Good afternoon! For the record, I am not smitten with another human! I am smitten with Primrose Cottage🩷🩷🩷
We'll jump right in! I have 2 finishes for July, 1 I think I forgot to show, and that's Hello Summer by Primrose Cottage!...
If you sign up for their newsletter, you receive a free Friday design but 2 weeks before, you can order the kit which is fabric, floss, and a gift and/or the finishing supplies. That's what I did for this one, the July stitch, and the May which is a patriotic stitch. And because Carol/Stitching Dreams showed her Bee display, I have to stitch the Primrose Cottage free Friday piece for August, a Bee design! Lol. I'll always love Lizzie Kate but I have room to do Primrose Cottage too!
My 2nd finish is Clara's Christmas by Hands on Design...
The colors are pretty washed out. The dress is pinker and the fabric is more blue with some red in it. It's pretty! I made a few changes, a few mistakes, haha. A change was leaving off a green line running through the bottom of her dress. I love the nutcracker too! The designer released this during Jingle Ball 2024 but I haven't checked to see if it's on her website.
I have progress to show...
Noel Sampler by WTN&T. I got the the roof in and started the red walls below it.
I've come upon a rotation of sorts, and that is to look at a WIP and decide what big section can I work on to make some progress. Some progress is better than no progress, right?! So with Noel, I did the roof and then moved onto something else. That something else was Morticia's Second Line, my #spookysummer piece....
Last week, I stitched up the parasol and started on the dancing skeleton. Just last night I finished the skeleton and then had to finish the flowers on the horse's rump. Then the reins and the line going to the funeral coach, see the pic above. That dancing skeleton and parasol were my plans for this new rotation. Today, I've started back on Merry Christmas Sampler...
Directly below the white zigzag border are gold and white star motifs; you can see the gold ones easily. Stitching the white stars and the first row of alphabet will be on the drawing board for today and the week.
l'm liking this rotation plan!!
I have another WIP I want to work on after Morticia and it's this Blackbird Design...
So pretty! It's in the Ooh La La book.
But that's not all!
I want to start Halloween Delivery by PSS sometime...
So I've stitched this once before🤷🏻♀️but this will be mine. It'll be part of the #spookysummer stitching.
Has it ever been hot!! High 90s, low 100s, I'm weary of it. Today, it actually rained for 10 minutes but the sun is out again. It's definitely the dog days of summer!
Well, that didn't take long.
I hope to have some final finishes to show next time. I was watching a flosstube and she showed mat board that she ordered from 123stitch! How come I didn't think of that?! I'm hoping it's not bowed.
Take care, stay cool, and see you soon!
