Floss Friday – Cross Stitch Progress

Happy Friday, Friends!

It’s been two weeks since I’ve shown any cross-stitch progress. That is because I only stitched on one piece last week. It is still a good one.

Melissa’s Pinker n Punkin’ Quilting and Stitching Summer Stamp Sampler.


Last week’s stamp was Sunflower Strut.


Who doesn’t love crows strutting around a sunflower?


This week’s stamp is Summer Quilt. I think it is perfect for the center block of the sampler.



If you visit Melissa’s blog here, the link will take you to this week’s post about the stitch along. In this post, she has included links to all previous Summer Stamp releases.


Last Sunday was Zoom Stitch Day with friends. I could not decide what to stitch on. I needed a little break from all the patriotic WIPs so…I started something new, of course.


Red Letter Sampler by Threadwork Primitives


The colors are not quite as dark as they appear in the photo, but they are not as muted as the model on the chart cover.


Fabric = 36 count linen, Rhyolite from Weeks Dye Works

Floss = the called-for, stitching 2 strands over 2 linen threads


My recent schedule hasn’t given me a lot of time to be creative. However, I am keeping current with Melissa’s stitch-along, as well as Fat Quarter Shop’s quilt-alongs.  I’ll be back on Monday to share two more quilt blocks.


Enjoy the weekend ahead and I’ll see you soon.

Your Summer stitch along looks wonderful, Jeanna! You're doing a great job keeping up. I'm just finishing up stamp 3 right now. I love the Red Letter Sampler, too! Stitching alphabet letters always appeals to me. Enjoy your stitching this weekend!

Beautiful embroidery—I love the sunflower with the crows, and the star is just lovely... it’s almost like a quilt pattern! :-)))
Warm regards to you, and have a wonderful weekend.
