Not Floss Friday but Stitching Saturday

Happy Weekend, Friends.

Instead of yesterday’s Floss Friday, I celebrated National Sewing Machine Day and shared my collection of machines. You can find that post by clicking here, in case you missed it and are interested.


Today I am listing my May stitching stats and sharing a new start.


May’s stitch count is 6,337 on six different projects. There hasn’t been any new progress on the following since I last posted about them:

-       - Parrot by Salty Stitches Designs (love this one)

-       - Memorial Day by Hands on Designs (NOT loving this one)

-       - Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings (love this but it will be a years long project)

You saw my finish on May’s Calendar Crate by Stitching with the Housewives, but I never shared the final finish. As a reminder, this is the series that is displayed on the piece from Hobby Lobby and is just inside the garage entry.


This will stay up until I either finish July’s or when August rolls around. I never started the June piece…it’s on the list.


You also saw my finish on A Honey of a Tiny Town by Heart in Hand. The bee display has been moved to the Hoosier cabinet. This is how it stands for now. I may add another stitched piece, and I also may get out the Rae Dunn Queen Bee tea pot, honey dipper and cup.


Bee Display 2025

I decided to join Hollis Hands Create in her summer stitch along. She encourages stitchers to start a patriotic pattern on Memorial Day and finish by Labor Day.

 

This was my start and finish last year…


Liberty House by Brenda Gervais

This is what I selected for this year’s SAL…


I’m stitching American Sampler by Primrose Cottage on 40 count linen by Fabrics by Stephanie, in the color Chocolate Milk. I’m using most of the called-for floss.


With the weather finally turning nice, it has been difficult to stay inside and stitch…or sew.

 

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

 

See you soon,

Your displays are so pretty, Jeanna! I love the little chair on the Hoosier cabinet. Your new sampler is a neat one - I have never stitched anything by Primrose Cottage, but am very tempted!

I love seeing what's being displayed in your Hoosier Cabinet. It always looks so nice! I like the patriotic pattern you chose. I've seen Primrose Cottage patterns before and always seem to like them.
