blocks.  

Woo Hoo! I  have a few more  finishes too !  First, I finished the July Picnic Basket  doodle that I shared at the beginning of the month. 

My embroidery was a little off this week, but I got it done. Sometimes the hands just do not want to cooperate. Lol.  Seven blocks are completed. 

 I will be working on August block this week. 

 I have been as busy as a honey bee  finishing my Mini Bee Sampler that I shared in my May 10th post.

 If you are interested in stitching it, just click the colored text. I added some twisted thrifted yellow yarn as trim around the edges. I think it is as sweet as honey. Don't you? 

How about another mini sampler? This one is called Mini Sunflower Sampler. I haven't stitched it yet, but it is on the agenda. It is another "Choose Your Own Colors" chart. I haven't decided my colors yet, but I will certainly post an update when I do.

UPDATE:  I finished my Mini Sunflower Sampler into a wee pin pillow. I added twisted yarn to the seam for trim.  

This was a Choose Your Own Colors chart, but if you are interested, I used DMC 469, 782, and 898.  -August 10, 2023
