Poppies blooming in the summer heat.

Happy Dance time!!

I have another finish. A two for one (hehe). I am working on the "My Garden Journal" monthly series and am working it up into a four seasons style finish. Last night I put the last stitch in August's Poppy completing the summer panel.

First up...August's Poppy. DD and I both agree

that the blue and white waves on the bottom

are the best.

Here we have the full summer panel.

Only 3 more months and one final panel to complete before the series is done.

Ta Ta for now,

September's Morning Glory - Finished

 

Design - "September's Morning Glory"

Designer - Cottage Garden Samplings

Fabric - 32 count French Lace linen

Fibers - WDW, GAST, & DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads

Started - 10 August 2014
Completed - 31 August 2014

Yea!  I managed to get this finished in August as part of my goal to turn UFO's into WIPs and then WIPs into finished stitches. 

Yet another really pretty design in this series.  I think the Morning Glories are stunning! So detailed.

Very life-like when compared to the real thing! 

September's Morning Glory - Flowers!

I've been working along on Cottage Garden Samplings "September's Morning Glory".  The blue flowers are composed of six different colors of floss, the purple of four different colors.  Now I need to stitch seven leaves and some assorted vines, and this WIP will be complete.

Another finish in the same month? Oh My! I finished July's Delphinium this weekend. Don't you just love the the picnic?

Here is the Summer Panel to date. Just 4 more month's and the year is complete!

I can't ever seem to get a good picture but I love the bright colors in these two. Only 4 more months to go. I think I might start on August this weekend.

Ta Ta for now,

September's Morning Glory - Stitching Progres

A bit more progress to share on "September's Morning Glory".

I've finished the squirrels, the owls, all the falling leaves and the sentiment.  Now I've begun stitching the morning glory blooms.  They are in purples (4 colors) and blues (4 colors) with rather complex shading. 

September's Morning Glory - Finally Started

I kitted up Cottage Garden Samplings "September's Morning Glory" back in late June. And there it sat...and sat...and sat.

I finally got re-energized and began stitching.  I worked on it a couple of days and have most of the border done.  I'll finish that up and continue work on the sentiment, then on to the morning glories!

My sister always grows some morning glories in her kitchen garden. I hope they'll still be in bloom by the time I've finished this.

Honeysuckles and Delphiniums are Blooming

Hello all,

I am so excited I finished another month on "My Garden Journal" and about half way on another!!

First up: June's Honeysuckle

Aren't those little bees in the border so cute?

Next is my progress on July's Delphinium.

 

Last week I was contacted by Cottage Garden Samplings seeking my permission to post my progress pictures on their Face Book page. They liked the idea of doing a set of 4 Seasons. What else could I say but "YES". I was so excited to see their post. Their post gave me such a thrill, that now I can hardly put this project down.

Ta Ta for now,
