Salute to Abigail has been calling my name but I haven’t given her any attention since my last update. Instead, I started stitching Patriotic Pears by Annie Beez Folk Art.
I finished the blue one…
Started the red one…
These are a quick stitch and I hope to finish the third one in a couple of days. Then I will attempt to fully finish them into pears myself, rather than sending them to a finisher. I watched a very good tutorial by Nichol Spohr on YouTube. Nichol does a fabulous job with her tutorials, and I feel this is very doable. I'm stitching Patriotic Pears on 32 count linen by Lapin Loops. I'm not sure of the fabric's color names, I'll have to ask Gary at GaRon Stitchery because he put the fabric pack together.
I am also joining Melisa’s
- Pinker n Punkin’ Quilting & Stitching – Summer Stamp Stitch Along. You can read more about
the stitch along on Melisa’s blog.
First the border
was released… no progress photo
Then the header
was released… no progress photo... I started and just kept going!
She will release one stamp per week, with the final reveal scheduled for June 27th.
I am stitching mine on 28
count Mushroom Lugana by Zweigart, using Melisa’s suggested DMC floss colors. Stitch
count is 107 x 132 and when finished, the piece will fit inside an 8 x 10 frame.
I already have one picked out.
Melisa is very generous
with her talents and offers her designs free of charge to all of us. Thank
you, Sweet Melisa!!!
Are you stitching along
with us? What has been keeping you busy in your crafty endeavors lately?
See you soon,

Those pears are so unique and pretty. You did a great job on Melisa's stamp SAL! I tell myself every day I'm going to get started. Last night I picked up the bin that has all the supplies in it, but that's as far as I got - lol!
Looking forward to seeing your finished pears. The only stitching I have done has been a little more slipper knitting. Hoping to change that over the weekend;)
I love the pears! Your progress on Melisa's SAL is awesome too!
Melissa's SAL looks great. She's so generous with her talent. I love your soon to be pears! The fabrics are such great colors.
Oh Jeanna, your pears are looking fabulous. They look like they would be so much fun to work on. And it is so exciting to see your progress on the Summer Stamp SAL. It is such an honor that you are joining me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and for making my day. Warm hugs and Blessings.
Those pears are fun! I hope the finishing goes smoothly - glad you found a video that helps with that. Your Summer SAL is going along great, too! I have the header done and just started stamp #1 last night. It's going to be fun seeing other people's progress on this!
Hi Jeanna. I absolutely love your pears.
Thank you, dear Linda!
The pears look great and I do like the summer stamp piece. Enjoy your stitching. xx
My word Jeanna - you find some interesting projects and get so much done....Fancy having someone who can finish your projects...I would love a framer at a reasonable cost...lol
I haven't done any stitching of any type. I have been playing with printmaking using a gelatin plate.
I like those pears and I look forward to seeing yours all finished.
You’ll have to let me know how you do making the pears. I have a different kit to make three pears but haven’t even cracked it open! I haven’t cross stitched much of anything in years.
