Floss Friday -- Cross Stitch Update

Happy Floss Friday, Friends!

It has been a good stitchy week. I have a finish, though not fully finished project, to share.

Before getting to the “FO”, let me give you a weekly update on Melisa’s  (Pinker n Punkin' Quilting and Stitching) Summer Stamp Sampler.

Pink Lemonade is this week’s release. 

Melisa even shared a recipe for pink lemonade on her blog here.

I must hurry and finish the last three boxes as we only have a few more weeks left of this stitch-along.

There was a good bit of progress made on Salute to Abigail by Blackbird Designs.

You may remember, I had to ‘frog’ and re-stitch a good portion of the border TWICE. I think I have it now.

All the motifs are complete, and I am working on the vine in the border to make sure it matches before adding the flowers. After that I will add the words and date. I’m thinking of doing a bit of recharting. I'll remove Abigail’s name and add “July 4, 1776” in that spot and then change the other side to “July 4, 2026.” What do you think?

I finished stitching the last Patriotic Pear.

Red, White and Blue

Patriotic Pears by Annie Beez Folkart

Now to get the courage to actually sew them into pears… That attempt won’t happen until the end of June, at the earliest.

Time to put the stitching aside for the weekend. Fat Quarter Shop releases another Sewcialites 3 block today. That means some sewing will need to happen. Then the plan is to do some house cleaning.

What is on your agenda for the weekend? Tell me all the things!

I’ll be back Monday with a quilting update, and who knows what else. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

See you soon.
