Summer Stitching Update

Happy Belated 4th of July!

We had a quiet night here.  And spent the long weekend working outside.  My garden is going great guns.  I'm not getting as many strawberries as usual.  So it's probably time to move the bed. The pea pods, lettuce, and green beans are already coming on and I am busy canning. Here is yesterday's results.

 

As many of you know I have been working on Crabapple Hill's Gardener's Alphabet quilt.  Here is a photo of what it will look like resemble someday :)

Here is new start #2-Crabapple Hill Sunflower Stitchery Holder

That's it for now.  Have a great weekend!
