New WIP- Temperature Quilt

I recently started Stitchin' Mommy's (Her flosstube is here.) Temperature Quilt. Her chart is available on Etsy.

It is fun to watch the strip of colors grow each day with the ongoing changes in our local weather. When July arrives it will be a new strip of colors adjacent to this one, and so on with each passing month. 

I am stitching it on 28 count light blue evenweave, and I am using the 'hot' weather chart she provided with the purchased PDF pattern.

It's really a fun little stitch, but I have a little over 11 months left to go!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Welcome, Summer! A WIP and A New Season

I have been working on Sarah Braizear 1829 for a year now. I am so enjoying her!

Nonetheless, I decided to start two new pieces and I will share those here another day soon.

I have recently retired and am elated to have a new, more relaxed lifestyle.  I loved what I did, but I am now loving this new phase of life. The last month of work was very intense and busy, so it's been refreshing to unwind for the first few weeks of June.

Each end of May and early June we await the blooming of the jacaranda trees in our area.  I took this photo while on a morning walk last week.  They are so wonderful to behold!

Here is a group of photos taken of Sarah B.  This represents the last few months' work.  I have done some satin stitching in the last few months which has been a nice change from the usual stitches. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Stitching,

Sue
