When it's hot......

....you stitch.

July 4th weekend was just too hot

for much else but stitching.

It was too hot (for me at least)

to even cookout.

I finished this month's installment of the

Prairie Schooler alphabet first thing.

Prairie Schooler "A is for Anchor"

stitched on Lakeside Linen w/DMC

This was definitely the easiest block

so far with no big blocks of color.

Not sure why but I really like

this block.

I picked up one of my

Stitchmaynia starts and focused

on finishing it.  Saturday I was lucky

to meet up with some stitching

friends, old and new, at the

Stitch & Frame

for some shopping, stitching,

eating and laughter.

With a little help from them, I have

had a good stitching weekend.

This was the first installment of this

year's Dyeing to Stitch

Colonial Gatherings Club kit.

Plum Street Samplers "Pennsylvania Fraktur"

Colonial Gatherings kit

stitched on R&R 36ct Ligonier Latte with

WDW, GAST and Classic Colorworks

Hubby and I vacationed in June in Pittsburgh

and was my first visit to Pennsylvania.

We had a great time, which may be

surprising to some, and Pittsburgh

had some neat things to do and see.

Fittingly, the design is a sweet tribute

to the founding of Pennsylvania

with the state's birth date and state motto.

I will definitely be reminded of my

wonderful trip.

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

what to stitch next?

I am itching to start something new

.......so I think I will.

Happy stitching and thanks for visiting!
