April's Daisy - Progress Report

My "Series Sunday" idea seems to be what it takes to motivate me to work on my current Cottage Garden Samplings project.  I've finished the border of "April's Daisy", and have made good progress on the sentiment.

"April's Daisy - Finally Some Progress Once Again

I got out of the habit of working on Cottage Garden Sampling's floral series while I was travelling this summer.  I decided that Sundays would become "Series Sundays" and if on no other day of the week, I'd at least devote some time on Sundays to working on this series.  I stitching the vine on the bottom and the right side of "April's Daisy".  So I'm back on track again. 

Finally, March is completed!

It only took me all summer, but I finally finished March... with a little help from my friends!

Of course I had to change some of the colours, I didn't like the brown and green lettering so I chose the purple and blue, more spring like.  I also had to include the Welsh Dragon since St. David's Day is March 1st.

August Poppy Progress

Here is my start on August Poppy. I love it! Stitching on 32 ct Confederate Gray by Silkweavers. It's more blue than gray...perfect for a beach scene.

Are any of you stitching your patterns? Don't forget to share your progress here. I seem to recall a potential giveaway for joining this SAL and posting progress... ;-)

Finally finished April's Daisy. Don't you all LOVE the creative borders?!!! It is so festive for Spring AND for Easter!

April progress

Here's what I've done so far on My Garden Journal's April Daisy. I'm stitching it on Butterscotch Cookie by Sassys Fabbys. Anyone else working on one of these patterns this month?

Update

It has been quite a while since I have posted an update. I was busy with some commitment stitching. Now that is over I can concentrate on just those pieces I really want to. And My Garden Journal is a definite want to.

I finished the cover page of my journal. I am planning on making this into a pillow. I am not sure if I plan on making  pin cushion or a larger one. I will have to take it with me next time I go to the fabric store and see if anything jumps out at me.

Of course, I don't think I had a single thread called for. But I like the way it came out. These colors are so me. And this border seemed to take forever but it is worth every stitch.

I am about 1/2 done with March's panel and should complete it by this weekend. Hopefully I will get some time to start on April this weekend. I just received May last week. I am loving every stitch I make on these.

Until next time...

Ta Ta for Now,
