A Little on the Funky Side......(168)

Today's Stroll piece is a little bit of a departure from my usual stitching, but when I saw this chart years ago, I fell in love with the bright colors and fun motifs...it just makes me smile!!! The design is Holiday Seasons by Birds of a Feather and I stitched it in 2004. There were four different designs, one for each season, and I'm showing Summer today. I stitched it on Birds of a Feather fabric (I sure do miss those fabric colors) in called for fibers. They were all mounted separately then put in a frame that had four individual openings ( I bought it like that). I'll share the other seasons at their respective time of year.





I spent yesterday afternoon in the A/C and got week 9 of my SAL done.



Then in the evening I worked on my All About Smalls Challenge piece while watching The Great British Baking Show. I love that show, but it doesn't help much when I'm trying to cut back on sweets. I'm pretty much salivating like a Pavlovian dog the whole time I'm watching.....baked goods are definitely my Achilles heel! I must hold firm....I must hold firm!!!

 

 Please stay cool and thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!
