Stitches of Summer

It has been a busy couple weeks

and still my poor sewing machine

is feeling neglected.

But, I have this

beautiful stack of fabric

just waiting to be sliced into pieces

and sewn back together.

 

 

 

You could call it therapy.

(And right now I need a little)

The colors just make me happy. 

I am so looking forward to working

 with these little beauties.

 

So what exactly have I been doing this

summer?

In the few moments,

that I am not painting the house,

and all the other home improvement

projects that require nice weather

or regular household chores,

I have been working on a little

stitching

 

 

I think I will be saving this

for the

 See You in September Blog Hop.

I am very close to having the

embroidery all done.

 

 

Our garden is in full bloom and I

LOVE it.

We had a lot of rain today

and it just keeps coming.

While there was a small

break in the clouds, I

snapped a shot of one of my favorite

day lilies.

 

And my dear sweet quilting friend,

Vickie from More Stars in Comanche,

worked up my pattern

the Watkins Star.

 



 

I am in love with her color choices.

It just screams

SUMMER. 

She has a second in the works,

that is a totally different theme.

Go and check out the teaser photo.

 

Hope you all are

 enjoying your week!
