Summer Stamp SAL Borders

 Good afternoon, y'all and Happy Tuesday. I hope your week is off to a delightful start. Today I am just popping in for a quick visit with the start of the Summer Stamp SAL. 

My nimble fingers have been stitching away.  All of the stamps are stitched and soon little pin pillows will be made. 

But wait! I am also restitching these little stamps into a larger sampler.  Sooooo... that means I have been working on stitching the borders. 

For the larger sampler, I decided to stitch the Summer Stamps on a yummy Rit Lemon Yellow dyed piece of 14 count Aida.

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.

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing the little stamps which can be stitched individually or as a whole.
