A Look Back At Summer Stitchin'

Few stitchy pieces from this past summer. All below pieces finished in the style of Priscillas2000 blog and bow tutorial from Javagirl Stitches on Youtube unless otherwise noted. Floss used was in the Priscilla and Chelsea's Fancy Floss Favorites by Fat Quarter Shop.
August by Hands on Design. Stitched this year. Changed the ants and large sunflower. Did not use called for colors.

July by Hands on Design. Stitched this year. 

All pieces with exception of Honeybee Sampling by Little House Needleworks were stitched and FFO'd this year.

All the flowers are from the garden.

Old Red Barn by LHN. Stitched and FFO'd this past summer.

Change


A season of change. The blog has a new name, something that I have been contemplating for a while now. I love the story of the little red hen. She worked so hard all by herself. While I do love the help of others I also enjoy figuring out how to do something on my own.

Cotton and wool. Made this little quilt in 2016. It is so cute! Colors inspired by Pumpkin Patch Primitives. 

Lantern bow with cross stitched medallion. Pattern by Brenda Gervais.


This was a fun and quick stitch! It is Hands on Design. Very fun stitch using substitute colors that I had in my stash.

Handmade spider with fuzzy/fluffy body.

To use this most of the year, I replaced the pumpkins in the door with chickens and the pumpkins on the hill with sunflowers.

28 ct coffee/tea dyed monaco using called for threads.



Fall ready Hoosier. 

Hands on Design using Priscilla Blain's finishing inspirations and Javagirl Stitches youtube tutorial on bow making!


Stitched years ago. Scissors keep.

Happy stitching,
Holly
