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.

ReplyDeleteAnother fun stitch - woohoo! I'm anxious and excited about stitching all the stamps. Last night I stitched the April Little House and truly enjoyed it so much. Family challenges are exhausting and filled with anxiety. Please don't forget to take care of yourselves. Besides are own personal challenges the world is also filled with so many. Big, big sigh!!!

Melisa, I am sorry to hear about your family challenges. Hopefully, they will soon improve. My husband and I have been dealing with heart issues. On the bright side, I am so excited about the upcoming SAL Summer Sampler. Your teaser photo is amazing. I have stitched and framed the Autumn and Spring Sampler and am preparing to frame the Winter Sampler. I rotate them for the seasons and they sure make me smile. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
