Summertime Treat Stamp - Summer Stamp SAL

 Rise and Shine, Sunshine!  Are you ready to hit the floor running? I sure am  though I am not sure what all I will get into today other than  continue working on the Summer Stamp SAL.

Today I am sharing Stamp 3 called " Summertime Treat". A sassy little crow is ready for a hot summer's day with a couple of fresh picked  juicy, ripe cherries and a big slice of watermelon.  Yum! Yum!

Summertime Treat was stitched with the following DMC colors: Blanc, 223, 310, 782, 815, 930, 3345, and 3346. 

 I used 1 strand of DMC 3346 to backstitch the cherry stem. 

 On the large sampler, I used 1 strand of DMC 223 to outline the tablecloth so that it would stand out on the  Rit Lemon Yellow  dyed Aida. 

I outlined my tablecloth on the Summertime Treat stamp with DMC 223 so it would stand out more. 


If you are interested in how I dyed my 14 count Aida, I shared the process in a post last week entitled Let's Dye Some Fabric

I will keep it short and sweet today. But I would like to leave you with a couple of older photos from 2022 from my Summer Days Embroidery SAL. I shared  an embroidery entitled "Summertime Treats " with 2 bluebirds. 



"Summertime Treats " embroidery design that I shared on March 24, 2022. 

In 2022,  I shared 12 hand embroidery designs  for the Summer Days Quilt which I completed by the end of that year.  It makes me one to start a new embroidery project. 🤗


Have a beautiful day and keep those needles threaded.
